Farrah Fawcett
February 2, 1947 – June 25, 2009
This was my attempt at the lovely Farrah Fawcett hair do.Hard as I tried it just never came off as eloquently as hers.
But, she was the icon of the 1970s and her hair was all the rage.
Well, okay, it wasn't just her hair, but much more.
Her entire being sparkled.
Every man or boy I knew wanted that woman.
Her famous posters hung in every store and in every boy's bedroom.
Her beauty took my breath away.
Even girls with short hair tried to emulate her, as you can tell from my sister's hair cut.Mostly all of us just ended up with wings sprouting out of our head that never quite came off as miraculously as Farrah's luscious locks.
Yet, she remains a piece of my childhood that will forever be apart of my photo albums as I gave it my all at trying to look like Farrah.
I cannot look at my photos without thinking of her.
Thanks for the memories!
(UPDATE) I've had so many people PM me about my hair that it got me thinking.... Hell, I had Farrah hair before Farrah had Farrah hair. Here's
Proof!
Just so you know, all these pictures were a result of my mother cutting my hair herself for years.... I didn't always have that hair.... I had this hair, which I refer to as Toni Perm Hair!!
And this hair, which I refer to as "My Mother Was Raised In An Orphanage By Nuns" hair..... which is true, she was.

Laurel, Farrah left us all in awe!
You're not so bad, yourself.
I'm going to hope your pointed comments the other night on Barbara O'Brien's piece were offered in a spirit of friendship. You know, I don't get a lot of positive feedback when I intimate that I have mentioned the strains of a long marriage, and how I, as a middleaged man have considered responding to those strains. (And why should I expect positive feedback, really, especially from women who can easily put themselves in my wife's place?)
Statistically, I hear men and women cheat on their relationships at similar rates. My reading seems to indicate men and women cheat for different reasons: men more often cheat for sex, where women tend to cheat for love. Sometimes, I want sex in ways that I don't get from my marriage. My wife knows this, and can't help. What should I do, then?
I have no doubt that if I cheated on my wife, she would (1) respond in kind, and (2) then, and only then, weigh her options. For the record, I have never cheated on my wife, and I have no plans or seductions underway.
But I do think about things that are missing sometimes. And I don't even necessarily have a problem with how you responded. Direct, frank feedback is helpful for my decisionmaking process. Neither do I take back anything I said.
Anyway.
You can read about all that here and you may have a better idea of where I was coming from. I appreciate your feedback and willingness to dialog about it. :
