That rocks! But so does this. Once it was an ad on the NYC subway and I stared at it for weeks before realizing it was, in fact, what it was.

Well, the "Threw up in my mouth a little" from page four is definitely a good one to stop prior to.

This is a powerful Vokuhila (you can almost see the qi collimated like a laser in the front, rippling behind him in the back), but I can see Vokuhilas of even greater power on any given Saturday on Müllerstraße in Wedding, Berlin.
Anyway, everyone knows that unless your wife and kids have identical Vokuhilas, the gates to transcendence will remain forever closed to you.

LEAVE GARY SPIVEY'S HAIR ALOOOONEEE! He's the inspiration to my dream that a real live person who wants a collection of wigs like some kind of human Afro Ken is possible!
I also feel like anything from the 80s should be automatically exempt from things like this. It's just too easy.

Thank you for the post. Or rather, my office thanks you. I was getting kind of hostile with co-workers over the loss of social mobility with the passage of socialized medicine, and these made me giggle.

A hairstyle that should be on there but isn't (at least not yet) is one I used to see in the early nineties but can't find a picture of now. It appeared on young guys. The sides were almost shaved, and the top was brushed straight back and gathered into a flat, short ponytail. Also, I never could stand the rat tail.

I think what orange swan is referring to is this. I've always interpreted it as an un-gelled mohawk that's tied down for work.

No, this was more for guys into metal and hard rock, and a style unto itself. Mohawks were generally for punks.

I used to work with a guy who had the not-fooling-anyone-but-himself comb-over thing going on. Apparently he used some sort of stiffening spray or gel to keep the strands in place. Occasionally he'd be heading out through the company parking lot on a breezy day, and the wind would gently lift and drop the whole rigid latticework from where it hinged along the "part" on one side of his head. Made him look like an aroused cockatoo. If only I'd had a video camera back then....

Telltale Games has a series called Sam and Max. (That I just adore, but that's beside the point.) The point is, that in the series, there's a rather mad psychic running amuck...and he has Spivey's hair. So, the whole two years or whatever that I was playing these serial episodes, I didn't realize it was patterned after a real loony.
That just makes the games *so* much better.

My son and I just got our hair cut yesterday, and since I had gone a little crazy trimming my bangs before I decided to head to the studio and have a professional do the job right, I was scared I'd end up looking...well, like one of those people.
Thankfully, I'm happy with my new cut. But, wow, even for the 80's, what were they thinking?!

Not on that site, but here is perhaps my favorite hairdo: Super Mohawk Hair.
Bear hair is from hair hats by Nagi Noda - highly creative art director - there are many more great animal hairdos on her site. Sadly, we had an obit thread on Nagi Noda last September.
Fun collection of images, but it sucks when these collection sites don't link the source.
