LOVED IT… I wonder WHICH parent did the childs hair… I think it was a fight cause hers flips one way, his flips another way… and kiddos is mixed… I think maybe they BOTH did it…hmmmm
I can t believe no one commented on his chest hair, which probably has a little aquanet in it too, and the medallion hanging on the chain. How about her puffy silver heart earrings with the bow…gotta love them
We called this style the “Michigan Claw” back in the day – it was usually just confined to the bang region…I love the feral child comment. Everytime I think of this picture and comments I crack up – people at work are starting to think I am weird.
A comment…A comment…My kingdom for a comment. Oh, okay. i’d like to think these parents went on to become staunch buttoned down conservatives & the kid continued with the hairstyle/lifestyle the rest of his life. And the parents didn’t dare say anything about it because this time it was true. They really did make him that way.
I spent a couple of months in Queensland, Australia in 2003, and they still had hairdos like this. Mullets everywhere you went. People in business suits with mullets, children with mullets. Oh and stone washed denims. And non-stop 80’s music on the radio. It was like being transported back to 1986, Hot tub Time Machine style.
‘85 Mustang 5.0 two-tone, Silver and Grey. An Iron Maiden album cover is etched into the back window. Inside cover art from Led Zeppelin IV is etched into the rear quarter windows. The car wreaks of a pungent mixture of Calvin Klein’s Obsession, Liz Claiborne for women and Armor All.
dude, come on. it’s def a z28 with t tops, crager wheels and an alpine stereo…and it smells like drakkar. he cranks billy squier’s ‘the stroke’ whenever it comes up on the cassette deck.
Depends on the humidity. On normal days, I could spray my bangs and they would stay up all day. I knew girls in high school who would apply a new coat of Aqua Net between each class…

I knew a girl in junior high who used so much aqua net on her big hair that flies would get trapped in her bangs. That stuff turned these hairstyle into helmets…
It had to be acid-washed TAPERED leg jeans – straight legs were not “in” – the TAPER was the thing – or pegged if you had the material. The thing about the tapered leg jeans was that it gave everyone that “ice cream cone” shape – that was never a good look on anybody…….
oh, yeah, tight at the ankles, pinned, rolled, however you could get them tight. I had a pair that were so tight they had a little half zipper at the ankle to the hem. Memories!
i was just telling my coworker about my acid washed pegged jeans with and extra large tshirt sleeves rolled up and white keds and white socks. i miss 1989.

OMG LOL. I was wondering the same thing!
Maybe… it’s genetic?
Love the lipstick………poor little guy! His first mullett………….nice tribute to Bon Jovi Dad!
I am envisioning tight rolls
Well, you can imagine the fighting over the hot rollers,right?
Fantastic, now I want a mullet! Mullets for life!
REEBOKS!

I KNOW! That was the first thing I saw!!!Yikes!!!
I HAD those same earrings. And my hair was big, but I bow to their total hair dominion.
Вы ошибаетесь. Пишите мне в PM, поговорим.
It’s cute. At the time I bet everyone liked it. Now they can have a laugh.
OMG! I want to frame that!
Happy Mullet Day!
‘You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man’
I see this pic and I have to hit the six strings on my…AIR GUITAR!
I wonder how often they need to clean their shower drains.
This family has 2 pics on this site! I just saw their second pic and it’s actually more awkward!
I’m obsessed! I am dying to know who these people are and what they look like now.
They look ten times better now, at the Father n Son at least
Lovely
This is exactly why our ozone is being depleted
remember the boomerang kid in Mad Max?
This is the second entry I read tonight. And I am on my third. Got to think which one is next. Thank you.
i think they have a rapid pet hair dresser hiding somewhere
Oh my gosh- Chess King really! Don’t forget your Z-Cavarichies (however it’s spelled)
he used the same technique in the end and it worked
Why is it that people say they “slept like a baby” when babies wake up 10 times every hour?
This family SINGLE-HANDEDLY caused the hole in the ozone.
Mulberry bush aside, would a monkey really chase a weasel?
Halfway there … oh-ah … Livin’ on a Prayer …
Sorry. I was overwhelmed by a segue into the 80’s.
Lip stick should really be a different color than your normal flesh tone. Otherwise, it’s like erasing your lips. And that’s just weird.
No F-in way…lol…

hope they don’t have a dog…
I would have given my left eye for mall bangs like that.
Thunder… thunder…. ThunderCats!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my life – the picture made me cry with laughter but your comment actually made me wet myself

lmao, you KNOW the tapered acid washed jeans met up with 3 pairs of Wigwam socks, all different colors…
SAY TEASE!!
And this is where they got the idea for the hair from Water World . . .

Or a Firebird …
I want to meet you because that is the funniest thing I have read. The comments get funnier as I continue reading down this post.

Oh no way, this is definitely not the early 80s, hair wasn’t that teased and sprayed then lol…this pic looks very mid-late 80s.

Dont forget the chrome chick mud flaps and a bumper sticker that says ‘Bitchin”
I knew a girl in junior high who used so much aqua net on her big hair that flies would get trapped in her bangs. That stuff turned these hairstyle into helmets…
Or an I-ROC
You young-bucks need to get your decades straight! Poly bellbottoms were in the 70s…Big hair was in the 80s.

Drakkar — You just brought back a flood of memories!!!

Stroke Stroke Stroke….

Tight at the ankles!
CHESS KING! HA HA HA! I haven’t heard of that place in decades!
Hahahahaha, “ice cream cone shape”! So true!
