The Masterpiece

“My senior photo, 1989. I remember the photographer and his helper had to move their set up back in order to capture my whole head. Side note: this picture got me voted Greatest 80s Hair by National Geographic TV’s contest.”

Shock & Awe

“In 1988, my mother won a free portrait session from Olan Mills for me and my brother. I remember feeling uncomfortable with my clothes and our pose and I think the only thing that felt normal to us was our hair.”

Fired Up

“We were celebrating my nephew’s 2nd birthday and my baby nephew had made a grab for the candle and we were all screaming at his mum to pull him back. The birthday boy was oblivious (as was dad…nothing new there!)”
