Life In The 1970's

Pretty Poufs, Braided Buns, and Merry Muffs

“Call them what you will – pretty poufs, braided buns, merry muffs — these coif-accessories provide a plus for your hairdo. Ask your hairstylist to show you a little hairpiece magic.”
Modern Salon Styles 1972, Published by Modern Beauty Shop Magazine Chicago, IL

The Cockettes

Stills from the glittertastic documentary The Cockettes by David Weissman and Bill Weber. The performance group/acid heads depicted were drugged out, hippie drag queens swathed in glitter, crinoline, hoop skirts, and colored lace. Any fan of vintage and dressing up can’t help but be inspired by these images.
