Glad you didn't jump off the bus Stargazer. Looks like it's it's been a lively bus, time to ramp it up, how about some 80's spandex and big hair. Note how they try to hide the guys in the back.

I loved the 80's big hair and spandex. And since I got sent to Germany in late1990, I got to enjoy big hair and shoulder pads for a few more years (it was still stylish there).

Still in Sick Bay but at least I didn't cough up half a lung this morning. That has to be a good sign, right?

Fantastic CK. The model car looks a bit like the current Land Speed Record holder - the unimaginatively named Thrust.

Big hair seems vaguely popular again now in my part of the world

I loved the 80s Big Hair! Time for a comeback!



I have missed you! Hope to be able to be around more frequently.

I wasn’t much for really big hair, but I could rock me some 80s shoulder pads!

I suppose it is a good sign as long you still have at least half left.

My sister-in-law trained and worked as a hair stylist during the big hair trend then quit to raise a family. She never ever to this day has changed her big hair doo.

I think it's cool to look back on decades to see what were the trends and fashions.

The only problem is if you were to try and look like the 70's and 80's stuff, people would think you're in a Halloween costume!!!

Amazing how things can seem like the norm and then 30 years later it looks like a Halloween costume!!!

I had frosted, permed hair (like the other guy who is not Don Johnson in Miami Vice) - 3 ear rings and wore boots with lots of useless buckles and things. I got married in a silk lined- ivory, shoulder padded Italian suit. All the groomsmen had white suits too...all in the 80's. We looked like a Hollywood mafia family.

A fusion of both. I was out there, man- I'm telling ya!
The other day- I saw a group of teenage kids walking to a bus stop after school. I thinks to myself ' ha! What stupid hair! - one side of the scalp nearly bald- other side very long and combed over the bald half.
Then I remembered Miami Vice- me and my hair.

So comb-overs are in fashion? I guess not on old guys tho. lol. But OMG, wedding pictures.... I had a mullet and a handle bar mustach in mine. The same big haired sister-in-law was in charge of hair styles.

Dragon, I have a sister-in-law that hasn't changed her hairstyle since the late 80's (so I'm told). Big, stiff bangs, OMG.

Thanks for all the memories, gang.

Staying on the Sober Bus regardless of having half a lung, big hair or no hair.

Let us not forget the Big Bouffant Hair of the 60s. Jackie Kennedy exemplified the class the style could exude.

But, then, there were others who, well, words are not adequate:



The refrigerator is rather cool, though.

I was initially going to get married in 1988 but due to future wife's pregnancies it didn't happen until 1993 by which time I had thankfully de-mulleted. A narrow escape.
