Do you? 8 - By MARCKLLA WALKER There were snickers, lots of stares, and little eye to eye contact as shoppers in the mall became aware of the boy with the bizarre hairdo. I'm not sure what it is called but it slightly resembles porcupine quills sticking up from the top of the head in two rows, one on either side of center. The rest of the head is shaved bald. This was only one more, although an extreme one, of several new hairdo's being worn around the area.. I haven't seen the porcupine quill look in Pleasant Grove and vicinity but there have been others. Most noticeable for both boys and girls is the hair style with the hair long on one side and short on the other. Usually it is bleached blond somewhere along the line. There have been a few who have had the hair shaved in alternating rows on one side of the head. Most of the teenagers around here still wear their hair in more traditional styles, but a few are daring enough to try something quite far out. Don't get me wrong, I am not criticizing the extreme styles. Some do get a second glance from me when I see them, but if that is what they want it is alright with me. It is alright with me, that is, as long as it is someone else's kid and not mine. My children point their finger and laugh when they see pictures of the '50's with the crew cuts and duck wear their Levi's really low on the hips. It seemed that some of them were competing to see who could wear them the lowest and not lose them. The guy who came the closest to being like The Fonz in our high school, wore a ducktail sometimes, a black leather jacket, and his pants so low that one time as he bent over to get a drink from the fountain in the hall some one jerked his pants down and his jockeys were exhibited for all to see. Some guys still wear their pants pretty low. Usually they are not high school guys, but rather, are fellows who lived in the '50's and whose paunch has now made it difficult to get the pants any higher. Also, have you ever noticed that most men have no back side to speak of? No wonder their pants do not stay up too well. My husband, bless his heart, has a pair of grey pants. He likes his pants roomy and the kids say he looks like the back of an elephant from the rear when he has those pants on. But there is a lot to be said for comfort. I explain to my girls that we used to wear our Levi's rolled up to just below the knee. We'd borrow one of our dad's old white dress shirts that hung nearly to our knees and that was our favorite outfit. It sure was comfortable. We did not have designer jeans in those days. Any old pair of jeans would do. Boys wore Levi Strauss and they looked just like they do tails Most of the guys wore a crew cut. Some with a good head of hair were brave enough to wear the ducktail. , When Yul Brenner reached a peaK of popularity, a few very daring guys even some students at BYU, shaved their heads. That was very bizarre in those days. When Marlon Brando had his hair dyed biond for "The Young Lions," a ! war movie of the '50's, lots of guys : went out and got their hair dyed blond. ,i Girls wore their hair in a pony tail, page boy, flip, or brushup. There were not many extremes among the girls hair styles. Boys who were really brave would |
