2. Sad. They came along too early to sing for the B-52s.

6. Love the two blondes!

They're sufficiently whacky to be cool, but he brunette style looks too much like an actual coif from the era.

7. That makes me think of the film 'Blow Dry'

I love that film. It's about a hair styling competition, starring Alan Rickman, Natasha Richardson, Rachel Griffiths, Bill Nighy, Rachel Lee Cook and Heidi Klum.

A real gem of a film.

All those waves
