We could have been twins back then...no hippies where I came from either !

carol j. phipps		12-Dec-2008 02:15
Right on for the 1960's! I had a similar haircut.

Yvonne		12-Dec-2008 02:03
I remember that hairdo, we used to have to queue for ages in line and the hairdressers were kept so busy! Fabulous shot of you Sheila!

Robin Reid		12-Dec-2008 01:28
I love that song and those old styles. Great shot of you.

Cindi Smith		12-Dec-2008 00:07
Oh yes....I remember those styles....Mom had one. I was just a kid in the 60's.....so no poofy hair for me until the 70's came and went!

CreativeWiseGal		12-Dec-2008 00:01
Oh my mother had the same hairstyle! And on a bad day, it was easily replaced with a wig :-)

Máire Uí Mhaicín		11-Dec-2008 23:29
You look stunning Sheila! I remember those hairstyles too. I'm not sure how our hair survived that backcombing!

Guenter Eh		11-Dec-2008 22:21

I spent a day in Morecambe back in '64 - perhaps I saw some swinging gal on the prom!

About the time those long haired moptops, The Beatles, made the scene and started the musical revolution that spurred all that drug use and promiscuity. : )

Guest		11-Dec-2008 18:07
I remember mum putting up your flask and butties for the trip ! JW - What time we off then ? ;-)

JW		11-Dec-2008 18:00
phwoar! Sadly, this was all before my time! (cough). Wish I could emigrate to Oz now and leave this wet, cold, over crowded, dangerous, bankrupt country :-( you made the right decision!
