Dueling Hairdryers: Vintage Portraits from Olan Mills
December 31st, 2007 by Jeff Simmermon
God, I wonder how much they spent on shampoo and conditioner as a household. Probably at least as much as this guy spent on mousse and hairspray.
That photo up there comes from a fantastic post (via Metafilter) of spectacularly crappy vintage portraits from Olan Mills Studios. Like one of the comments says, “hilarious in an oddly painful way.”
For a bonus treat, check out this lovely lady.
Happy New Year, everyone. Drive safe and don’t resolve too much all at once.

Linking to an image is one thing, but you just can’t take it as your own. Thank you for removing it.
Yes, Jeff & I are still together – 20 years. But for the record, he never used mousse or hairspray – it was naturally curly.

Glad to hear that Steph and Jeff have made it and glad I saw the picture.

Congrats on 20 years there Steph!
Anyone else think Jeff looks a lil like Mitch Hedberg? You guys woulda made a kick-ass sitcom a-la “That 70s Show”
RIP Mitch!
