[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my hometown in the 1970s women would wear curlers in their hair to the grocery store, and sometimes slippers. Because they were getting ready to go out to dinner or host a party. Not everyone dressed up for everything then either. [/quote]

Yes, and in the past women used to get their hair done once a week (there were apocryphal stories about women having bugs in their beehives--I would think because maybe they looked dirty?). Men used pomade instead of washing their hair. Women wore shapeless housedresses and aprons or earlier versions of leggings--capri pants and not everyone looked like Mary Tyler Moore in them. People have always been slobby, tacky and fat, it's just a different version of it now. [/quote]

And everyone smelled like perfume and cigarettes layered on top of each other! And if they were old, scented powder. When I was a kid I had a constant headache between that and school bus diesel fumes.

Sometimes, though, I am in line near an unwashed hair person and I wish I could go back to the days of heavy perfume and smoking.[/quote]
