Title: Worst Hair on DS?
Post by: Julia99 on May 30, 2003, 12:46:13 AM: Okay. . the departure of Sabrina's gray hair and the arrival of her short short wig begs the question ..who had the worse hair on DS?? My thoughts go to Sabrina of course, Bruno/Aristede, Petofi, Samantha's ringlettes weren't too hot, when Elizabeth wore the bow was bad-overall she had good hair. . other votes. .i know I must be missing some significant bad hair days. . :D

Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on May 30, 2003, 01:28:20 AM: If you want a guy's POV (and I suspect you won't once you see my answer), I think Julia's present hair was the absolute worst on DS. If any woman I know ever had to leave the house with her hair looking as bad as Julia's did in episodes #957 & #958, I think it's pretty much a certainly she would have seriously contemplated suicide rather than leave the house!

I don't care for Julia's present hairstyle, either. As for Petofi and Bruno, I would add Barnabas' spikey doo. I just can't see Barnabas using Dippity Doo every morning and without the benefit of a mirror.

Post by: Anubis on May 30, 2003, 04:00:38 AM: "Dippity Doo" - LOL

The absolute worst hair for me has always been Sabrina's bad wig. It wasn't that bad today, but as time goes by it seems like it is just sitting on top of her head and off to the side. Always drove me crazy. [crazd]
Title: Re:Worst Hair on DS?
Post by: ProfStokes on May 30, 2003, 05:17:23 AM: Bruno and Vangelique are definitely contenders, and possibly 1840 Roxanne and Julia (occasionally.)

Happy Cheap, Insufferable Pig Day! [lghy]

I'll have to agree with this one. I didn't really consider it a hairdo the other day. I thought perhaps she was sleeping in the chair all night and that's what she ended up with!

LOL!! I agree. It always looked as if it was getting ready to "crawl" away somewhere.

For the males it's a toss up between Count Petofi's rug and Aristede's higher than heaven hairdo. I wonder how many cans of Aqua Net they had to use to get his hair that high?[92a2]

Also didn't care too much for Amanda's lopsided ponytail.

What's up with Julia's hair these days? It looked so nice in the beginning of this storyline but now it looks like it needs a good trim. Perhaps this is when she decided to let it grow out because I think she wears it longer in the next storyline. And any woman can tell you that there is just nothing worse than that "in between stage" of a hairstyle when you're trying to grow it out.

I also noticed how pale she's been looking lately, very tired or stressed out.

Title: Re:Worst Hair on DS?
Post by: Cassandra Blair on May 30, 2003, 02:08:51 PM: Julia's hair has been looking rough in the last couple episodes. Let's face it, there was a lot of bad hair on this show: Bruno, Sabrina (both before *and* after), Charity Trask's original 'do, Angelique's Swiss Miss 1840's look, Petofi's mop, Maggie's upsweep that she's currently wearing, Liz's helmet hair, Mrs. Johnson's 'widowed auntie' look and on and on...

I can't decide which was the worst!
Title: Re:Worst Hair on DS?
Post by: Gothick on May 30, 2003, 04:25:53 PM: I'm bummed that nobody has mentioned my honey, Buzz Hackett, here. How could you neglect that majestic mess o' leather and hairgrease? Oh, how quickly they forget.

Buzz's mop looks as if he attempted to wash it in beer, failed to rinse properly, and then dumped half a tube of Brylcreem in it and pushed the SPIN button.

Still, he's all man, and all mine!

Title: Re:Worst Hair on DS?
Post by: CastleBee on May 30, 2003, 05:31:12 PM: First of all - from Mrs. J to Count Petofi - all the wigs stink - IMO of course.

As to bad real life hair - as much as I love the guy, Karlen just did not have the body in his wispy locks to pull off those longer late 60's early 70's hair styles. When he re-appeared at Collinwood the other day I kept having the urge to find a pair of scissors.

I agree about Grayson too. Going from extremely short to mid-length is a bear. I would think that was especailly true back in the days when you weren't supposed to have one hair out of place. I'm going through it now but when it looks extra-crappy to me it probably looks like I'm just sporting a kooky new style to the general public. That's what I call progress! ;)

Cassandra

Steve--was she moonlighting during this period or something? ???She quickly went from ultrachic extraordinaire with the drop waist dresses to the ugly suits now and longer hair. .getting ready for PT Hoffman's ponytale/bun thing? Or was it cuz DC always preferred her hair longer? He slapped a wig on her whenever he could it seems. . . :P
Title: Re:Worst Hair on DS?
Post by: Gothick on May 30, 2003, 05:54:09 PM: Hi Julia, she may have gotten caught up in the planning frenzy around the movie, which was about to go into production at this time. Sam and Gordon wrote it and councils-of-war tended to happen at the Halls apt because it was convenient and, of course, huge.

I think she grew her hair out longer to accommodate the layered-hairpiece look they gave her for the movie, which then continued on for the show.

Well, yes.

But Jenny was Crazy.....and having ones hair styled with an eggbeater sort of goes with the stereotype. Sabrina's wig was supposed to be an improvement. [huhb]

And I can't imagine WHAT Bruno's hair was in aid of! [sure]

Well, at long last I do believe that mystery has finally been solved. I have it on good authority ([wink2]) that Verne Caruso's inspiration for Julia's HODS 'do came from this Mardi Gras reveler:

(http://www.dsboards.com/images/hair.jpg)

(Another great search engine find (see the Cheap insufferable pig day thread on CE/A '03) that I came across quite by accident while looking for something entirely different - but one which I've been saving, just waiting for an opportunity such as this to present itself! (Though it took me longer to remember where I'd put this than it took me to put together everything for CIPD! [lghy]) So, thanks, Midnite - I owe you one! ;))

Post by: Dr. Eric Lang on May 31, 2003, 12:52:48 AM: I think the more difficult question would be - who has good hair on DS right now? Anybody? Everyone's hair looked bad in 1970. I cringe every time I see Jeb Hawkes' mop top because that's pretty much what my hair looked like in the 70's too (except for the color). What were we thinking???

Crazy Jenny

Actually, I kinda got use to Crazy Jenny's do. It was so, well, so '80's. She probably coulda gotten a recording contract had she been around ninety years later. Can't you just see her video of Crazy Girls Just Wanna Have Fun?

The one do that really bugs my mousse is when Liz starts wearing those gull-darn bows. She looked good in her original beehive, all regal and such, but when she got her 60's go-go bob, she looked just as nice in a well-since-I'm-no-longer-imprisoned-in-Collinwood-I-might-as-well-go-Goldie-Hawn-in-my-clothing style. So why did she just hafta ruin the new look but wearing those bows? Little Lulu looked hipper.

The '70's were pretty bad hairwise, but I wasn't real fond of the '60's either. I guess each decade has its style. My goodness! Have you seen some of the "do's" today?? Check out any mall on a Friday night and DS starts to look good!!

Post by: Raineypark on May 31, 2003, 10:12:04 PM: I swear every girl in my daughter's high school wears her hair the same way....long, parted in the middle, pulled back into a twisted ponytail, held with a scrunchie. EVERY SINGLE ONE of them. When they let their hair down, they look exactly like every girl in my 1971 high school yearbook.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Title: Re:Worst Hair on DS?
Post by: Luciaphile on June 01, 2003, 02:04:16 PM: Well, as was pointed out, Crazy Jenny was supposed to be crazy so the hair fit the character and was appropriate. Same thing with Davenport. The guy is supposed to be a zombie. It's not like most corpses look too nice for too long.

I think I would have to nominate Bruno "I got a set of hot rollers for Christmas" Hess.

Title: Re:Worst Hair on DS?
Post by: Gothick on June 02, 2003, 03:26:04 AM: Forgot to mention that Irene Hamalain did the hair on DS until sometime in 1970, and she did sometimes get a mention in the credits. There are some funny pictures of her in the various PomPress books. Darling Marie Wallace charitably described Irene as a rather "fussy" woman.

I'm blocking on the name of the gracious lady who took over after Irene left, but she came to one of Jonathan's readings in Long Island, and reminded him of that "Madison Avenue haircut" she used to give him, netting a big smile from him in response. I think there is a photo of her on the Dee Kearney's pages in Mr. Juggins' DS FAQ site.

That would be Edith Tilles, who also did the hair on NODS (which I'd completely forgotten about until I noticed her name the other day when I was looking up who'd been the hairdresser on HODS ;)).

Sabrina wasn't crazy she just had a nervous breakdown after seeing something her mind couldn't cope with at the time. :o

I was watching 'Play Misty For Me' and found it amusing that Donna Mill's hairdo reminded me so much of Roxanne's. I think that style was called the 'paper boy' haircut if memory serves me correctly.

And this is similar to what happened to Jenny. [spoiler]IIRC, she wasn't crazy to begin with, she only went mad after learning that her husband, Quentin, ran off with another woman.[/spoiler]

i quess but Sabrina [spoiler]doesn't try to kill people.[/spoiler] i think she just went into a catatonic state and came out of it sane and curable while jenny [spoiler]went into a psychotic state. i doubt having a husband ran off would make one break totally out of
reality maybe post partum depression would.[/spoiler] Jenny's problem seems more deep rooted than this and i doubt she is curable.

I beg to differ: with that face, voice and bod, Chris (Briscoe) could be wearing the Sabrina fright wig and still be hot! Hubba, hubba... lend me a comb... I'll take care of that odd strand of hair....

Title: Re: Worst Hair on DS?
Post by: BuzzH on September 26, 2006, 07:29:18 PM: Sabrina's, Bruno's, Julia's (until she grew it long near the end of the series, then it looked really nice), Carolyn's (when she ironed it later in the series), Maggie's blond wig, Petofi's, Barnabas' (those bangs were ridiculous looking-period! I always liked it when Jonathan got his hair cut and it was too short for the spikes), Vicki's in the beginning, w/that stupid extension. Can't think of anymore, but then, isn't this enough, LOL! ;)
