In its heyday, mod was known as a fashion-obsessed and hedonistic culture of young adults in metropolitan London. Mod is a British youth subculture of the early to mid-1960s and was briefly revived in later decades. Focused on music and fashion, the subculture has its roots in a small group of London-based stylish young men in the late 1950s who were termed modernists because they listened to modern jazz. Significant elements of the mod subculture include fashion (often tailor-made suits); music (including soul, ska, and R&B); and motor scooters (usually Lambretta or Vespa). The original mod scene was associated with amphetamine-fueled all-night dancing at clubs. Read More on the MODS Mod Fashions on Pinterest Amazon.com Widgets
I was going to make this post about big, teased-up hair and how they should bring it back. Then I remembered how many times in the near past people have tried to bring big hair back. Most of the time, IMO, very poorly. The only two I can think of who were really able to pull it off in “modern times” were Michelle Mae (when she was in The Make-Up) and, of course, Amy Winehouse. Other than those two, it’s a look that looks kind of forced on everyone else. That being said, I had a good time finding photos of big ol’ hair from the 1960s and a few from the early-‘70s. As they say, “The higher the hair, the closer to God.” I believe that with a few of these towering backcombed coiffs.

Sefjan Stevens - Chicago Pop Art Fantasy Roy Lichtenstein WHEN SHE entered young professor Lovelock's life, everything changed for him. "I want to kiss you!" the love-sick scientist kept thinking all day log, letting his kenetic-molecular hypothesis go hang. No Wonder! She contoured her mouth - alluringly, lusciously - with one of the new wild colors: Mauve, Red, Orange or Cocoa, applying a coat of clear yellow or white opal for highlight only to the lower lip! Naturally, the doomed young scientist gave up his search for the ultimate particle and became the slave forever of wild, wild, Dorothy Gray!!
