- It's such much fun to take a long stroll down memory lane. I loved that psychedelic stuff created by Retro Loco and the music selections of the 60's and 70's. My father has one of the vintage radios featured in this lens. Way to go, Vicki!! Best of luck with all your projects and don't even think about cutting your luscious hair...

- A real blast from the past and lots of great finds (I really wish I could redo my kitchen turning it into a 60s diner, but it would totally clash with just about everything else...)

- I just love what you did here and enjoyed the journey down memory lane. The complete RetroLoc look is fabulous. *Squid Angel Blessed* and I've added your link to My Squid Angel Wings to be featured in the "Culture & Society ยป The Decades & Nostalgia" neighborhood. Brand new module just for you. LOL. The only thing I would suggest is to correct the Into here to the Guestbook. We no longer have "Favorites" or "Lensroll". Sadly those two programs have been dropped.

- Ah, thank you so much for this blast from the past! I just love those retro dinette sets with a passion! And everything I saw in this page spoke to me so much, although I was born in the 60s and have very few memories from old stuff.
Blessed.

Sprinkled in introductions and throughout the book are interesting facts about the history of hairstyling, origins of styles, and information about starlets and performers who made the styles popular.
