not before I post this:https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/30293_445145096056_4763708_n.jpg^^ my dad (and me) in 1973. We lived in a shared house, and all the adults were beautiful and had luxurious hair. So like BB, I grew up with a firm preference for long hair. I agree it needs to be looked after, though, and there's no way to make it look good once it really starts to thin.

Amazing picture, Zora!
Here is Papa Bell plus a pair of Baby Bells, also in 1973, also with lovely, long, luxuriant hair, which is how I believe all adult males should essentially be:

Gosh, I never knew ol' Dave was such a brooding beauty. My dad was not in the Floyd but he did roadie and play a bit of guitar for a prog rock band called, iirc, Death Kit II.
You look so happy there BB! I love your matching stripy shirts.
Any more ILX0rs got cool hairy dad pics?

Or we can start a separate thread for funky old parent pics if people are interested & want to keep this one on topic.

Thanks!
I think we have somewhere a "what did you used to look like?" thread for adorable baby pics and the like. I do like the idea of a "post pics of your parents in the 70s" thread but also wonder if it could lead to badness, coz, like, I haven't asked either father or brother if they're OK with their pics being posted here.

Pretty sure there is a "70s bros being bros" thread (NB that is not the real title), ENBB can answer bc I think there's a bunch of pics of her dad in it.

I wz one of those teenage boys who had long hair 'on principle' without paying attention whatsoever to how it looked.
hmm this is me except I'm not teenage or a boy and the only principle I have long hair on is that I was tired of being asked if I was a boy or a girl when I had short hair (which I also paid 0 attention to and was too plump-cheeked/square-faced to suit)
I was going to paste some long-haired former crushes but GIS kept also providing pics of them with short hair where they looked even hotter so my endorsement of their hair began to feel redundant

i grew up in a family that did outdoor drama every summer, and everyone in those had long hair and beards and looked awesome. we grew up with similar aesthetics, probs.

When the cold winter wind is blowing at just the right speed, a good long head of hair feels fucking amazing. Just stepped out on my back porch for a smoke and a beer and felt like a goddamned viking.

my hair is long(ish) for the first time since i was a teenager and i honestly just find it annoying. ive decided to get the top and sides trimmed down as those are the bits that annoy me. so i will have a mullet

Turns out if you let your hair get to shoulder length and get a bit dirty it's..good? You can just tuck it behind your ears and then everyone else has to deal with looking at it but you don't?

There are many routes to success. (Also looking back at Tombot in December there, I am glad he has fully seen the path to the light.)
