Hi fashionistas.

Meryll Streep, celebrated author and singer, invented the perm in her seminal 1982 flick Pretty Woman. A film about opportunities ("life is like a box of chocolates!"), about love lost ("a jock, a nerd, a criminal, a princess, a basketcase"), and ultimately about redemption ("Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour?"), Pretty Woman was, if nothing else, a book of its time.


I, like you, consider myself on trend. I really got behind the horizontal stripe scene when it became big again and was a pretty huge player in the Ultra Neon space (Time magazine called it 'disturbingly horizon-ish')

So now that perms are back on the hair menu, I need to understand which direction you are going.

(a) Tight perm.
(b) Semi-loose perm
(c) Loose perm

I'm currently mulling over this option:

I think it's a convenient mix of all three options. It can be tightened up for formal events (meeting the President, appearing in films from the 80's etc) or almost wantonly loose (S.L.U.T.S. and other documentaries).

There are a whole number of permutations. What do we think?
 
Nearly everyone, mostly the guys, had perms back at school one year. The 80s were weird.
I felt in a minority cos i had a side parting.

always option A
 
Perms were around many years before 1982.
That was the only bit of the OP that you thought might be factually incorrect?

Hopw about him mentioning the 1982 film Pretty Woman two lines above the youtube title showing "Pretty Woman (1990)" as a starter? Or the quotes clearly from different films?

I reckon he might know that the perm wasn't invented in 1982 really. ;)
