Mr. Blackwell's Worst: 30 Years Of Fashion Fiascos
by Mr. Blackwell with Vernon Patterson
This book is a great historical photo diary of celebrity hairstyles of the past
30 years. If you like Mr. Blackwell you will love his sarcastic, scathing comments
about some of the top celebrities of the past 30 years. If you dislike Mr.
Blackwell, this book is a great photo album of hairstyles from the past.
I bought the book for the express purpose of looking at all the unbelievable
hairstyles.
Bo Derek caused a major hair revolution with her corn rows. Mr. Blackwell
hated her corn rows and he called her look 1960s kitsch, clutter, ill fitting, and ill
advised. Mr. Blackwell stated that Bo "seemed to strive toward looking as
unglamorous as possible and the corn-row catastrophe of her hairstyle was more reminiscent
of shock statement than a fashion statement."
Mr. Blackwell also hated beautiful Brooke Shield's long gorgeous hair. He called
Brooke "a Halloween trick without a treat." Bernadette Peters was famous
for her beautiful curled hair. Mr. Blackwell tagged her "as a kinked and curled
kewpie doll on a hayride."
Never mind Mr. Blackwell. This is a great hair book. The book starts
with 1960 and photos of big haired Shelly Winters, Kim Novak and Anne Baxter. 1961
has a great hair photo of Connie Stevens with a 1961 curly do. This great book
covers 30 years of classic hairstyles. I could not put it down.
This book is out of print and may or may not be had from Amazon.com. I
snagged the book after just a few seconds of flipping through all the great hair photos
over the past 30 years. I could not believe the classic teased and sprayed big curly
do on Sandra Dee on page 19. It looks very 1963ish. Brigitte Bardot looks
great with straight long blonde hair on page 25. It is hard to believe that the
photo was taken in 1965. Her hair certainly has changed over the years.
If you can get your hands on this book I strongly recommend it. If you are
a hair buff, this book will delight you.
