In Soviet Russia, Hair Cut You
My shallow but sincere reaction to this still from 1972’s Solaris (in New York’s Avatar-bandwagon, but still geeky fun, piece): what were Communist haircuts like? When did the U.S.S.R. get blow dryers? Did they have hairspray? Mousse? Really. In the 80s did they suffer from perms and shortages?
For all the billions of dollars and rubles we spent arming ourselves, how little we know of daily life that is passing out of memory into history.
