Recently, Irish born, lanky, long haired, unreconstructed rock fan, and VICE staffer Rockwell SF came over all Anna Wintour and decided he wanted VICE’s fashion department to shoot girls with big hair. You know the style; teased, backcombed, and way bigger than your actual head hair, like the sort of girls Beavis and Butthead used to cream themselves over. Think of this blog as Jim’ll Fix It, only with 80s metal erections.

Rocky’s rant in full: “”Shell suits, BMXs, high-tops, leggings, stilettos, stone-washed denim, metal shirts, even fucking bum-bags have come back. But I miss big hair everyday. When will it return? I love it like nothing else, I pine for it. Why are kids walking round like retarded gymnasts from the opening of Weird Science but with straightened, paper thin, fried looking hair? Sorry girls, but that shit is more played than your Friends box-set. Sometimes I walk out the door and I’m like, ‘Today’s the day, today’s the day’ but alas, I never see the big-haired women of my dreams. All women would look better with big hair. They’d look like Gloria Estefan or Sabrina. Check out the promo for ‘Boys Boys Boys.’, Sabrina’s nipples kick the shit out of every chick in fake spectacles walking round London.

“Lita Ford’s the all time classic big hair pin up though, she had massive hair, wore fishnets, lots of tight black leather and sung in that raspy, sore throat voice those eighties chicks had. Big hair’s appeal is pretty much down to “yowser”; a hybrid of amazing and exciting. See, big hair brought these girls to life and people seem readier for sex when they wear shit tighter, shorter and smaller – Yowser!”
