And the submissions uh, trickled in. Meaning we barely got any. Seriously, don't black women read this blog? Also, we specifically stated: "Women of all ethnicities are encouraged to send in pictures of any and all Bo Derek-inspired cornrows they got during that cruise to the Caribbean in the fourth grade." Anyhoo, the photos we did receive are awesome. And we supplemented them with some great old ads from Essence and Ebony! As for March's Past Fashion category, we want your hideous/funny/over the top Easter outfits, so start ripping apart your old albums and send submissions to photos@jezebel.com. (Easter is in March this year.) Meanwhile: Ribbons, beads, Afro-puffs, cornrows and side ponytails, in a gallery after the jump.

(Click on any image to begin gallery view — and read accompanying, self-descriptive and explanatory captions!)

Hey! If you missed the deadline and have a pic you want added to this batch, send it to photos@jezebel.com and we can add it to the gallery. Be sure to write "Black Hairstyle" in the subject of the email. (And Easter shots for the March installment should have "Easter" in the subject line.)

What we're looking for this month: The best and worst hairstyles on our black female readers, whether from childhood or adulthood. (That's one of our readers' submissions, at left. Love. It!) Don't have anything to offer? Send this notice onto someone who might...or does. We'll be putting up the post at the end of the month, as well as announcing the theme for the March edition of the feature. Those who desire to remain "anonymous" (i.e. have their facial features blurred out) are welcome to say so. Send submissions to photos@jezebel.com with the title "Past Fashion" in the subject header.
