The Way We Were: Retro Black Hairstyles

Dodai — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:00:00 EST

Earlier this month, we decided to celebrate Black History Month (and the dearth of black models during Fashion Week) by asking for your best — and worst — black hairstyles. 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.)

It's been said before but Life & Style says it again: Britney Spears sure has changed since she first hit the scene! Physically changed, specifically in the nose, breast and waist areas. Nose jobs? Implants? Tummy tucks? Yes, yes and yes, according to the mag. Click on the tag to see some of her "looks."

In a super short item titled "What If There Were No Stylists?" the L.A. Times reminds us of what Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton looked like in 2002 B.S. (before stylists). Memories... Like the corners of my mind... [L.A.Times]
