Big Hair/Inspirational LP

I think her name may be Mary Mills. I loved this cover in that it says nothing about it’s contents.

Wow, looks like Mary has a bunt cake and a few sweet rolls stashed in her hair. Like someone heated her up and Jiffy Pop exploded out of her head.

Not only do I love that there’s absolutely no text on the LP cover – okay maybe for Madonna or Beyonc√© or someone at that level but not for the turtlenecked bakery-goods-haired Mary – but I also marvel at how off-center it is.

OMG. I think one of her children are hiding up in that hair!

Her hair looks like it would completely fill one of those airline stewardess bubble things.

Your comment really made me laugh Mel! Those hats are absolutely amazing and I think your right. Emilio Pucci was inspired by the big hair of the era. He wanted to fill those bubbles!

Remember the urban myth about the lady that has a black widow spider living in her hair? Seems like that hair of hers is part of the “inspiration” there…
