Hair today gone tomorrow Remember when the question, “Is it a boy or a girl?” only pertained to infants? In this generation of changing traditions, gender distinctions often become ques- tionable. Boys are now wearing long hair, while girls try to see how short their hair can be cut. Styles have become extreme and unique, expressing individuality at it’s best. There are no set styles. Each person has his own flair and often tries to “outdo” another. The 80s are full of styles all their own. Vickie Bender has an elegant look. Todd Robertson has the ruffled look. Showing off her curls is Kim Nickolite. 20 Student Life
