Help Educate an Old Guy
Upon becoming a member of this site I have become accutely aware of a "look" or "style" shared by many ladies who are also members here. It includes:
I noticed this same "look" on the cover of a few "alternative" magazines in a local store. The work of Albero Vargas comes to mind. So- what is it all about? Does it have a name? Give an old, completely-out-of-touch guy a clue. Many thanks in advance! 8 comments from 5 users

Hey I just wanted to say you're not the only gay man in Bakersfield. I just saw another one at the mall so there is at least TWO of you. (hahahah... ) Just kidding. anyways... I have also noticed that style and was curious what it was called. I think of it as a "pin-up model" type of look. Didn't know it was called rockabilly. Interesting. Good to know! posted by

Rockabilly is a style for men and women, as well as music too. It's a whole way of life for some. They have a festival every year in CA somewhere, called the Hootnanny (sp?) It's a mix of pin up types for the women and greaser types for the guys. posted by

i love the style sooo much. it got popular in the late 90's I'd say. with big bad voodoo daddy. I mean there has always been rockabilly's but just more came in the 90's I love the hair i love the clothes, i love the tattoos, i love the music , the cars.i love it all. There's nothing more fun that dressing up and going to a social distortion , lol and getting drunk.

I think the whole rockabilly subculture sort of made its comeback in the early 80s, actually! But yes, the style does seem to be pretty popular in Bakersfield. I do the 40's style hair and the flower thing a lot, but I have zero tattoos and the boring "standard" ear piercings... I don't think I qualify ;D posted by

SamG you are as I've said before unique, you create your own style. Hootananny reminds me of the old days of folk muisc. I've always loved the look and style of the 30's and 40's have seen I was a teen in the 70's. A little while before it became popular. But if it's good it never goes way. posted by
