Is Disco back?

According to what I see on the magazine racks disco is back with a vengeance. All the fashion books are writing lots of articles about the return to what some of us want to leave behind . Eyeliner by the gallon, lots of mascara jacking those lashes to the sky. Eye shadows with sparkle and shine. The hair what can I say... Chop it up, spike it up than spray the hell out of it. Have you been watching any of the music videos lately? Many of the artists of today have embraced that disco chic look such as Katy Perry. As a hairdresser we have to be always watching the changing trends. In my case it will be a repeat of my youth. Thank God I made it through the disco era intact. That's actually when I started my career in hair styling. I was in the center of New York State, Syracuse not exactly the center of the disco revolution. I was working with some of the trend setters of that time. Sam, and Kevin, Jan, Patty, Terri, Pam, Mark, and a man far ahead of his time Joe (the stud) Burke. Joe was not the best hair cutter, but he had his finger on the pulse of trend. He left his crew to execute the best in central New York hairstyling.. Sam was actually one of my favorite hair cutters. Joe's shop was the first of its kind church pews for seating. Make up chairs used as styling chairs, with the smell of burning incense always lingering along with the cherry favored shampoo to fill every inch of breathable air. The music kept that shop moving, the hottest tunes brought back from NYC. Enough of the reminiscing for now I have a lot more of great memories I will share those some other time. But for now I wanted to tell you that if you go to your own hairstylist or if your one of my clients. Be ready for some of those disco flashbacks to be offered up as an option for that perfect new look. Final note I feel it's to bad that Betty Baldwin wasn't still designing fashion masterpieces from those disco days. Her creativity with fabrics and design were as good or better than today's designers. She would have kicked Betsey Johnson's butt and hung her out to dry by her orange hair. Betty made you look and feel like a queen in one of her original outfits.
