On a serious note, have any of my US friends noticed how thick ol Washingtons neck has gotten on the newer quarters? Got rid of his braid too.

        Haha, oh man, back when I was a kid (around the time of the Russian Revolution), getting a perm would have been social sepukku.

        My grandma had a perm, for instance, and slept with rollers in.

        That said, this gif is painfully accurate

            People need to realise not liking something just means it’s not meant for you. Always loved emo and scene, always will.

          I remember an ad from maybe 15 years ago that had a guy saying to another person “get a perm” and the joke was that it was obviously terrible advice…

          Now they’re coming back

            I have a hunch it is a steam powered train you are talking to. They last long as long as you repair and oil parts regularly

          My dad has a perm in my parents wedding photos from the 80s. He looks goofy but Jnco jeans were popular when I was a teenager so I can’t really say shit.
