OMG LJ, you were so Jason Donovan (thats Kylie Minogue with her 80's hair too)

Okay...true story...supposedly. But given who it happened to, I totally believe it.

Winter of 1990...at the time, all my friends and I were in 8th grade. It was the peak of the big hair days...grunge and flannel were creeping up on the horizon. Anyway, at the time, we all used to go to these mixers on Friday nights at the Carpenters' Union Hall. $5 for all you can drink soda, dancing and deer hunting.

So my friend Rachel is getting ready one Friday. She was already dressed for the night, but she wanted to eat something before she went. She went into her pantry to get a can of ravioli. She then turned on one of the gas burners on her stove...nothing doing. So she went to get a long match to reignite it, as the pilot light was still lit. Well, she put a lot of Aqua Net in her hair that night, and she leaned over the store to light the burner, which was in lighting mode...

WHOOSH! Singed her bangs off. Fortunately, she sustained no other injuries. Pretty fucking funny though...we didn't let her live it down the rest of the school year.

Meh - happened to me (although I have an excuse)

I was playing Mustardseed in the school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1985. We had all day dress rehearsal and the 6th form Art Students (18 years old to my 12) tried out full hair and make-up on me. As it was in modern dress, we were supposed to be punks, but it really just involved blue/ purple/ silver face paint, back-combed hair and lots of spray-in colour (same palette range)

I went home for family dinner in the evening - a special occasion I remember - and leaned across the table, only to catch my hair on one of the candles. Well it stuck out further than I was used to!

I do have a picture of us on the opening night - sans flame - but as I said earlier - no scanner

I don't have a color scanner here at work, so I used my digital camera. I did so - so.

I was 19yrs old - 1986 - "several" pounds lighter. And at that time I really liked blue eyeshadow.
