Ha ha! I had that haircut, it looked like a big triangle.

I actually was at a discount store the other day and saw a bottle of Agree shampoo. Does anyone remember that? It made me think about all the beauty products I was obsessed with back then! Impulse body sprays, Mink Hairspray, Jovan Musk, Baby Soft, and those lipsticks that were bright green or orange in the tube, but would "magically turn into your best color" when applied. They were a bitch to get off and always turned bright fuchsia on me! Also...Primo, Colors De Benneton, Liz Claiborne in the triangle shaped bottle, and who can forget Poison! My neighbor bathed in it.
