Lily Ho's Big Hair

This post goes out to Glenn, who recently confessed his fondness for Lily Ho's big hairstyles. Here's a little exhibit showing the year-by-year evolution of Lily's hair from 1966 to 1970. Personally, I have no problem with her 1966-67 look, which is pretty cute. And I even think her 1968 hairdo (featured in the sadly-unavailable-on-DVD The Brain Stealers) is kind of cool. But her hair from 1969-70 symbolizes for me the garish fashion excesses that developed around the turn of the decade, as well as the general pitfalls of big hair. What do you think?
