Blast from the Past! Greg Brady!

Here's the story of a guy named Brady, who grew up with a full head of curls.
He was loved everywhere he went, and he always had plenty of girls.

Then one day this fellow started seeing, his hair line was fading away.
He tried hair pieces, combing and hats, but nothing made it change.
And that's the way he became a post on my paggge!



Here you can see his hairline receding on the sides. This picture is from a few years back.




In the below one, the hair line does not look natural...

Blast from the Past: Robin Gibbs of Bee Gees

He had a great head of hair back in the day. Distracts from the rest of him. Here are some of his more recent hair pieces:










Whatever animal that hair piece is made of is definitely not Stayin' Alive. Here's what his hair line really looks like:

Blast from the Past: Paul Reubens!

Paul Reubens is better known as the guy who paid Pee Wee Herman. After his November 2002 arrest for misdemeanor possession of kiddie porn, we don't have to ask how he came up with the name Pee Wee. But in the last few years, pee wee refers to his hair line.

One Limp Bizkit Indeed

Remember when Fred Durst was in the spotlight? When somehow girls let him touch them? When a record company somehow approved and promoted an album Fred named "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water"? Well he's 38 now, and he finally has given up all the backwards baseball caps and become an out and proud baldie. Funny thing is, he actually looks better now than he did before. Who knew I would ever give Fred Durst a compliment!

Blast from the Past: Boy George

Oh Boy!










My guess is his hair loss is a result of a combination of genetics and all the extensions/chemicals/etc. he put in his hair through the years. And quite possibly all the drugs he has done have had an effect on how he looks today. Here's Boy George now:





It's too bad - because he had some awesome hair back in the 80's...

Blast from way past! Pat Boone

Pat Boone is a recording artist, dj, actor, who is most famous for the music he made in the 50's. According to Billboard, Boone was the second biggest charting artist of the late 1950s, behind only Elvis Presley.





He had a beautiful head of hair back in the day. Guess it is gone now. Here's a clip of Pat losing his toupee as he demonstrates his imitation of Will Rogers' rope tricks.

Blast from the Past: M.C. Hammer

M.C. Hammer's hair is not too legit to quit!




I know I know, you are probably thinking, I blocked this guy and everything he brought with him (balloon pants, funky hair styles, hand motion dancing) and now you are bringing him up again! Yes, yes I am. Since we last saw Hammer a lot has happened. He has lost his entourage. He lost his money. He now does commercials with Ed McMahon encouraging us to trade our gold for cash. And on top of all that he is hiding his receding hairline by shaving his head.




Why do all the bald musicians think the bandanna is going to make things better? Maybe we should consult with Bret Michaels on that one.





Can't touch this is right - can't touch what is not there!

Blast from the Past: Luke Perry!

Luckily my television/movie watching obsession has given me plenty of fodder for this blog. The other day I caught a rerun of a Law and Order: SVU episode with Luke Perry as the guest star. Sara Gilbert (from Roseanne) also guested in the episode that fans have dubbed "ghosts of television's past" and "90's flashback week."

He's definitely lost some of his Dylan McKay-ness as the years have gone by. The big part of what made Dylan McKay, well, Dylan McKay, was the hair. Which is now slowly receding. Oh well, he still has the furrowed eyebrow look to get him by.

Blast from the Past: Billy Zane!

Here's a vet of the business, Billy Zane. I'd say his most well-known role was as Kate Winslet's fiance Cal in Titanic. But this guy has been in the biz since the 80's. On imdb.com he has almost 100 different projects to his credits (although many of these I haven't heard of - gems like Taxman, God is in the TV, Starving Hysterical Naked, The Pleasure Drivers). Well, today I was catching up on episodes of the recently canceled Samantha Who? and thought the guy who played her boss looked a lot like Billy. Turns out it was Billy, minus those great locks he had back in the day...

Blast from the Past: Ethan Embry

This guy used to show up in all 90's teen flicks, Empire Records, Disturbing Behavior, That Thing You Do!, and most memorably as Preston in Can't Hardly Wait.





I was watching Vacancy a few weeks ago and thought the guy who played the Mechanic looked familiar. Turns out it is Ethan Embry. Minus a few hair follicles.
