Someone should pshop modern haircuts onto this, because other than the hair and car this looks very contemporary.

I was in high school back then, that photo gave me flashbacks. We all thought we were so cool back then but those hairdos. Lots of teasing went on back in the 60s.

I'm in awe at the shape of the perfectly round hair. Blue Tank has that on lock.

Early 60’s, ‘63 +/- 1 year, I’d guess.

I’m sure there were plenty of fat people in the 60s, but damn….. every picture I look at it seems everyone was trim.

Replying to iwouldhugwonderwoman (#788,497)

Would have probably been a Liz or Beth at that era, Liz Taylor was in her prime, so most Elizabeth’s would have probably gone with Liz… Betty from the Flintstones came out in 1960, so she too was a tribute to the generation just before this one.
