Ah, the 1970s – a decade when grooming, coiffure, bodily hygiene and so forth was no longer the preserve of women.
These – plastered to the walls of male hair salons everywhere – were the overgrown, overblown now-try-it-on-your-own styles that men aspired to.
May we never see their like again.

A very charming, slightly spooky weekly YouTube series created by Brooklyn puppeteer Jacob Graham – a positive message of acceptance presented in retro style with modern references, filmed using the technology (cathode tube blur, white-outs, early synth music, etc.) of the1970s.
We love it.

From the Scarfolk Council blogspot. To wit:
Scarfolk is a town in North West England that did not progress beyond 1979. Instead, the entire decade of the 1970s loops ad infinitum. Here in Scarfolk, pagan rituals blend seamlessly with science; hauntology is a compulsory subject at school, and everyone must be in bed by 8pm because they are perpetually running a slight fever. “Visit Scarfolk today. Our number one priority is keeping rabies at bay”.
