Back in 1985 I bought a book called "Wild Style". I was 19 at the time and this book changed my life, basically.
This is where I first heard about hair extensions.
This chick Lara in NYC, is absolutely STUNNING is in this book and I aspired to be her.
It was at a shop in NYC called Girl Loves Boy on Thompson street that it started in NYC.
Later down the road I ended up working at a shop owned by the partner of the initial Thompson St. shop. Funny how things happen.
I also ended up being the stylist to the guy on the left with the big hair. Tommy Gunn. He used to promote rock shows at the Cat Club back when rock was huge (late 80's early 90s)
I scanned the two pages that brought me to my knees way back when.
The image is kind of big (255kb) but I wanted the words to be visible also.
