I'll write more later, y'all. It's time to get ready for work. Hope everyone has a happy Friday!
ETA: So sorry to leave y'all hanging...
Here's the story: I met Gillette Man in 1993 in college. We dated and spent copious amounts of time together. We went to parties, walked around campus a lot, and talked endlessly. Well, you know how college is and how you can sort of drift in and out of people's lives. I think I saw him last in 1994 (?).
Enter the magic of Facebook (Crackbook). Mid-July I got a friend request from the Gillette Man. I posted the following that day: "Then I checked email and saw that one of my college friends has added me as a friend on Facebook. I just gasped out loud...I haven't seen/spoken to him in about 14 years. I was so in love/awe of him. He's very tall and was just gorgeous (my roommate used to call him the Gillette man), very proudly from Chicago with a thick accent and a brash, in-your-face personality. I was so crazy about him...he was like a rock star to me. Anyway, I've got to figure out my Facebook account. I've never actually logged in because it doesn't recognize my email. Who knows? Facebook support is working on it. I'll keep you posted."
Fast forward a couple of months and even though I am very late to the party, I am having so much fun with Facebook and Gillette Man is a pretty regular visitor to Lipstick-land.

Great hair! I sometimes wonder if I can still get my bangs up high. And if I still can master the art of making "wings" on the sides. You know?
Holy hair, Batman! Is that your husband? Cute!
I would of killed for that hair in '93. Seriously.
I LOVE the hair. I never quite mastered the big bangs, sadly.
Barbie and Ken!
what a gorgeous duo!
Sweet Niblets! Love the hair- brings back some memories! My mom was so mad at me because all the hairspray I used left a film all over the bathroom, and it would not come off! I used to use a hairspray called Awesome that smelled like watermelon.
So you're just gonna leave us with 80's hair and no explanation?
love love love it... break out the perm rods, moose and difuser!!!!!!
Ha! Were you a KD? My roommate was and I got to attend many a frat party because of her!
My hair pretty much looked like yours in '93, but brown. Rock the curly do!
I love old school pictures. You must fill us in on the deets. I have to know what kind of shin dig you were all fluffed up for!
