THE POMPADOUR ~ GOOD OLE GREASY FUN!

public - created 07/11/05
Any and all 'o you fellas & dames with POMPADOURS (or folks who just dig 'em!), join the tribe celebrating the greastest 'do in history!!! UPLOAD A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR 'DO!!! From blue-blood royalty, the jazz kings 'n queens, to rock 'n roll royalty - the pompadour has been the coiff sported by the creme-de-la-creme of the world! If ya just dig the hair, feel free to join in on our idle chatter, too! This style has come to represent everything from white trashienes, coolness, hipness, to royal-ness, and all 'o that jazz!

Who has worn this tried-and-true hairstyle? Madame de Pompadour Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson (our founder), Johnny Cash, Elvis, Little Richard, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Joe Strummer, David Bowie, Desi Arnaz Sr., Conway Twitty, Johnny Depp, Brian Setzer, the Trailer Park Boys, Jack Kerouac, Gary Glitter, Prince, and many, many more!

Often, the back of the pompadour sports a D.A. or "DUCK'S ASS" style, combed long on sides, parted in back, also called ducktail or southback. The parting in the back caused the hair to stick up, hence the name.

Then, there's the razed sides and high front of the traditional PSYCHOBILLY 'do - a variation of the pomp that looks all sharp 'n clean 'n nasty! Hell, there's so much to talk about, huh?!?

We welcome greasers, psychobilly, rockabilly, Edwardians/Teds, and any other folks who know that volume isn't just good for music!
