THE POMPADOUR ~ GOOD OLE GREASY FUN!public - created 07/11/05 |
|
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!
