I had a flashback today to those hair bobbles that used to be really popular in the 1980s. They had little plastic balls on each end and a metal bracket in the middle which separated the elastic so that you had to wrap it around your hair and then twist the balls around each other to secure.
I hated them because they never seemed to work as promised, and were the worst thing when you needed to quickly put in a ponytail. And they were just everywhere, until one day they weren’t. It’s funny how a thing that you consider to be quite permanent like that will one day simply disappear, and even if you hated it, you will still miss it.
I’ve been remembering the combs that were really popular for keeping hair back (instead of a barrette or an elastic) and how I loved using them and stacking them to match my outfit. I do the same as an adult, but with elastics, when my hair is long enough to put in a ponytail.
You mean banana clips?? I remember those. My mother used to wear them, but I could never make them work.
I never could get banana clips to work, either. These are the types of combs I used to stack. Usually two or three, any kore than that and they’d start to fall out.
Do you remember stringy barrettes?
Oh, yes, I remember these now. They were satisfying sliding in, but they always fell back out again.

(4.15 min / Pilot / Gift of the Wheelman / A Hawk and A Handsaw / Dr Longball / Good for the Soul)
Benton talking about his dad. He really does love him so much. His voice keeps breaking.
Reblogging for the a Hawk and a Handsaw rewatch!
Bob Fraser is very much #1 dad obviously. But he’s Benton’s father. His only father. What he’s trying to say is… “I never loved anyone as much as I loved you. And I could never, ever, say it.”
Ken Pogue was a national treasure. Loved him as Major Clack in Adderly.
