Sue, for all of her loveliness has made several really poor decisions when it comes to her hair. Should we mock her for them? Yes, yes we should. She must be horribly embarrassed when she opens her photo album and finds these… (Note: I did the best I could finding good pictures of them)
I am not sure what to even call this one.

Is that Hair or a motorcycle helmet?

Remember that hair cut Rosie O’Donnell got right after she came out? Sue had it first. (What is really funny is that Johnny had almost the exact same hair cut at the time.)

And finally Sue has a rather practical Mullet, Joe Dirt would be proud.

Each hair style you've shown was popular at the time. The mullet was very popular in the mid-80's. The 80's were about teased hair & mullets.

Are you going to make fun of your own hair style 10 years from now? Popularity is a very fickle thing. It's comes & goes like the sun, except the style is always changing.
My Mom had a beehive hairdo like Sue Storm had in the 60's. The beehive was very popular from the 60's to the mid-70's.

Yes. Yes I will. I know my hair from ten to fifteen years ago (a weird fishbowl thing that looked like Moe from Three Stooges) was atrocious. And I know my shoulder length dyed black hair from like a month ago will look pretty ridiculous sooner or later.
If you can't admit that you look hilariously stupid in dated fashion and trends then you need to reflect on your sense of humor.

But I don't find Sue Storm's hair style funny. She--like everything else in comics--reflects the fashion trends of the times.
Dazzler was introduced when the media was saturated in disco. This is no different.

Remember when John Byrne ran a contest in the letters page for fans to create a new hairstyle for Sue? Half the fans wanted to give her a Mohawk! :eek:

Oh stop being such a fuddy-duddy, DDM :) Even Madonna can look back on her old do's and laugh at herself. I sure your mom probably chuckles when she looks back on old pictures too.
These are hilarious, EmmaFrost! I think the mullet thingy takes the cake because it wasn't fashionable for a hetero-woman to wear even then.

That's one thing about Sue that artists wasn't scared of doing and that's changing her hair. She had so many hair styles from long to short. She really doesn't have a definite look to her but blonde hair. Wasp's hair is always short, Jean's hair hasn't changed in 20 years, Wanda's hair hasn't changed in 30, etc. The only other person that come close would be Storm but she always come back to the long flowing hair.

Almost everyone had a mullet in 1985--not just the "trailer park" people. If it was not a mullet, the hair was teased with enough hairspray to hold back water.

Isn't that a regional thing? I was living in suburban Minnesota in 1985, and I think I could say 'Almost everyone had a snowmobile in 1985.'. And while that is an exaggeration, they were pretty popular. Yet I doubt most readers here would agree with that statement.
Uhh, I was in high school in '85, and there were a few mullets, but to say "Almost everyone" had one is completely absurd. Maybe where you lived, I'm up here in the midwest, and you live south of ... somewhere (per your profile). I don't think dazzler_slave went too far with playin' with the perception that mullets were more popular with 'the trailer park crowd'. In my experience, there was some truth to that... and while I have no 'hard facts' to back it up, I think a lot of people see the humor and don't find this type of generalization to be mean-spirited or even judgemental for that matter (except it is and has always been a 'bad look'). No crime in living in a trailer park, ya know... and I think 'Public Mullet Exhibition' is only a misdemeanor 'round these here parts... ;)

John Byrne lives somewhere in East here in America. I don't think he would give Sue Storm a mullet because of his affection for the South. In '85, mullets & teased hair was indeed everywhere.
Harold of the Rocks

but saying mullets were everywhere might be an overstatement. And I think my previous sentence was an understatement. I don't care where the creators lived, they aren't the ones who said "Almost everyone had a mullet in 1985". It's one character's hairstyle we are talking about here. And I don't believe every comic book character had a mullet, either. So if mullets were everywhere, why weren't all the characters drawn with them?
I'm gonna side with crystalline green here... let your 'hair down' and give us a little fun... let's see a scan of Sue with the mohawk!! Please!!

To start off, let’s look at Sue with a Mohawk. Sure she might be a loving mother and devoted wife, but that does not mean she can’t be a punk as well.
http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/7953/picturecc5.jpg
Not only can she pull off a truly atrocious hippy scarf, but she can also make her hair all pointy. She must have put a hole in the ozone layer to pull that off.

Look whose go a Farrah do! Don’t you wish you had one too?

Not only did she cut it all off with a weed whacker, but she apparently took to putting gel in it.

John Byrne is EVIL because he's opinionated? In that case, the whole half of the Earth may split in half simply because everyone has an opinion.

So, not naming names or anything, but I think a certain someone here needs to consider three strong possibilities: either they need to lighten up, or work on their sense of humor, or admit they themselves have a mullet and are extremely self-conscious about it.

The New Thought Police want to punish people for the thoughts & words. Never mind, they have not committed any true crimes. The New Thought Police wants to shut down divergent thoughts that don't follow theirs. It's hardly censorship, but more political correctness gone out-of-control. Communists have true Thought Police (Cuba, China, North Korea), but the punishment is far more dire leading to torture, death, or prison in extermination camps. Thought Police are real.

All that may be true, but i think branding someone who makes disparaging comments about a particular race a racist is hardly Thought Policing. Whilst i wouldn't call him a racist myself, his comments are highly offensive and insensitive, and rather uncalled for. Thus its not exactly a great stretch to call him a racist. And if you think racism is ok because its just "divergent thought", and that it shouldnt be highlighted because that would be Thought Policing, then you are just wrong.

im pretty sure it was this bit
"Hispanic and Latino women with blond hair look like hookers to me."
Whilst i dont think its racist, because he does go on to say that he thinks they look great with dark hair, it was a very badly chosen way to phrase it.
And the thread was going fine til someone brought up Byrne being a racist and DDM's complete sense of humour break down.

I always thought Sue's mullet was bizzare, it was never a popular look for women. Yes women had/ have them but it was usually the trailer park or butch variety. I can't think of a single female celebrity of the 80's who had a mullet. Big hair & lots of hair spray for females was the big thing. Even for famous 80's men mullets were few and far between.
Also, I don't find JB's comments racist, blond hair on dark or tan skinned people can look harsh (though I think Alba looks good).

What are you talking about man? Ridiculously oversized guns and jackets with tons of pouches are friggin' awesome, everyone needs 'em. Sue needs a bit more action in the shoulder pad area though. And Thing should be half rock, half cyborg. But other than that TOTALLY SWEET.
