Trend Alert: Big Hair Playing with proportions is key in fashion this season. Not content with puff sleeves or ra ra skirts, designers have taken it to the max this autumn—just think of the Bernard Chandran dress Estelle wore at the MTV Europe Awards last week. If you want an inexpensive route to fashionista status volume is also all the rage as far as hair is concerned.

Beauty Flashback: Baby Dolly Surprise Beauty Flashback: Baby Dolly Surprise Does anyone else remember Baby Dolly Surprise? It had slipped my mind, but running across this old commercial brought back memories of wanting the doll. You could make her hair "grow" and retract by yanking on her arm.

Ka-blam! I am so into this bizarre commercial, which jumps from hawking shampoo to pushing deodorant. But blondes and redheads might not want to watch.

Beauty Flashback: Hair Wiz

Commercials used to be so quaint and straightforward, as evidenced by this 1974 commercial for Hair Wiz. An earnest salesman extols the virtues of this "precision cutting tool" while mom defuzzes the males of her family. Apparently filmed on location at the Brady Bunch kitchen, this spot gets me giggling every time.

I love the overacting in this commercial for My Sweet 16 cosmetics. The girl in it is so clearly trying to be enthusiastic for the camera, showing off the blue lipstick — oops, wait, that's eye shadow! — and putting pressure on herself to look like big sis and friends.
