Drool all you want, boys. But keep in mind that those women are now in their late 60's to early 70's. Hahahahahahha!

Those beehive 'do's weren't very healthy for some. They got left up for extended periods due to the effort in redoing it. Just added more hairspray so no washing and anything that crawled in there could hide indefinitely. (shudder)

I have read elsewhere that they DID NOT wash them out after a week or two and could actually have a bee hive in their beehive.

I find it interesting that the contestants are not as "cookie cutter" Barbie-proportioned in shape as they seem to be today.
