I was talking about the helmet pic I don't think that hairstyle ever went out of style, just take a walk around Tribeca, Park Slope, or the Village and it's still very much neon everywhere

Yes sir! Right now the fashion is very much bespoke and the bohemian look for those that don't care to take themselves too seriously Some things in life never go out of style! It's cool to see that there is a NYC crowd here!

Nice shot, figbo. That's a pretty salty 'stache you've got there, considering how "boot" those "fatigues" are.

My shot was taken on the last day of my Vietnamese language course at DLI-WC at the Presidio of Monterey and 5 days later I was in-country for the wake-up of my life.

I had to heavily crop this shot to make it legal and it's in pretty bad shape, but it's what I looked like six months after the the first one was taken.
