Beehive

The hairdo.

What were they thinking? Seriously, what was it about those that made people think they were a good thing? I understand when someone goes through a punk rock stage or a fun or freaky stage and they wear styles that are non traditional, but I don't understand when something like a beehive is not considered "wacky and fun" but mainstream and fashionable. Unless you're wearing a ball gown and/or a tiara, I don't get it.
