What does ObFolk: stand for?

You guys are forgetting Louie the 14th and all of the men of his time (at least those who could afford to be pouffy). And then there are all of the intricately waxed moustaches and beards of the men of the Civil War and Victorian eras. Face it... throughout history, men have been a bunch of peacocks. They may have had a recent, brief period of being slobs, but they're just reverting back to type now.

Most of the men I know these days wear hair spray or mousse instead of the ornate wigs of the eighteenth century, but a 'do is a 'do no matter what you call it.

('do = hairdo... coiffure)
