Another person sported a newfangled flying-ace helmet with oversized goggles and plastic tubes cascading down the back, giving the effect of surreal tresses. Elsewhere, a fine handle-bar mustache topped a sculptural goatee. Wisps of hair were gelled into curls on a forehead. A long braid morphed suddenly from black to blond. There were bowl cuts, with a back-to-the-future allure.
