I'm seeing a ton of confidence in this photo. It's like they told the camera man, "we know we look good. Just take the photo already." This might be the most professional looking photo we've seen thus far. They have their pose down and everything.
These hairstyles might be a little odd now, but back in the day, these two were probably the coolest people in the whole school. There aren't many people who would be bold enough to pull off those haircuts, despite them being the cool haircuts of the time. Look at your haircut. Do you have the haircut that is in style right now? No? Why not? Don't you realize that you could be as cool as these two people were? They look like replicants from Blade Runner, or characters from the anime Cowboy Bebop.
