An old black and white video of three women parading on a beach in their old-fashioned bathing suits is shown, with the caption reading Big Bathing Suits 1946. A man with curly hair and sideburns that attach to his sweet mustasche, is flipping through a hairstyle photo book, looking at pictures of men with big sideburns, mustaches and long hair with the caption reading Big Sideburns 1980. A blonde haired woman in a colorful dress is sitting in a cubicle at her desk, talking on the phone, working at her giant desktop computer is shown. The caption reads Big Computer 1983.
