No need to search the web for bowl cuts because I had my very own compliments of my Korean mother. I rocked this look until about 4th grade until I was forced to get a perm that haunted me until by early teens. I blame a lot of my friendless childhood on these 2 hairstyles.

NOSTALGIA BOWLCUT: What exactly is the bowlcut style that inspires writers? Perhaps this one? See the sensitive gaze at such a young bowlcut age. See the sepia patina that is real developed film. Feel the love between two young immigrants family children. Read the book “I Love Yous Are For White People”.

(Original) circa 1980, Hollywood, CA. Lac Su and sister.

As a young child, Lac Su made a harrowing escape from the Communists in Vietnam. With a price on his father’s head, Lac, with his family, was forced to immigrate in 1979 to seedy West Los Angeles where squalid living conditions and a cultural fabric that refused to thread them in effectively squashed their American Dream. Lac’s search for love and acceptance amid poverty—not to mention the psychological turmoil created by a harsh and unrelenting father—turned his young life into a comedy of errors and led him to a dangerous gang experience that threatened to tear his life apart.

Heart-wrenching, irreverent, and ultimately uplifting, I Love Yous Are for White People is memoir at its most affecting, depicting the struggles that countless individuals have faced in their quest to belong and that even more have endured in pursuit of a father’s fleeting affection.
