Victorian and Edwardian. I can see some early/mid-Victorian hairstyles not being very flattering, but Edwardian seem fine to me.

Our space program, and the Soviets, was a lot more than just going to the moon.

[Grey Fox]

Yes. Looks like a crypto dude bro.

[Tamas]

That's a certified douchebag look.

Why is the BBC article in pidgin?
