did you like his 1988 look?
Yes, except for that dreaded wig...Ay yi yi. I was always partial to his real long thin hair he had in the LIU video. The guy had a great face and maybe those wigs just covered up too much of it for me.
Having had the big 80s hair myself (Hello, Aqua Net!), maybe he started wearing the wig to look more like all the other hair/glam bands.
That being said, he really should have burned those wigs about 20 years ago. That mug shot look was not a good one. Of course, had I been locked in my house avoiding the police for hours until the SWAT team arrived and "escorted" me out of my home, I'm sure I wouldn't be looking my best, either.
Are there any candid shots of him in the past 10 years around anywhere? Google only gave me back pictures from the KISS/VVI days and that mugshot. I would think as often as he sues KISS, there would have been pictures of him appearing in court for at least one of those cases (especially when he's represented himself), but no luck there, either, on Google.
I wonder if he's hypersensitive about his appearance now as compared to back in his heyday. I think had he not been so reclusive the past 20 years and maintained somewhat of a public persona, we would have seen him age naturally with the rest of us and it wouldn't be such a visual shock to see his current appearance as compared to his 80s look. I mean, Gene Simmons has definitely had time march on all over his face as well, but because he's been in the public eye the entire time, it just seems like a natural occurrence.

Vinnie more than one look, yes, which could get confusing but it was a sign of the times I guess you could say.
I like his more toned down look though you couldn't tell from my Avatar, I like that particular picture.
Thank you, Genebaby!
I'll always be partial to his more understated LIU look. I understand why he adopted the wigged and made up look after KISS...I just didn't particularly care for it on VV. I loved it on, say, Motley Crue (80s Vince Neal was all sorts of gorgeous), but I always thought VV looked better in his more natural state.
I'd love to see what he really looks like now without that fright wig and without having been barricaded in his house for hours avoiding the cops. Just a natural "Vinnie on the street" picture.
