billy’s room part one: the vanity

i have spent far too long looking at pics of billy’s room, specifically his makeshift vanity, so here, have a post of stuff billy has on his vanity. and if anyone wants, i can do one on the rest of his room at some point?

so, in addition to the pump action aqua net hairspray we see him use, he has:

alberto mousse—this advertisement is from 1985 as was the commercial i found

breckset setting lotion—i can’t find much info on this brand but, for those who don’t know, setting lotion is what you use when you curl your hair which means, if you want, you can totally write about billy in curlers. @goodmorninghawkins has kindly provided an image of what that might look like…

i love the idea of this ridiculous boy curling his hair

and an aerosol can i’m assuming is also hairspray because it looks like the old aqua net cans. there’s no close-up of it like there are with the other products but i’m reasonably sure it’s more aqua net. you can see the lid of this can in the first two images, bottom right (by billy’s hand in the second one)

i can’t find this exact non-aerosol/pump action aqua net anywhere but it’s the same one used by kali and eleven in S02E07.

but the plastic crate is on a wooden crate and then there’s that case on top of the plastic crate. i didn’t bother going through the other stuff he has on his vanity, but i know there’s that copy of my life and hard times by james thurber, which is sitting on top of something (that you can see above) and there’s one or two cassettes as well as his zippo. i was mostly interested in his ~beauty products.

after all that, i could have saved myself a few hours of googling if i’d just found this post, last night! oh well!

so in the shot above the read more we can see the poster of shauna grant on his closet (identified in this post—shoutout to @flippyspoon and @introvertia who came to my rescue when i couldn’t remember her name!), the makeshift vanity, his stereo in front of the window, a poster for metallica’s kill ‘em all (their first album from 1983) and the corner of his bedthere is another picture above his bed to the right of the metallica poster. maybe someone can identify it from this tiny glimpse, but i can’t!

(as an aside, looks like there is another window above his bed…it doesn’t line up as being anywhere else considering the position of the door and the way billy crosses the room, etc. there seemed to be something just under one of the curtains, too, later but there was only the briefest glimpse)

i couldn’t identify the brand of stereo/headphones or the specific cassettes (some look home made) but at least there’s a sense of what he’s got there. there’s some kind of booklet or something else under his headphones and it looks like the booklet on the cassette drawers says ‘stereo’ something so i thought it might be a manual for the stereo. (it’s only the cassette deck portion of a stereo, though). one of the things on the pile of cassettes looks like a softer cardboard box so either box from a cassette that wasn’t in plastic (like a cassingle) or something that’s not a cassette (cigarettes?)oh and everyone had that candle in the dimpled glass holder, right? i feel like i remember seeing a lot of them. haha.aside from his clothes, all that’s in the closet is what looks like a blanket? (just above his head to the left in this shot)there are a couple of books in the top left that i can’t identify. perhaps text books?

and i’m pretty confident the object above his head is a stereo receiver (a DJ i know on facebook said that it was a stereo amplifier but i think that might be a similar kind of thing?) another friend said it looked like the beta player they had, which was my first thought, but the big knob (heh) steers me toward stereo receiver or similar.there are two atari games on the inset shelves (next to billy’s closet). one is quite easy to identify because the title is visible. surround was one of the 9 VCS launch titles for atari in 1977. it’s the first version of the game that is more widely known as snake. the second game is harder to identify. the only box i could find with that colour was dodge ‘em but you can just see an ‘s’ visible. i dismissed star ship at first because the box i saw was a deep red. but then this one came up that is perhaps faded or another version or just the way it photographs and i’m fairly confident the second game is star ship. (it was also one of the 9 VCS launch titles).

i’m not 100% sure, though.this cassette carrier on etsy is almost exactly the same as billy’s so i’m confident that’s what it is.so, this is a terrible crop but i remember aaaaages ago @women-seem-wicked suggested this cassette could be a copy of Toto IV (if it is i’ll bet it’s in there thanks to a meme savvy set designer?) and it looks not unlike it. i can’t really be certain what any of the cassettes are though. but i wanted to mention that!billy has a LOT of cassettes. they’re sitting on some kind of box but it could be anything. i wouldn’t be surprised if it was storage for more cassettes.so, you can see bottom left there is something else with an aerial but i can’t make out what it is. i’m thinking some kind of radio? probably another piece of audio equipment at any rate. and there’s something behind it but could be anything.??? i thought may possibly be a basketball? i have no clue, really. but there’s definitely an object of some kind there and from the curved shape basketball seems a fair guess.

ok, so, i’m allergic to exercise i know nothing about exercise equipment but i think this is an ab wheel? you can see the handle of it behind his head in the picture above this one. at first i thought it was a knife handle but then i caught this shot. there’s something else sitting in front of it but i don’t know what that is

.i’m fairly confident that billy’s boombox is a panasonic rx-5031 (it’s not listed on the panasonic models here but it comes up in a google search.) the 5030 looks completely silver and doesn’t match with the black finishings on the one we see in the show. aaaand this person also seems to think it’s an rx-5031 so excellent.looks like billy has a phone on his mantel! (good to take note of for fic purposes ;D) and some kind of empty bottle. there’s something else behind the bottle (only seen briefly and out of focus) but it’s not seen clearly enough to bother adding a pic of it.i think the case might just be another cassette carrier—it looks very similar to this one on eBay and several others on google image search. @lissieisspacey suggested typewriter case as an alternative but also sent me this link to a savoy cassette holder which looks realllllly similar to the case there.

at first i thought that small black object was a viewer/project for 35mm slides (the case looks not unlike a slide case, too, though i think it’s actually a cassette carrier as i stated above)—the one on the left, which is an agfascop 100, is just to give an idea of what they looked like, it’s not the same shape as whatever is on billy’s mantel—but maybe it’s just some kind of light or something?

i would love for it to be a slide viewer, though. anyone else got any guesses? you can see the cord of the possible phone better here, too.mötley crüe poster/picture of some kind (or LP?—it just doesn’t match up with the actual cover of the album unless there was some special edition i couldn’t find)—it looks like it’s covered in plastic with the way the light shines off of it. (whatever it is, it has the same image as this promo poster for shout at the devil—the image i’ve used is a repro from etsy that i can’t link to because the listing has disappeared but you can see an, i believe, original poster that was on tradera here)

as well as the metallica poster above his bed and the mötley crüe pic on his mantel, billy has this poster (or maybe fabric wall hanging?) for the album ‘filth hounds of hades’ by tank. it’s not on spotify but you can listen to it here if you want. (it’s good!) i have to give a shout out to a couple of friends on instagram for identifying this for me when i posted it on my stories there.i think billy has 3 lamps?

not entirely sure about the object on the left below the poster (it’s behind his door which seems an odd place for a lamp but it looks lampish) but the other 2 are definitely lamps. the middle one is on his vanity and the right one is seen in his mirror and would be in the corner by the mantel. the black object with silver edging looks like a case for some kind of audio equipment to me? i’m not sure, though. that’s the only glimpse we get of it.edit: an anon suggested a coat rack as a possibility for the object below the filth hounds of hades poster)

The scent of Billy Hargrove

We all know our favorite Cali trash king loves his beauty products. Seeing his pre-date routine on screen has led to some speculation of what he actually smells like. How many times have you read/written “he smelled of cheap cologne and cigarettes” in a fic? I know I have (done both) a lot. Oh boy, was I wrong! Our man’s got taste!

So read on for a review of Billy’s colognes. You know, for future reference or if you’re simply a sucker for classic male fragrances.

Billy uses Paco Rabanne “pour homme” (front) and Estée Lauder “Aramis” (back).

1. Aramis - Estée Lauder

(Identified by @gothyringwald, refer to the great post on Billy’s vanity here)

Fragrance Family: Leather Cyphre

Introduction: 1964

Occasion: evening, romantic

Head notes: Bergamot, Artemisia, Cumin, Gardenia - fruity and aromatic with a bitter/spicy touch

Heart notes: Jasmine, Cloves, Sage, Myrtle, Vetiver - dark and herbal

Base notes: Patchouli, Sandalwood, Oak moss, Amber - leathery earthy and woody

Aramis is such a macho fragrance, very masculine yet distinct. Dense, complex and seductive. A warm and sensual scent, the original composition is known for it’s smoky, sweaty note. Incense and leather amplify the natural aroma of the skin and when lightly sprayed, it’s amazing with an open shirt. Thanks to it’s great longevity, the scent will stick to clothes or sheets for days!

Wearing instructions: never spray on directly or it will be too overpowering making the wearer smell like a disco pimp. Keep the bottle at a distance and let the mist settle gently on your skin.

2. pour homme - Paco Rabanne

(Judging from the print on the bottle and the color of the liquid Billy is using the after shave version of this scent)

Fragrance Family: Aromatic Fougere

Introduction: 1973

Occasion: a true allrounder daytime or nightlife formal or casual

Head Notes: Rosemary, Clary Sage, Brazilian Rosewood, Laurel - green freshness with a soapy note

Heart Notes: Lavender, Geranium - warm and floral

Base Notes: Oak Moss, Tree Moss, Musk, Honey, Amber, Tonka Bean - dry, woody, earthy

Often called a traditional barbershop scent this fragrance leaves a very fresh, cool and slightly soapy first impression. The ferny head note summons an image of green woods, mist, moss and fresh rain. The composition then develops a lasting sensation of pine and warm amber. Overall a very sophisticated clean smelling fragrance that’s pretty perfect for the purpose Billy puts it to.

Wearing instructions: apply lightly and let the delicate scent unfold on it’s own. When overdosed it will smell too strongly of soap.

That’s it, kids! Now, add some hairspray and a dose of cigarette smoke and you’ve got a pretty accurate idea of what Billy smells like. I assume he probably doesn’t wear “Aramis” to school, it’s more of a date night cologne. I can totally see him using his “pour homme” after shave on a daily basis, though.
