On a serious note, have any of my US friends noticed how thick ol Washingtons neck has gotten on the newer quarters? Got rid of his braid too.

Yeah, people with a more natural haircut are more ridiculous than dudes with powered wigs and whatever dumb fashion GW and the guys in the 1770s had.
Benjamin Franklin had a skullet/mullet and creampied menopausal women.

Why were the wigs powered?
To allow atmospheric flight and quick traversal of complex palace interiors
And were they steam engine powered? I guess that would explain the paintings where they look like there's a plume of white smoke around their heads ...
It is what gave them their white colour. Powderless wigs were quite the improvement.
They just fall off when unpowered.
