Silk Worm

I know for a fact this has been up and down the blog-o-sphere. But I have 2 kids, and seldom leave my house, so we just now went to the theater to see "WATCHMEN"
The movie was good, Tim read the "graphic novel" so he was a bit more into it than I was. The movie was quite visually stimulating, if you can ignore the massive amounts of male nudity. Ha!
I got all dressed up, and wore my new dress I got at the Urban Eccentric the other day.
Its darling, and I will post a better picture of the whole thing soon.
My hair, magically did not curl last night, so I had these olast minute pin-curls in my hair hoping to save it.
I think the end result worked out rather nicely.
And look at that perfect bang roll?!?! I cant believe that.
We grabbed some dinner, and everyone I walked by made comments about Old Hollywood. That is always so nice to hear.



Ok, Back to the movie.
Oh-Em-Gee. Silk Spectre. I know, I know, everyone has blogged about it.
But how darling, how exquisite.
I think, nay, I know I can re-create that hair do when my hair gets longer, and I plan to do it!
Her finger nails, her lip-stick, her sassy attitude. Fantastic! She was hands down my favorite part of the movie.
Silk Spectre II did nothing for me. I think the gratuitous sex scene killed her character for me. bleh.

Welcome to Niagra Falls...

The other day, I had the fun chance to do a shoot with a girl from my town.
She rolls under the name Bright Ideas.
It was the first shoot I had done in a while, and was way laid back. I even got to have a beer and hang out in between shots! I wore several of my favorite dresses from the past. Including my favorite green 50s cocktail dress. It felt great to be doing it again, and I am booking shoots for the next few months!
Anyway, on to the fun here are some shots from this valentines weekend.





By the way, I later ate that apple, and it was delicious.

Ballad of a Bottle Blonde

My roots had taken a turn for the worse, and were approaching 3 inches of contrast coloring.
Last night, I decided to overhaul my not-so-lushious locks, by bleaching it to high heaven.
The result was, to say the least, yellow.
I had a bright goldenrod mop of curls all day today, and I cringed a bit every time I passed by a mirror.
Tonight's game plan consisted of BLUE SHAMPOO to correct the lemon-head I was sporting.
Pulling the towel off I sighed in relief, that my hair, is now one step closer to a clear white blonde.
Comedy of the night: a darling picture of my "mustard mane." Do enjoy. Please also take note of my out of control eyebrows! I am off to fix that right this instant! My Goodness.

Pin-Curl Pandemonium

Pandemonium. I am really glad I spelled that right!
So, normally, I pin-curl my hair about five nights a week.
I have two children under 3 years old, so the only time I have to myself is 10 pm. So, that is when I set my hair in petite pin-curls, and then I veg out in blog land, before retiring to the chambre à coucher.
When I am feeling too lazy to pin-curl I only do my bangs, and then I bust out the handy "sponge rollers."
When used properly, and carefully, these little rollers can give you some period authentic hair.
But beware, too tight, and too many, equals 80s poodle hair. . .

So this is my lazy set. I also parted it down the center, which I never do. I think it gave a nice 50s look.
My daughter seems to agree.

So never fear, if you have not mastered the Pin-curl, there is still hope in foam rollers!
