    Thanks for the info! I'll have to try it on again with the strap in back lol It just seemed to fit under my chin, but it has probably stretched out over the years. I thought it might be for wearing in the car with the top down! Ah, dreaming of a 30s convertible Phaeton...

    Public Enemies

    To bob or not to bob?

    Aw, thanks Aorta! I have it shorter and choppier now for summer. I only curl it when I do vintage a few times a year. Also, one other thing I forgot to mention. I have a tiny little curling iron I use to fix all the little stray areas. It's only about 1/4" maybe 3/8". I got it at a beauty supply...
