The Middy Thread
Thanks for the hint but I'm not sure if that's the right thing for me. Hair dressers always told me they wouldn't cut it dry because I have to cowlicks in the back / crown. -
Fleur pictorial
Her agency and the press seemed to think the same way, since pictures from this series were taken for several articles and magazine covers (1947-49): (If some of you think you don't recognize Marilyn in the Cinemonde cover - that is most likely because the picture has been mirrored here.)- wahine

Old Hollywood Stars: Before and After
I second your statement and add: *whooooooo* Who'd imagine that this could grow up from this ?! -
The Middy Thread
I have fine hair, too. It usually never held any curl but pin curls do the job (as long as the air stays dry). Before I had the layered cut from the hairdresser, I had a Middy cut that I did myself, without layers. It was okay and held the curls. Actually, I only went to the hair dresser because... -

The Middy Thread
I'm not too surprised to hear that. When I was browsing the net for information on Middy cuts, I found different photos and sketches that give different impressions. That's why I was so unsure of what to do. I guess the best way would be to start with what Psycho Sue suggested. If it doesnt come... -
How often do you wash your hair? (guys & gals)
Thank you for the info! I bought some "Hausnatron" today. It says Sodiumhydrogencarbonat on the back of the package and wikipedia claims that that is the "correct" term for Sodium bicarbonate. So I'll give it a try tonight and hope my head won't explode :D -
The Middy Thread
Psycho Sue, thanks again for your detailed answers! I will give my hairdresser a drawing the next time and give it another try. Don't really know where/how to find a retired hair dresser but I'll keep my eyes open. Anyway, the hair will need some time to grow back before the next try. The... -

Show Us Your Purchases!
Wow, fifty pounds is quite a sum. But I guess it's a type different to mine, since you say it's lockable which mine isn't. This is the other one I got. It came with original soap can, brush (for clothes or hair, I don't know), tooth brush can and tooth brush (yum!), nail grooming set (some...- wahine

Show Us Your Purchases!
:D If I don't like it or the bottles don't fit in the other set, I'll think of you. May I ask how much you paid for the thing? I didn't really purchase any of mine but swapped them for other stuff (in an online trading place). Barter instead of money economy - ain't that real vintage?! :D- wahine

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Hi, I have already written a few posts, but never really introduced myself. Living in the middle of Germany, I'm a major student of Egyptology and Social Anthropology. I guess I've been a vintage lover probably all my life but I've never really had the guts to go vintage in every day life. So...- wahine

Show Us Your Purchases!
I'm one of the gals who don't really care for shoes but can't control themselves about bags, purses... actually, anything that you can put anything in. So, right now, I'm waiting for this to be in the mail: I think it's actually a men's set, but I'm hoping to use some of the stuff for a...- wahine

Are there any universally liked actors/actresses?
Asking for actors who are liked by pretty much every one, I second Gregory Peck, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant and Bill Powell. In my personal opinion, Clark Gable, Jack Lemmon and Bette Davis (!) need to be on the list of the all time favorites, but I know there are people who dislike them. And...- wahine

The Middy Thread
Thank you so much for your ideas, Psycho Sue! So is this what I need? (excuse my poor drawing, it's just for making sure that the language barrier doesn't prevent my understanding) That's exactly what she did, yes: So this is not what I need. I'm not really sure if I understand it... -
The Middy Thread
What's wrong? I had to have my self cut middy corrected and went to my regular hair dresser who usually only does modern hair styles. I gave her some Rita Hayworth pics plus a sketch of a middy from the internet. I wasn't sure if the hair needs layers or not because I found different pictures... -
How often do you wash your hair? (guys & gals)
I got thin straight hair that goes a bit beyond my shoulders. I used to wash it every day but over the years it got "weaker", meaning it's getting thinner, duller, falling out! I already see myself bald (at 34!) and feel I got to do something. I gave up washing it every day two or three months... -
Vintage style while doing chemo ?
I wish you all the best, too! That you may have strength and go through it well. A friend of mine just had the procedure last year and she's all well now (also her hair grew back as it was).- wahine
