Show us your hair do's....
Tonight's hair with a beret and hat pin to bunch up the felt a bit. I set my hair in metal rollers and then brushed it out into waves. Took a while but works well. This is also with the long middy cut I did. Curls sit a lot better. -
Long haired 1930s 1920 looks?
Not every woman (even young women) were Flappers in the 20s though. As said above...many women waved their hair at the front and curled or rolled the back up to keep up with fashion. It was pretty common to do this. Flat to head with a curved roll at the back was still very chic. -

The Middy Thread
I gave myself a longish middy cut last night with the tutorial. It's still below my shoulder line in the back and sits on the shoulder in front. I have set it in rollers tonight so we'll see how it looks. -

Knitting Machines and parts?
My Grandma used to have one sitting in her loungeroom in the 70s. I never saw her using it but would have loved to have seen it in action. I can't imagine how you'd even set it up to make something! Can you use any pattern? There is quite a lot of stuff on ebay for knitting machines. They were...- swinggal

"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
Joan - I think you are right about Joan and her husband. He's a tool, won't be sad to se him go. Sal - I don't know how, but I hope he gets to come back. I loved the complexity of his character. Peggy - not so sure about an the affair with Don. Maybe Pete will factor in there somewhere but...- swinggal

"The Pacific" - can it possibly live up to expectations?
I may just do that. I have read quite a few books about POWs during WW2. "War behind the wire" is agood one about Australia POWs. "Mates and Memories" is another good one about the Thai Burma Railway. In 2007 while on holiday in Thailand I visited the River Kwai Bridge and Hellfire Pass as saw...- swinggal

How to be well groomed.
I think it's a great old piece of film. Obvious and overdone now, to people here, maybe but most people these days are terribly groomed. I constantly shake my head at what people wear in public. I just don't get it.- swinggal
