Thank you! I forgot to mention, the hat and dress came from my fave shop, Matilda's Closet ;)
still looking for a 'favorite' shop around where I live...there's one I need to check out soon...the best one I"ve visited so far is a vintage shop called 'Put on the Ritz' but it's a couple hours away.

Mysterygal, where is this shop? If it's a couple of hours in the right direction, I might be able to check it out.

Wow, wow, wow! I love it! Did you do pin curls in the back and a roll/rolls on top?
And tell us, what lipstick are you wearing? It looks perfect!

Thanks, everyone!

And Etienne, not to worry! I think she and I have been confused once before, which doesn’t bother me, because, well, she is a doll ;)

Amapola, I actually set my hair with sponge rollers all over. The front is styled in double reverse rolls, with the back brushed out using a round metal brush (the brush style that works best for me.)

I am wearing Rimmel ‘Red Diva’ lip liner and Besame ‘Besame Red’ lipstick. Here is a color photo to give you a better idea of the total effect:

Faux bangs

So I tried out some faux bangs tonight... It was the first time I did and it was harder for me to do than I thought... thanks to a wonderful hairline that has about 3 widow's peaks!! :) I just wanted to share the results. :eek:

I would post another group shot that has JitterbugDoll in it, whom by the way was looking gorgeous, but I don't know if she wants me to... we went to see Blondie tonight!

Wow, your hair looks great! So let me get this right, you don't really have bangs, how did you manage to do it like that?:eusa_clap

Faux bangs are hard to create when the front section of your hair is longer then a certain length--I've done them before and I just don't like them as well as I do other styles on me [huh] But I still think they're really cute :)

Maisie--they are basically a forward roll (in other words, a pomp rolled under instead of back), pinned in the center.

I don't mind if you post a picture of me Lolita--it was a fun night, and we took some fun photos
:)

see, you learn something new everyday!;) at first I thought faux bangs was a hair extension or something. Very cute! Now that I know you can actually create the look without having actual bangs, I'm trying it!
Lolita...great pics!
