30's hair... similar to Snookie's... although I think hers looks better. Yay Snookie! Ignore my goofy expressions... I was being a nutter!

Wow, Cherry Lips and Lolita...those are the kind of compliments that make a girl want to keep posting! Lo, love the do - trust me, it's better than mine (I did little deceptive camera angling for the best shot ;) ). Wish I had all your great poses, too!

I haven't posted a picture in a while and thought I'd share my look today. Actually, this is how I usually look most days. I do my hair with Hot Sticks and can do my hair in about 10 minutes or less. I do have a slight natural wave to my hair and it takes a curl fairly easily, so that helps too.
I love all the looks you gals have posted so far!

Darhling,
I have the pink/lavender Conair Hot Sticks set. But I didn't like the smaller (pink) rods (for me, they give too tight of a curl), so I contacted the company (There's an address and phone # with the instructions and you can find the company's phone # online too.) and ordered more of the larger size. They sell extra rods in packages of 3 for about $2 (USD). So I purchased 3 sets of 3 and have 2 as "spares". Now my full set is all the larger rods, but I can use my smaller ones if I want to. My extra rods came in the lime green color, so I don't think there is really is a difference between the lime green/pink and the lavendar/pink. Its just that there are 7 of each size. But I think I saw that there is a larger set of rods (with more rods, same two sizes), but I can't remember where I saw it online. I think Snookie uses both sizes of the rods. You might be happy with using both the small and the larger rods. I had to play around with my hair a bit to decide on the size of curls I wanted.
Best wishes! I couldn't live without my Hot Sticks, I've gotten my money's worth and then some! (Since you live in Sweden, I'm sure some of the other gals overseas could recommend some hot sticks, too.)

Lolita you look so adorable--a more glamorous Deanna Durbin! And if (after my hair grows out again) I could ever get curls that looked like BonnieJean's I could die a happy woman.

You can! Hot Sticks are SO easy, even I (who can't do a 40s roll for the life of me--I'm all thumbs) can do them. You ought to try them even while your hair grows out. You probably wouldn't have to leave them in barely a minute or two. :)

That's my "vanity in an armoir". Since I don't have the money nor the space right now for a vintage vanity, I created one inside of my armoir. I printed out some classic movie stars photos (female stars of the 30s) and put them on the inside of the doors for inspiration. Then I decided to print out a few of my favorite leading men from the 30s and 40 and framed those and have them placed around my vanity area. Yes, that's Bogey you see in my photo. Isn't he dreamy?

Always love your hair! You know, if you're ever interested in posting a tutorial, I'd love to see it...;)

I'm glad to hear that it's possible to buy additional rollers -- I do use both sizes, but I usually feel that the small ones are too small. I'd like to have more of the larger size. Yea!

Thank you Magpie Annie - it was a very good hair day that day - sadly they have all been bad ones since! Isn't it funny how you can do your hair the same way several times and it looks different every time!

So, I got my perm, and while right now I am not very happy with it, at least it is giving my hair a little bit more umph so that I dont need a rat to do this do. I'm not sure to how long it is going to stay up, as that I dont have any hairspray in it (dont want to gunk it up to much since I cant wash it yet) and only a few bobby pins. Also, the washing she did, plus the chemicals took all my semi-perm color out....makes me sad, cant wait until I can put more in.
