Hello Darlings!

I'm getting married September 6th of this year and I'm looking at doing my hair for my wedding 1094s/pin-up style. Any suggestions!?! Thanks!;)

I think you meant "1940."

We're just having a little fun. Welcome to the Lounge! :)

Don't worry bettybabe, I never noticed your typo either AND never got the joke until it was explained. I don't even have blondeness as an excuse :p Welcome to the lounge.

Awe, thanks, Lola. Everyone has been so nice here. And it's such a great medium for some awesome vintage resources. I am currently trying to grow out my bangs. They're right at the tip my nose right now. They're kind of in that in-between stage where they're too long to leave in your face but too short to pull back. Any cute style suggestions? I've always done a great job with my pin-up make-up, but I'm horrible with hair and don't have a lot of time in the mornings.

Does you hair take a curl? Could you wrap them up at night and then have fluffy curly 40s bangs like Lucille Ball?
Growing out bangs is such a nightmare I haven't had the courage to have them since...1971 or so...

Thanks, Darhling! I'll post some pictures here in a bit!

And Miss 1929, that's a fabulous idea. I'll definitely have to practice, though. And when I finally do get it right, I'll post pictures!;)

Pictures!

Thanks to Darhling, I uploaded my pictures to Photobucket and went from there! Thanks, Darhling! Give me some feed-back and some constructive criticism!

P.S.
The tattoo is on the right side of my upper-back. Her name is Betty and she's even got old-school sailor tattoos on her arm! The other pictures are my 1940s make-up.

I love it!! You look so cute! I wish I knew how to pose like that ( I allways look so 'okay I am being photographed now so roll upperlip into mouth, stare freakishly at the camera and look unnatural' :) )
