Black salons still do wet sets, which are the foundation of many vintage styles. Finger waves and pin curls are still popular there as most of the clientele rely on these methods to upkeep their styles.

Looks like a wet set combed out and styled with hair spray on chin length hair to me.

Thanks! I was so confused! lol I obviously read it wrong and mistook the "1" for an "I".

I was always under the impression that "W.I." stood for "West Indies" ( I know it's Wisconsin when it's "WI"). I won this hat from an overseas seller and I am still waiting on it, but the milliner's address is on the tag and it indicated it is located at 19 Berkeley Street W.I., but it comes up...

I don't drink alcoholic beverages so my fall drinks are hot chocolate with whipped cream or Earl Grey tea..or any black tea really with honorable mention going to English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast mixed with cream and sugar.

Question: What do you ladies wear underneath sheer blouses? I have been finding a lot of beautiful blouses lately but unfortunately they are sheer. I'm thinking of maybe just a one piece shapewear underneath but just wanted to seek out any alternatives.

I like the idea of a pin. I would definitely wear it and an eye catching pin would possibly mean more exposure and traffic for the lounge. Was their final destination Erie or was that a layover for them? Craigslist has a missed connections section you can post ads looking for people if indeed...

Nope, didn't have a maid, my grandmother WAS the maid. At a hotel that is.

Or "gluten free" such and such.

Greyhound buses give me nightmares. I see a lot of hipsters dressing vintage these days. Or maybe they really do draw their inspiration from Mad Men.

I was about 12 years old when it originally aired so it ruined my childhood memories, lol!!
