    Show us your hair do's....

    WOW! I really loved the bonnet dryers. I had two of them when I was a kid. On the base of one of my bonnet blowers was a hole you could put your finger into to dry your nail polish! I ditched them in the 80's to go with the Clairol hot rollers. What a mistake. I miss the bonnet dryers...

    Euro vandals in NYC subways

    Really? That's funny... I wonder what politically incorrect fodder they could have written on the walls back then? "Heed all to Romulous and Rheemus. Repent! The end is NEAR!"

    Vintage eyebrow shapes

    Wow! Sorry I haven't checked back in awhile! :) Yes, this is the thinnest I had ever gone... But not for want of being thicker.. This is exactly how I have always wanted them, but the ladies in the salon are ALWAYS too afraid to give me what I want! It's so very frustrating...
