Thanks, and of course I will share!!! I used Loreal "Frost and Design" for blonde to dark blonde color. It comes with a cap, so I did crown and face-framing highlights with the cap, then I touched up roots and made some bolder streaks "freehand"!!

p.s. the cap = not hot lol lol lol

Thanks, it looks lovely

Hello Lovelies,

I need some opinions. I don't know how up you may be on your Dr Pepper trivia, but are any of you familiar with Pretty Peggy Pepper? There are very few pictures online of her for me to show you. In short, she was a fictional advertising character for the Dr Pepper at the beginning of US involvement in WWII (Feb. '41- Apr. '42) She was in advertisements and comic strips, and a young woman named Peggy Ellis made appearances in her likeness for special events.

Long story short... I'm an employee at the Dr Pepper Museum, and I portray Ms. Pepper in first person for special events. We haven't been doing this very long, and we're still working out some kinks.. especially the hairdo. Here's the hair we've been working with

Visiting the White House Press Corps in Crawford, TX

Any hair suggestions from the experts?

How interesting! I work in an advertising library- we do Pepsi But I'd never heard of this. We have historical books on Pepsi and Coke, but nothing on Dr Pepper. I did look through some books on 40s ads but nothing with Peggy in it. Anyway, here are a couple great links with a lot of samples to give you some ideas. Let us know how it works out!

TackyAnnie, that is neat! We stop in Dublin each time we pass through there, and we always visit the museum.

I'll have to check some of my old magazines at home and see if I can't come up with something for you!

I have finally made it through all 184 pages of pure class and glamour and feel ready to post my first post

I've been experimenting with ways to curl my hair and was inspired by this picture of Rita Hayworth

Here is the result, excuse the uncomfortable look, I hate my pic being taken, even if it's me taking it! lol

 

[Fleur De Guerre]

Hello Norty! Nice to see you here!

Your hair looks utterly fab. Oh to have your volume!

 

[Norty_Lady]

Hi there Fleur!
Thankyou I had it cut last weekend and had it thinned out! There is so much of it that everytime I wash it I find a Fozzy Bear in my plug hole lol

This place is like a gold mine for hints and tips. Like I said it's taken over a week just to read through this thread!!

 

[cherry lips]

Lovely locks! *swoon*

 

[Norty_Lady]

*blushes* thank you!

 

[Smuterella]

Ni Norty, how did you set yo0ur hair for that? I'd love to know.

 

[AllaboutEve]

You SO have the right avatar Norty!! Welcome to you and your lovely hair!!

Hi Smuterella

Hello Eve

Here's how I got this look


I spray dry hair with VO5 curl and hold spray.
I then section off my part grown fringe/bangs and the sides and clip them out the way.
I then take the remaining back hair and half it horizontally.
Clip the top half out the way and seperate the lower half into 3 sections and wind each section around bendy foam rollers all the way to the roots.
I then do the same with the upper half but I only roll as far as I want the curl to go, usually half way up the hair.
Then at the front I seperate my bangs/fringe and clip them away.
On the side my parting is I roll the whole side on a bendy foam roller, rolling towards my face up to the root ( is this easy to picture?)
Then on the other side as there is more hair I seperate it into two secions and roll them on bendy foam rollers all the way to the root, the lower section I roll towards my face again.
Then I pin curl my fringe/bangs in the direction I want the curl.
I usually do this in the evening and sleep on it.
In the morning I unroll it and run my fingers through to break up the curls and brush it into shape

Sorry about the waffling, hope this helps
