Thank you!
Just hot rollers and bobby pins.
And I do believe they're magnolias.

BonnieJean: Thanks! I'm a perfectionist though. That collar is gonna bother me lol
Thanks Red!
Thank you Nikki, and you could never look yucky. I just don't think you have any yuckiness in you! The dress is a vintage piece I picked up off the bay about a year ago....I only get to wear it in the spring and the summer because it's a really lightweight cotton. It has this really cute peplum on it and a pink skirt to match! Lipstick is Besame Red. I couldn't wear it when i was brunette it didn't look right but now it seems to work pretty well.

Nikki...your going to make me go to Walmart again!!!ohairas said:
Nikki! You're gorgeous! I love the do, and how it is at the bottom.. my hair isn't quite long enough to get that look at the bottom, although I was finally able to connect my french braids at the bottom with pins yesterday.. I was pretty stoked!
Your dress is so adorable.. I may have to make a trip to Walmart as well to check it out!

Thanks girls!!
Red, my hair is rather long so I get a good enough tail to drape so that it shows in front.. then tuck the tails into the bull-roped part and pin. You could always use a fake braid to "connect" the two!
This is one stupid reason I don't want to cut my hair but I don't wear it this way that often...[huh]
Here's the link to pics from yesterday. I didn't have shoes that really "go".. wish I had some red espidrilles. The only red rose I have is HUGE and juts off of my head and looks really stupid in most pics, lol! Oh well... it was fun. I wore the back in a roll with a vintage comb. It's not the smoothest, but I did it quickly. BTW, this vintage dress makes me look like my boobs are at my waist!!
Nova had a blast, I think he prolly had a sore throat from saying choochoo all day non-stop.

Nikki, your hair looks great!
I always have the problem that I have a side parting that hates trying to be parted down the centre, so I end up with one fat plait on one side and a thin one on the other. I might have to corale it when it is wet and try your swoop of hair at he front to make it look right for my face.

this is probably my fav.
Thank you so much everyone!
Miss Sis, I have the opposite problem. My hair wants to part in the middle and it's hard to get a side part! I end up with an off center...
Oh I wish Goldwyn, I 'd be going to the Paris FLEA MARKETS baby!!

This isn't natural is it? Please tell me it's not so i can find out how to copy it! This is the shade i've always wanted. It always comes out too brown or just too blond.

Tamamiko-Nope,not natural in the least.
2 of the colors have been discontinued,but I'm sure you could find something comparable.
My hair was a combination of highlights and lowlights,alternating brightest copper,with a bright true red(practically orange slices mixed with coca-cola red)and the over-all color was a rich coppery red that was applied between packets.(more natural)
The key to this combination is that the highlights and lowlights are finely woven instead of chunky slices.Definitely not a "try this at home" job,I recommend seeking proffesional help.
Good luck and post pics if you go for it please!

Ruby I loved that color as well. Was it by chance Redken's Copper Pop or Fever that they don't make anymore? I can't remember the name of the line, but I liked it. I have a few bottles left over at work but I don't want to use them because I know when they're gone, that's it, lol!
