I've not seen Dirty Dancing, but I did catch the sequel (which is actually a prequel) as the midday movie. It's set in the 50's and boy were there some GORGEOUS dresses in it! It's the main reason I kept it on (oh and the dancing, I LOVE to dance!).
Hmmm must try to remember to post photos of my new hairdo!
I haven't seen DD2, but I did not hear good things. The original DD is definitely the one to see.

I need urgent hair help. I'm going to a vaguely 60's style wedding this weekend and need advice on hair. I'd like a beehive type arrangement but can't seem to find any instructions that make sense on the internet. I know its out of this sites area of expertise but can anyone help me?
eek!
eek!

I am currently getting a little obsessed with Mad Men. Here are some photos of their hair- more on the website I think one of the key 60s traits is height in the crown area

I'm still stuck in the experimenting stage and I still haven't found a set pattern I'm completely happy with. It's so quick to roll my hair now that I'm seriously considering having the hairdresser adjust the sides so I don't have to tuck them behind my ears because fullness at the sides doesn't flatter me.
fftopic: I don't have hair rats or even hair pins but I experimented with victory rolls today using my curlers to see if it's really as easy to do as people (on youtube) say it is and it really is that easy There are still things in my wardrobe that look 40s more than 50s so on busy days, I'll no longer have any excuse to go unstyled! I just need to pop down to the local supermarket and buy some hairpins and super strong hold hairspray!
Immediately after I pulled the curlers out, just finger adjusted but not brushed yet:
Excuse fusiness. Over caffeinated self-photographerlol
I don't know what I can do to make the surface look more polished. But I've just inherited a few old family photos and I can see that aside from one formal occasion, their hair 1940s-50s had stray strands going here and there and I think I detect a frizzier texture than I "suffer" from in some of those old blury photos. I haven't had time to scan them in yet.

This is my go to early 60s hair. I tease the heck out of the whole thing. Seriously - it's standing out in every direction. Then I carefully comb straight only the top most layer that will show. I put into a pony tail at the base of my neck. Half the tail goes up in a roll (smooth the end out) and the other half goes down in a roll. Then I secure a ribbon around the whole thin and **** out the top as much as I can stand.
I think I have that green dress (in pink) from that photo!

oooo I LOVE that blue dress in the top mad men pic!!
Anyway, beehive, my tip; backcomb backcomb backcomb. If you backcomb the hair from underneath, you get the height without making the top of the hair look all messy (does that make sense??!!) the smooth hair hides the big bit & makes it look all neat & pretty!
Please post pics of the finished do Smuterella! **x
I'm so going to have to watch this madmed!

I am MENTAL about Joan too, I love everything that she wears. I can't believe that I could ever wear anything as high waisted as she does though as she has an uber short waist. What a terrific shape......proper girl in my book!

I think it's due to re-run later this year before they show series 2. It's the only drama series that I've watched for years, the costumes alone are worth a gander.
Keep an eye out for the trailers would be my advice, or you could try and borrow it on DVD.
