When I see little girls with the hairdo on the right I have certain visceral reactions.
First...the pain. The physical pain involved to get the hair to do this.
Secondly...I'm already convinced she herself was a pain. Maybe it's too many old movies, but when little girls had this hairdo, if they weren't Shirley Temple, they were bad. Bad to the core. They broke things. They connived against anyone they thought crossed them. By the end of the movie they'd had their comeuppance and were now on the straight and narrow, even if their hair wasn't.

To get those curls - stinking solution and wound up on curlers that were then plugged into and electrical machine with wheels. I was in the 5th grade (1941) and decided if there were a fire, I could unplug it and roll out the door. Very scary. Also very smelly.
ReplyDeleteYou are braver than I would have been. I've seen photos of those machines and thought they looked a little too Frankenstein-ish. I still can't stand the smell of hair salons.
DeleteAnd not to mention the double trouble with having two bows too....
ReplyDeleteYes, the bows really pull the whole look together. And the final bit of physical pain too.
