You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thrive to spite them

people need to stop standing in front of my desk and having conversations. Or multiple conversations at the same time. Yes, I'm in the reception area but still -- I have work to do and besides I don't want to hear your stupid conversation.

Also --- stop whistling. Really annoying. Stop stop stop.

PMS has hit me hard and I really want to be somewhere else. Anywhere else.

Pin curls

I totally thought pin curls were different. Like, ringlets or something.

Actualy she's still got the pins in the curls in that picture. Usually you brush them out into loose waves. A pin curl is looser than the curl you'd get with a roller.

Most old fashioned hairstyles are difficult to replicate today because women would get pin curl permanents (in the 40s and 50s) and they're not as tight as the roller perms we know (and fear) from the 80s/90s.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

These are my shoes. In "mocha", though.

I totally trust you to pull off old style movie star glamour.

I can't tell you how THRILLED I am that the late 40's-early 50's thing is back in style. Circle skirts and tailored bodices, yum!!

I'm buying this dress for my great-grandmother's 100th birthday party next month. And I'm totally getting those kick ass shoes on the right!

So....ringlets are just ringlets? What about Jospehine Baker hair -- what's that called?

Really, if there were How To Be A Girl 101, I'd take it.

Circle skirts

Man, when I went to buy my perfect bra yesterday, the rest of the department store was nothing *but* circle skirts! Fun!

Finger wave, really. Though sometimes that hair is called a Marcel wave after the earliest permanent.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

She came up quite a bit when I was searching for an answer to flea's question about the Eton crop and the Shingle.

Finger wave, really.

How does a person get her hair to DO that, though? Stay in one place like that?

Mostly lurking...

Tonight is the Annual Board and Staff Dinner for the school. How dressy should I be, do you think? Nice pants, nice sweater and flats or nice skirt, nice sweater and heels?

Yes! And also -- stop having conversations in the bathroom! This is not the chit-chat lounge, people.
