Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

A fingerwave is pretty stiff. You grandma, however, probably had her hair set in rollers and then brushed out and styled since fingerwaves were not that common after the 30s.

My lack of girly knowledge is astonishing sometimes.

I can, however, throw a baserunner out at first all the way from third, so that's something.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Yay, Ms. H and CaBil!

((((vw)))) ((((Steph))))

Susan, I'm not so sure you had an out-of-the-blue "aha!" moment. Sounds (though I don't subscribe to Great Write) like all the listmaking, etc. has been going on under the surface, and the "aha!" was the decision bubbling to the surface.

On hairstyling, all I got is

She had a dark and a roving eye
And her hair hung down in ringlets

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

Keep young and beautiful
It's your duty to be beautiful
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved

If you're wise exercise all the fat off
Take it off, off of here, off of there
When you're seen anywhere
With your hat off
Wear a marcel wave in your hair

Pin Curl How-To and description.

Right and wrong pincurl technique (this page actually shows a vintage set with the bobbypins so its probably the best for getting the idea).

Finger wave instructions.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I walked into a ladies' room at the Cow Palace a couple of years ago to see a Dickens Fair actor, all gussied up in corset and bloomers, standing at the door to her stall staring in mournfully. "My phone," she said. "I dropped my cell phone. I can't get it back. I don't think I want it back. But it's my phone!"

Lesson learned: Aside from the whole talking-while-going-is-NAST thing, small droppable objects+cramped space+human waste=most unwise.

Fred Pete, I LOVE that song!

Of the hairstyles Hec linked to way above, I also think Aimée could totally, glamourously, pull off the elegant beehive.

I know I'm far more impressed by the throwing. "You throw like a girl!" "Damned straight, and I'll pick you off for an out, too, if you keep doing that."

Now tagless for your comfort.

I know how to French braid hair but have had short hair since 1977.
