Big 60s Hair

By -
The other day I woke up with giant hair. The body was amazing. Big waves and double layer bangs. I was a great day in the history of my head. In high school, when everyone wore their hair at flat as possible, my hair's body meant kids teased me for my frizzy giant 80s hair. I wish I had known then about the voluminous curls women worked in the late 60s. I would have shouted "I am Barbarella, Queen of the Galaxy!" and run away, cementing my status as the class weirdo.

Five or six years ago, my husband and I were sitting in church. I looked around at all of the teenage girls and said, "They all have the same hair." Completely straight, completely smooth. It's pretty, but people should have choices and variety.I asked my teenage niece once how kids her age felt about women not straightening their hair.

"They're weirdos," she said.

Sigh.

There was some matchmaker on TV who told a client that she had to get a blowout or men wouldn't find her attractive. Biggest load of crap!

Who is the blond woman in the black and white photo? I should recognize her, but I don't. I thought maybe it was Kim Novak but I'm not sure.

She's a French actress I'd never heard of, but I don't remember her name exactly.

She's not French, she's Italian. That's Virna Lisi. Famous over here for her co-starring role in "How to Murder Your Wife" with fellow co-stars Jack Lemon and Terry Thomas.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
