So this is what I look like upon waking most mornings. (Minus the lipstick of course.)
Under the scarf hide roughly 52 pincurls, each rolled around a tube of MAC lipstick.
Yes, it's scary when you first take the pins out. But perservere!
See? Told you it'd be worth it.
Garth and I did a big closet clean out (his) on the weekend, and lo and behold! His drawers were secretly harbouring one of my long lost dresses. So, here it is! I'm not really sure on the era - I'm guessing 60's(?) Either way, it's comfy and good for work.
Oh, I love my car. I have to sell it before we move to Melbourne, as we'll only need (and have room for) one car. I'll be sad to see it go. We stripped and painted it, lovingly changed it's oil, washed it, filled it with fuel, drove it to shows, beaches and parties. It's been good to us.
I'm amazed with your dedication - I feel so blessed to have naturally curly hair, as quite often my arms give out before I finish my pincurl set (so I cheat and just brush out my natural curls) but you do this most nights? I salute you!
ReplyDeleteMy hair is curly too, but I prefer a more authentic vintage look. And yeah, I do it most nights, except if I know the next day is going to be too hot to wear my hair down! It takes about 20mins now, I just do it when I'm watching Mad Men, or reading a magazine. :)
ReplyDeleteI also wish I had the dedication to set my hair each night. But my hair is getting so long and I am lazy ;]

Lovely post, beautiful hair...I rag curl mine every other night...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth it :) This would not be worth the effort for me as curls always drop out in my dead straight hair!! You should drive the car to melbourne... then you can keep it and we can go cruising!! =)
ReplyDeleteLilji - I'd love to - but there's nowhere to park it! Don't worry, my next one will be a 40's merc or hudson!
ReplyDeleteYou look great !! Do your curls last more than one day or do you have to make them every night ?
ReplyDeletemizbonnieparker - they last about 3 days in total, but i think they look nicer fresh, as they tend to get messed up when I sleep on them. I kind of like the ritual of putting them in too!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks amazing, I'm totally inspired!
