Victory Rolls! Hey wait! I thought I was trying to lose those…

Manager is away today, all my content is in the hands of others for review, bills are paid….so time to goof off a bit today. First up is trying to figure out hairstyles for the photo shoot. I have a hair appointment with Ruth next week and I need to bring her some ideas on what I want her to do for me. So today I have been looking through all kinds of photos, how-to videos and the like for inspiration. What I have found to be interesting is how much of the 40’s trickled into the 50’s in terms of hairstyles. I guess I shouldn’t be so surprised. I had my 80’s hair well into the 90’s. It’s not like we hit 1990 and just said NO! to everything that came before. So….here are some of the questions I am pondering today.

Bangs – To Betty or Not to Betty

I realize that the iconic bangs for the pinup are the Betty Page U bangs. Do I really want them? Another option (which I hate) is the weird looking rolled bang. I don’t even know why I am debating this one. I would have to let my bangs grow out before I could even attempt the sausage roll on my forehead anyway. Ugh…Ok, let’s have some pictures…

Yeah, I think I may go ahead with the U bangs. Ok, fine. What’s next?

Glamour or Rockabilly?

Ok, this one is a more difficult choice. I may actually try to go for one of each since I have 2 locations, 2 outfits, that sort of thing. Why not branch out and go for both? For the Glamour part of it, I am thinking the shots with the car out in the desert. Chances are my hair is going to be blowing around anyway, so I don’t want some complicated hair do messing up my pictures. Then again, maybe the headscarf might work...SEE? I can't decide! I am thinking more Dita VonTeese/ Rita Hayworth loose curls and a hair flower. Also, I am trying to consider the timing of the shots. Chances are the car shots will be done the first part of the day. For the Boneyard, I’ll be in the swing dress which lends itself to a more rockabilly vibe anyway. Maybe that’s the one where I get the more elaborate hairstyle. I don’t know if I’m ready for victory rolls, but at least I am more open to the idea. I just think it looks like I am putting HoHos on my head.

Ok, here are more shots to consider.

 

  

Final thought…I love Bernie Dexter. Total girl crush right now. FYI she’s the model in the photo I included for my dress…and also the head scarf pictures.
