Okay. I know this isn't anything fish related.. and a little out of the ordinary.. but I thought, hey! Why not give it a try!?

I'm going to a wedding on Saturday.

I'm wearing a white and navy blue dress with bright red shoes, red shall, and red lipstick, and a pearl necklace.
The whole thing has a real 40s/50s feel to it.

I have really long hair.. and i'm going to do it myself.. but I would like some suggestions!!

Pictures would be the best.. but any suggestions I'll take! I attached a picture of what my hair looks like!


I'll of course I'll post pictures after the wedding! :-)

No suggestion but you have lovely hair!!! How do you keep it so shiney? Man, I am a tangle of split ends!

Amnagrla

lol I don't really have any tricks. But I'll thank my mother for the good genes....

COBettaCouple

yea, those are good jeans, they look nice. i'm a guy, i'd say "this looks good" and go like you are.. maybe you can break out the back to the future DVD or something to get some visual ideas.

Amnagrla

wise-guy.

yeah, I'll be looking online tonight for some ideas.

COBettaCouple

i'm glad you acknowledge my vast wisdom. good luck with finding a good hairstyle for that era.

Amnagrla

lol I'll post some of my ideas and you can vote on them. lol

and then you'll come up with one.. and I won't be able to physically do it!


I hurt my back at work yesterday... I feel so old. I'm 23, sitting in my pjs, using a heating pad, glass of wine, exhausted because I didn't sleep last night BECAUSE of the back... watching the sox game and my fishtank. I'm old!!

COBettaCouple

here's what you do so that you don't feel the back pain so much: take a heavy book and drop it on your foot.. then you can focus on your broken toes.

really, that sucks.. i know the feeling.. my back likes to do this thing where it knots up so bad that i can't move the left side of my body for a few days while i take muscle relaxers and live on the heating pad. hope your back feels better soon.

Amnagrla

I still haven't figured out this whole putting a picture in thing.... so I may have to modify.

Anyways... her hair is a LOT shorter than mine, but here's an idea.

Here is Portia de Rossi (gorgeous) doing a modern version of Lauren Becall (below-original blonde bombshell!)

Yeah, I like them! I just need to figure out how to DO them!

COBettaCouple

lol.. well during the 50s i ran a hairdo/poodle grooming shop.

Amnagrla

I'm sure you did!!! :P

COBettaCouple

Maybe these links might help?

Amnagrla

Awww thanks a lot! I'll take a look at them when I get home from work tonight!

ecnaj143

Don't ask me for advice because I don't care to much of how hair looks. I guess thats why I just shave mine off!!!

Amnagrla

Oh, so you suggest I go Sinead O'Conner??

ecnaj143

ecnaj143
