I love retro hair! Back in the day, women of color would spend hours in the beauty shop (or at home) styling and ironing their hair. Then carefully pinning each curl into a desired style. Finger waves were all the rage and easy to do. However, now days it seems that it is difficult to find a stylist who knows how to style retro hair. Several months ago I went to an upscale salon/spa to get my hair done for New Years Eve. I asked for simple victory curls with a super man curl in the front. The stylist gave me a grandma mannequin roller set. Disappointed, but I was in a hurry and made it work that evening.
Not wanting to put up with the stress and aggravation, I do have a stylist who has a clue when I show her a picture. However, in between times I have been looking on the Internet for wigs that can be worked into a retro style. Well there is not much on the web for this subject, but I did find a wig on YouTube that the lady worked into a fabulous retro do. The draw back is that it is short, and short hair does not look good on me. I am going to try it out and let you know what I think.

This Ol' House
The first time in my life, I am officially a homeowner. Okay maybe I married into it, but I am excited nonetheless. Actually we were contemplating buying an older house, but that is another post. I am totally addicted to the latest design shows, and often wonder where the designers get their inspiration.
I am totally feeling the American design for our home, without getting too country. I look around our neighborhood and get that vibe from neat lawns and picket fences. Plus it is easy to maintain and incorporate in an merging household. Well will see how it works out!
