TEASING
No, I’m not teasing you,
nor will the hairdressers be
teasing ladies hair in the
future. H’s O-U-T and am I
glad! Have seen much pub
licity about it, but saw the
new styles on T. V. and they
make a lady look feminine
once more! The best style
seems to be parted on the
side,, brought across natu
rally, smoothe in the back,
and just turned up a little,
(that is the bob) softly, in
front toward the 'face.
Beautiful!
EVENING WEAR
Again we are happy that
long formals are back in
vogue in a big way! We al
ways loved them and never
felt really well dressed in a
abort formal. Tall girls and
ladies looked too tall and
short ones ... well I was one
of them! The trend of so
much attention on the hair,
so much attention on “just
how short I can get my
dress” ... did something to
our society as a whole!
MAKE UP
Yes, Siree! It’s about out
too, that is those heavy eye
brows and black eyes! Only
the very lightest shadows for
evening, and daytime “black
eyes” are O-U-T ... thank
goodness. Some of our ladies
overdid it in the day time,
and at night ... well we
have seen some that looked
like owls ... we stared, and
