1940s Hair Art



I think she looks fabulous.  She may have even have whipped up this follicular extravaganza herself.  And she knows just how marvelous it is, so she's trotted down to the nearest photo-booth to record this rather miraculous "do" for posterity.

In years to come her children and then her grandchildren will look at this little photograph and laugh and tease her that anyone would do that to their hair, that anyone would want to look like this.  But this is her moment, this wonderful moment in her youth, when she looks at herself and sees how really beautiful and remarkable she is.  A moment that will always exist in this photograph.
