Do the Poodle! OOTD HOTD
Sometimes when you are trying to get pictures of your OOTD and HOTD, you just have to cheese it up!!
I decided to sport the "Betty Grable Poodle" today after seeing nothing but poodle dos in a vintage hair group for the past 2 weeks. I haven't worn my hair this way in many years -- not since I last filmed my how I do tutorial. It was slightly more difficult this time around as my hair is shorter. I had to MacGyver it with a ponytail! I added the detachable bow from my Arthelia's Attic navy snood for the final Betty Grable touch!
If you want to see how I make this look happen, check out my 2 part tutorial!

| Before the rain and humidity blew my hair up. |
The day started out hot and sunny. So by time I biked to my first stop, I was dripping sweat. I was happy for my sunscreen, but afraid it wasn't go to do much good for very much longer. By time I reached my 3rd destination on bike, the dark clouds started to roll in and the wind was picking up. With the impending rain looming overhead, both the counter gals at destinations 3 and 4 were actually concerned about the rain coming down and ruining my hair. I was both surprised and flattered.
While I didn't get caught in a downpour... I did get hit with a few sprinkles of rain and an up kick of wind. By time I got home after destination 6, my hair had dropped and fluffed out. Thank you humidity.
I thought I would put some comparative side by side photos of how my hair started out today and how it ended up yesterday. Thanks to my hair becoming HP Fluff and Puff, I added a hair flower to disguise the kinked ridge in my hair from the set last night. It was fine earlier when brushed back, but now... there is no fighting it. Obviously I had some time on my hands so I decided to make this second shoot a little bit more professional versus just using my camera phone for the earlier shots.
Outfit Details:
Playsuit - Made by me from a 1940s sewing pattern.
Sun top - Homemade from the 1970s
Flower - Swag Bag goodie from the Miss Symco Pageant that I hosted in 2012.Lipstick - Besame Red Hot Red

I'm no Gene Tierney
I am no Gene Tierney, but this hair style is highly inspired by her hair. From what I could tell, Gene's hair was usually styled in simple waves with big curls at the end. Not the tight fluffy curls that I like to wear. I managed to style my hair like this in less than 2 hours. 1 hour being under the bonnet dryer and 10-15 mins putting the perm rods in. The rest of the time was brushing, styling, and scultping. It is quite a simple do to achieve, but not knowing if it would turn out, I didn't happen to take photos of the process. It was really simple to do, so I may do a video tutorial of it soon.
Anyway... I am Lolita Haze Not Gene Tierney. LOL
