Will be going to Ohio tonight to campaign for Troy Balderson for the big Congressional Special Election on Tuesday. Early voting is on. Troy is strong on Crime, the Border & loves our Military, Vets & 2nd Amendment. His opponent is a puppet of Nancy Pelosi/high taxes.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 4, 2018

BTW, it's Numbnuts' 57th birthday today.

I try to think of August 4th in more positive terms. Today would have been my parents' 71st Anniversary. Hope they're celebrating wherever they are now.

That clothing is not authentic “curlers” era. I can see peddle pushers being worn with curlers, but only at home. If you had to run real quick to the drugstore, you covered the curlers with a cool head scarf. That would be a real sixties look, and socially acceptable, but not for “boys watching girls go by”. Those were fun innocent days!

Home hair dryers had not yet been invented. You had to leave the curlers in to air dry.

The problem is that some people don’t know where they are on the food chain continuum. Then, again, it’s their problem, not ours.

So if this rally is at a high school it’s going to be a smaller venue than usual?

[Rusty0604]

I didn’t either, but I saw some women that did. I remember trying to sleep with those things. Them my mom bought a hair dryer that had the cap. :-)

[Rusty0604]

I like it!

[Rusty0604]

Where did you grow up?

[Silentgypsy]

May multiple camels with halitosis spit on his necktie.

[Rusty0604]

I did not know that.

Yes, they had!

Yes, they did. But you had to spend a good hour or more, if you had long, thick hair like I did, sitting under the dang things.

[Jemian]

Drying your hair was quite a process, often taking four or more hours. The excuse, “I have to wash my hair that night,</i> had its roots in truth.

[Albion Wilde]

We had forced air heating in our house. Lying next to it in the tv room worked better than the hair dryer with the plastic cap.

[georgiegirl]

Honestly, most of us teens and pre teens during that time didn't own a hairdryer, not in our neighbourhood anyway. Air drying was the chic thing to do. I also remember sticking my head in the oven, that was a precursor to the mid sixties when we went for the surfer girl look and ironed our sun bleached hair (and white lipstick).

[donna]

Hmmm, I think it was like those pink phones in the movies, only Hollywood had them.

[Albion Wilde]

We had them in our lower-middle postwar tract households around DC in the 50s.

I don't know what to tell you. Not even beauty parlors had blow dryers until hippies came along. My older sister got a portable dryer sometime after the Beatles!
