I love Lace and Lashes!

Hi all.....it's Gina. First off I missed the meeting...(I was getting my ear talked off from my tax man about how I am going to owe way too much money,) Anyhow I didn't get a binder or any sheets ANDI!!!! Please don't leave me out of the loop (lol). I honestly wish I could travel back in time and observe everyone. Wouldn't that be so much easier? For my next move, I'm going to look into films for inspiration. I'm sort of worn out from my Internet searching...(who would have guessed lol). However, I have learned some interesting things while researching. The early 1900 hairstyles had an abundance of ringlets due to Charles Nestle's invention of the first permanent wave in 1905. Many women in that time were making there own hair products from household items such as petroleum jelly, Castor oil, and Gallic acid. Also, I found out that a French chemist named Eugene Schueller created Aureole, the first of many hair colors on the market. You might be using this company today actually, they were later renamed L'Oreal. L'Oreal was also at one time supposed to be called " The French Harmless Hair Coloring Company". (could you imagine how well that name would fly now a days? ) Surprisingly, coloring the hair was not well looked upon, but that didn't stop many women from using it. Also, for those who could not afford to color their hair would make their own mixtures, using things such as herbs and rust. For the shoot, we are also supposed to look into a theme for our clothing, so I want to go with lace! White frilly lace, but with a modern twist on it. I also want high tight collars, with very minimal makeup. It was reported that even the women who could afford makeup used very heavy powder to appear pale to match everyone else. (That was because of an outbreak of TB)..I guess history can be fun lol....hope I could enlighten you!
