A Little Bit of Whimsy...

A few years back my mother (in the pink) and I (in the orange) were in the chorus of the opera version of Cinderella. It was to be an outrageous production with bright zany costumes, picture book sets, and the world's weirdest hairdos! Here are some pictures of our crazy hairstyles, which are lightly based on hairstyles from the mid 1800's (this Jane Eyre's era), as are the costumes. If you put me in a traditional dress from that era, my hairstyle would be completely acceptable.

New take on Chinese bun

I can't do this style because my hair is too long and heavy, but this is perfect for mid length hair that is not too full. I applaud anyone who can make this look really good and I'm jealous.

Submissions, Please

With 21 credits on my plate this semester, I barely have time to brush my hair, let alone style it. If any readers have hairstyles they would like to display, please post them in the comments section of this post (with pictures if you can). Thanks and have a brilliant weekend!

Tornado of Twists!

This is a style my friend Sarah made by pinning up a lot of little twists. Her hair is very curly so this is easier for her to do than me, as my hair is only wavy. My twists failed a little bit when I tried this.

All she used to hold the twists were bobby pins (and a little hairspray, I think). This would make a beautiful wedding style whether you are the bride or just attending, and it wouldn't be amiss for a fancy evening out or ball.
