Ok. First of all let me say that every single year MY MOM would give me a Toni permanent the day before school pictures! I did not know any better and lord knows I never carried a comb. I have one school picture where I was just getting over chicken pox AND my mom gave me a Toni perm. That was one ugly picture.
That's me right between Judy Willoughby and Robert Waugh(?)
Oh wow, I recognize almost everyone in Mrs Rueff's class.
Thanks PT.
I just deleted an "anonymous" comment here.
I want you to know I'm uncomfortable doin' that, but the comment added nothing to the discussion, and made me mildly uncomfortable. As an administrator of the blog I have the ability to play "Blog-God", and since the comment didn't contribute anything to anyone specifically, I made it go away.
If you wrote the comment to be mildly perverted, be advised I will make you go away anytime you do such a thing in the future.
That is all. Move along... nothin' else to see here!
Joker, don't feel bad about your Tonettes! My mother did the same thing to me and so did Flygirl’s.
I think our mothers must have had visions of Shirley Temple when they put us through that torture.
The smell alone could knock-out a big man! All that rolling, pulling and fumes that left me all but blind!!
In the Fall, Mother would cut my hair very short then give me a perm. That way I would start school with frizzy hair.
Somewhere around the first of the year, I would get another cut but no perm (couldn't perm your hair if you couldn't open the windows)
That way I could go to school with my hair stick-straight and look like the orphan that never got picked!
Jeanie B & I went the same church and her hair was always beautiful. I never understood why her mother wouldn’t take me in on a permanent basis or just long enough to fix my hair.
But then all the girls had hair prettier than mine,,, unless they curled it with a branding iron and dried it with a blowtorch.
It wasn’t until Junior High that I learned how to escape the Mother’s Beauty Shop/ Torture Chamber. Then I got to learn how to sleep on stickery rollers with pins that left permanent scars. ;)
PT, I think you're right about the Shirley Temple thing. Back in those days mothers thought little girls hair should be curly. My hair was straight as a stick (still is) and my sisters is naturally curly - so I was always the one that had to suffer and go to school with frizz, while my sister had shiny soft natural curls.
Then in late HS I discovered those big rollers you were talking about with the stick pins...BUT when I went to work for Indiana Bell right out of HS, I started using frozen orange juice cans as rollers AND I slept in those things. I did that for a couple of years before I realized how stupid it was! Ha!
Oops, I forgot to mention that the OJ cans in my hair were no longer frozen, they were used with the ends cut off and I used bobby pins to hold them in, but of course you probably knew that. Just making sure.
If the cans had frozen OJ inside, they might have been more comfortable ;)
Do you all remember the song "Hair"? I loved that song...still do!
My mother decided to cut my hair with a beautician's (may have been a barber's) razor blade...BAD BAD for poor 'ol Bo AND THE ABSOLUTE WORSE WAY TO CUT CURLY HAIR. It didn't take long for that razor to get dull and mother wouldn't buy new ones. I was tortured by that thing too often!! Talk about child abuse; I still cringe when I think about it. What's worse; a Tonette Perm or having your hair pulled out by the roots? HA!! Maybe it was character building....
I love looking at these pictures. What sweet memories they bring back; we had a great group of classmates and enjoyed each other's friendships.
Bo
Your right GB got my pictures mixed up.
That's John T. in the bow tie sitting next to suzie w.
GB you was talking about Mrs. Saunders. When she would sign the yearbook it was across that side of her face
I just went down memory lane and re-read TD's comments.
Is this the culprit TD?
