1940's Straight Hairstyle

Most women of the 1940's preferred curls to straight locks, but if you are looking for a straight and long hairstyle that has the charm of this era, then check out this style.

Beautiful Retro Woman

An off center part separates the two sides of this retro 'do. The strands are all basically one length so no bangs here. Each side is brought up and back and secured under a red bow headband which is rather holiday-ish or sweetheart-ish. Her bright deep red lipstick is a nice touch for that glam girl appeal.

Here is a helpful link if you are searching for headbands with bows.

80's Nerd Costume

This is a perfect look for the female looking for a fun and nerdy theme that showcases the retro colored telephone as a prop.

Redhead women with green telephone.

Back in the day it was cool to have a side part and pigtails just made it that much better. This model is wearing thick black framed glasses that give her the studious nerd persona. She does not have a ton of hair so this is just right for those with fine locks. The top portion is smooth and straight and the ponies are loosely curled. The phone is chartreuse and has the dial that gave the fingers a good workout.

This photo shows her with the look of shock holding the receiver in one hand and yelling into the microphone. She is probably offended by a would be suitor and cannot believe he would say such a thing.

Many of us who are old enough remember a tele like this one attached to the wall in the kitchen and if you were lucky enough, you had a long cord so that you could at least go around the corner to talk in peace away from listening family members.

Oh my here is a sampling of old retro telephones to take a gander at.

Carnival Mask and Hairstyle

If you are looking for something a little bit mysterious and lacy for the face along with a sleek and smooth maroon hairstyle, then look no further.

Red and Lacey

This style is super straight and full of rich color in a shade that is somewhat unusual. It is a cross between red, maroon, and pink and it's uniform throughout. With a middle part that is not distinct, the two sides split apart to frame the face. Graduated lengths start at chin level and look a bit choppy. The length is just past the shoulders.

Her mask is black and lacy with loops and curls that form an ornate shape that has holes for the eyes and comes to a peak on the forehead. Amazon is an excellent source for black lace face masks.

There are many occasions when this look would be perfect: a masquerade party, Mardi Gras, carnival, Halloween, New Years, and theme parties.
