My oldest brother, a young teen at the time, wired my mothers curlers with batteries and bulbs. When she clicked them closed, it turned on the lights. (He's the one that became a doctor.)
I think we used Spoolies, then "brush rollers", then snap rollers, then hot rollers and sometimes went out with triangle scarves to cover them in an emergency. Otherwise, I didn't want to be seen in them either:-)

ReplyDeleteThat's funny Oshi Shikigami I am sure she didn't venture out in them, but if she had gotten lost it would have been useful to have them.
ReplyDeleteThis photo was at a time before home hair dryers got popular. I can't say I ever wanted to be seen out in curlers.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness yes Ann Kennedy, if you absolutely had to go out in them, you hid you shame under a scarf. lol
