#7 I don't know, that hairdo is kind of... intimidating. I swear it's *looking* at us. And isn't particularly happy.

#11 For you uninformed and unimaginative types:

About the do -- very popular in the early forties. Kind of a combo of French chic and well, uhm, don' t know how to communicate this discreetly, but is an abstract of an entirely different part of a woman's body . . . that's all I'm going to say, except that half the fun would be undoing the do, and then getting on with other things.

Okay, I'll shut up now. But it's true.

#12 ex-lib, are you sure the girls knew the hairstyle was intended to suggest other bits? Because I surely didn't until just now... and I'm forced to wonder if the french braid I wore in my younger days had meaning beyond keeping the hair out of my eyes during back handsprings.

Besoeker, lovely two-fold connection there -- the geranium and "In the Mood". I may be oblivious about the subtler signals of hairstyles, but I pick up the important things. ;-)

#13 Many hears ago, Mrs. Besoeker and Ek were in a Gasthaus beer garden in Fusen enjoying a quiet dinner, listending to splendid organ music under Bavarian summer stars. I asked the musician in my best German if he could play that old Glenn Miller song. He performed an absolutely superb rendition. The bar maids were twirling their towels and dancing behind the counter, everyone applauded wildly.

#14 Trailing Wife: Ms. Sheridan's hairstyle is not a french braid, per se. And yes, I'm sure, but remember that humans do lots of similar things, albeit unconciously. I could go on and on about fashion and hair and sexuality, but it's fun to keep up with it on your own. I happen to like the hairstyle because it's a very suggestive "power-do," while still being demure. What's wrong with that? It's a lot better than stupid Madonna et.al.

#15 Not even close to a french braid, ex-lib. I would have classed it as a twist or roll variant, very popular at the time in all their variations. The classic french twist went through a revival not long ago for dressy evenings. No criticism meant of your knowledgeability or subtle appreciation, just my own ignorance and obliviousness. Someday we'll get you to do a Rantburg seminar on the subject, I hope. :-)

#16 Not offended at all, trailing wife. The kind of observational analysis I offered doesn't have any real practical application anyway--the fact is, so much of everything has to do with some sort of sexual expression--especially fashion. It's just life. And I think it's okay.

#18 Let's just hope that suggestive hairstyles never become popular for men!
