I just wanted a pony tail, didn't care if it was straight or curly but it will be different to have curly
I have hazel eyes with brown specs around the pupil. A friend always say the brown specs are because I'm a little full of poo,

Love all your stories . They bring back a lot of memories

Growing up my hair is curly and my mother
hated it

She always had my hair cut very short. I hated it .. Finally in 8th grade I was told you want it long you deal
with it

And I have only had it cut professionally three times . As you know you cut curly hair dry. Or as in my case
you look like Sherly Temple

I have cut my own hair since I was 21 and it is long

I am typical Irish , green eyes , redish/lt brown hair more red in summer as it blends with the freckles LOL my sister is
blonde with blue eyes and poker straight hair .. Who BTW always picked on my curly hair Guess WHO gets perms

Funny, both my son's married dark Italian girls with curly hair and very brown eyes! So much for "like mom"

My mom used to say he's so full of $&!! his eyes are brown

That's true about "so much like mom" I play in mud and manure as often as I can, love most bugs, lizards, etc and hate to shop, just wear mascara if I'm going somewhere. My son married a shopper, girly girl, hates bugs and getting dirty,

but he loves her and so do I !!

Shannon, , how funny, "guess who gets perms?"

Laughing! That was the only time Mom ever bought juice. Remember how sturdy the cans were?
Sweet painting ''Shirley."

Julie,
Us too! I remember sitting under the drier!

Rosie,
Then you never slept in those bristly black curlers or pin curls with two bobby pins. Horrible! I hated curly hair, Mom hated straight. Guess who won :o(
DIPPITY DOO!!!

Ronnie,
I was always happy with my brown eyes, which are more hazel now. I wanted green eyes. My daughter has the darkest chocolate brown eyes. Not sure where that came from.

Jolana,
I wanted a ponytail so bad. Ever take your shirt off half way, letting it hang down your back, pretending it was long, beautiful hair?
Poo - giggling!

Shannon,
When mine was long I parted it in back, brought it forward and trimmed it myself.

Ronnie,
''So much for "like mom." That is so funny!

Since they love my sons and are good moms I'll let it slide

Thanks! My cousin surprised us with this along with one of my brother and his dog several years ago when we visited them. DH made the frames.

How awesome! Those are treasures!! I'd be proud to hang them at my house.

Anyone snip a sample of their hair to send off for a pony tail that cost $1.00? My sister and I did!! They almost matched....

rocklady said:I got a perm for my 7th birthday at a real beauty shop. Have any of you ever seen one of those machines???? Up until that time, my mother rolled up my hair every night -- I had Shirley Temple curls and I am amazed at her patience to do that every night.

Is this you?? How sweet that pose.

It would be so pathetically cool

I don't even remember having a picture taken with it and Mom was good at getting the camera out.

You could sell it to the Smithsonian!! I am sure it would merit its own plexiglass box!!

I actually dreamed I woke up and Barnabus (sp) Collins was standing over me... Why, I don't know, he was beyond creepy
They had the reruns on a few years back and it was so very cheesy,
