Curly

Curly
Uploaded for this week's "Curly" theme at Vintage Photos Theme Park. I don't really know what the theme covers but there's one way to find out, eh? Anyway, we have some curly hair here, and some curly-hair holders.

I believe this comes from a 1948 copy of Holiday magazine. Unfortunately it and some other old publications went missing during my last two moves and I haven't come across it yet, so I can't verify that.

No idea what Scoldy implies. Let me know if you know.

Thanks to Keith Burton for sending me a link through which I was able to find that today's successor to this brand is the Amelia brand. Scoldy Lox was also registered as a trademark in 1945, so the 1948 edition of Holiday is looking more likely as the source.

Fred Fouarge, Keith Burton, Ulrich John have particularly liked this photo

Thanks, Rick, for reminding me of that. I have many memories of the 50s but they're starting to get hazy.

My mother always had a couple, too - but in England they were called "grips" not "bobby pins"!

"Grips" sounds a bit sinister, Deborah.

Well, my brother and I weren't hit as children, but my mother definitely had the arm "grip" as she marched us upstairs. : )
