Hi there, guys and dolls! Every now and then, it’s a good idea for a gal to discover some new little tricks and tips to keep the glamour game going. This week, yours truly is sharing some gems of my time, courtesy of the Youtube Vintage Fashion channel. I just love British Pathé films, don’t you? These quippy clips are all about the finishing touches to put you heads up above the crowd. Just click on the title or picture to get to the link.

Hair – Check out this feature showing off the daring new dos of an up and coming stylist – The Vidal Sassoon Show – Mayfair’s Hot New Hairstylist! Thinking this young man will go far  ;-).

Swimming Caps- Want to protect your perfectly coiffed crown of glory and get a little exercise (in the form of poolside flirtation, of course) at the same time? Why, try out one of these little numbers from Swimming Cap Fashions. And wasn’t the crowd captivated (tee-hee)?

Earrings – Oh those bewildering baubles in 1950s Novelty Earrings! How will the model ever choose what pair she wants to go out for a gay time? Of course, for me it’s natch – the champagne bucket for the girl with the effervescent personality who knows when to stop :-).

Eyeglasses – Here we have a lovely double feature for your troublesome double vision. In 1950s Glasses Fashions you’ll learn all about accessorizing your lovely assets. More Fab 1950s Spectacles shows designer ‘specmanship’ and doesn’t the crowd look impressed? Bamboo, anyone?

Hope you enjoyed this delightful and informative tour through the land of glamour. Sorry, got to fly. Now that I have things to wear, I’ve got to find the places to go!

Toodles,

Barbara Jean
