Interesting tip for doing victory rolls...

Apparently when my Grandma did her hair in victory rolls, her and her friends rolled their hair up with tampons, and just pinned them in with the rest of their hair. I have not tried doing my hair in victory rolls in the first place, let alone with tampons, so I can't give any pointers more specific than that, but it sounds logical to me.

The Royal Wedding is the Last Thing I was Expecting to Post About Today, but...

I noticed how much her dress looked like my Grandma's wedding dress from the 50s. Pretty cool!

Vintage Wedding Dress

This picture popped up on facebook recently. This was my Grandma's wedding dress. I'm pretty sure she got married in the early 1950s.

More Grandma Pictures

These are from the mid/late 50s. I love my Grandma's hat in the first picture, and her skirt in the second picture. The kids are my mom and one of my uncles.




I'm back at school, and my classes start today. This could either mean that I'll be posting less because I'm busy, or posting more because I'm avoiding school work. We'll just have to see what happens I guess.

(Beware, this post contains drawn/naked boobs)

Before my Grandparents got married, my Grandpa was in the military and was working overseas (this was after WWII). I believe these are the pin up girls my Grandma drew for him while he was away. (Again, I don't mind if people want to save these for their own viewing pleasure, but please do not re-post them anywhere else.) :)

I'm Officially Declaring it "Grandma Week"

First picture: Grandparents, and I assume the kids are my Uncle and my Mom. Yellow is my favorite color, so I'm very jealous of that suit

Second picture: Another wedding picture

Third and Forth: I'm pretty sure my Grandma is the youngest girl in these two pictures. I love the hairstyles in these two pictures

My two favorite facts/stories about my Grandma: 1. She got kicked out of college for punching a nun, all because she didn't want to wake up early enough for classes. 2. She ended up meeting my grandpa when she picked him up when he was hitchhiking

I think it would be awesome if this really did turn into "Grandma Week" so if anyone would like to do the same, please post pictures/stories/whatever about your Grandma(s) in your own blog

Grandparent Wedding Pictures

I'm not sure what year my Grandparents (Mom's side) got married, but I think it was around the very late 40s, early 50s. I don't know what my Grandma is doing in the first picture, but I just love it. Her dress is also to die for.

My uncle just posted a bunch of old family photos on facebook, so I will be posting more sooner or later. I really don't know much about them, but they're so fun to look at. At least I think so! I don't mind if people want to save them for their own viewing pleasure, but please do not re-post them anywhere else. :)
