Retro Hair Inspiration: The Quakes Show, Brooklyn

Anyone that knows me really well will tell you that if I ever struck it rich I'd hire a daily hairdresser before a cleaning lady. While hairstyling is not my forte, I never give up. I'm always looking for inspiration. Last night I went to see The Quakes and The Memphis Morticians play at the Bell House here in Brooklyn and found some wonderful looks and inspiring hairstyles. Below is a photo of me before I left for the show wearing my black eyelet vintage 50's dress (bought on eBay), my cherry print espadrilles (bought at Macy's of all places!) and hairclips from my Gingham Rose collection. I have also included photos of some inspiring ladies with pin-up worthy hair from the show. Keep doing what you're doing!

Silk Spectre

I am not a huge comic book or graphic novel fan. I don't know much about all of the super heroes and such but I do love a good dark and visually stunning film, like The Watchmen. I took my BF yesterday to see it for his birthday and I really enjoyed it. Of course, I loved the the look of the 1940's group The Minutemen and Silk Spectre. I loved her super hero outfit, and her glorious pin-up hair. There were a lot of flashbacks in the film showing some great vintage looks from the 40's onward to the mid 80's. The costumes and makeup are great and worth checking out alone. But the story line, killer fight scenes, and suspense had me just as intrigued!
