[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 591942, member: 1550"] Trinity, my mom was very old fashion in her fashion sense. When she had been a little girl and teen, they put bobby pins in their hair to get it to curl and it really looked, to me, FRIZZY. Frizzy was NOT "in" when I was growing up. It was more the straight hair parted in the middle so that only your nose showed look. The hippie hair look. But that never stopped my mom from forcing me to have bobby pin curls when I was on stage dancing or doing my drama or singing or going to parties or having pictures taken of me. She forced the bobby pin curls on me until I was old enough to say, "NO!" I wonder if rollers were a new thing when I was growing up because my mom sure didn't use curlers to set her hair! And pictures of her friends sort of showed the same bobby pin curls. That brings me to something else our kids will never know: Curlers, ironing your hair because there was no such thing as a straighter such as the one Jumper uses to get her African American hair to be perfectly straight, and I'm not even sure hair blowers existed until I was in my teens. Times change FAST. I am going to be 60, so the entire hair and phone and TV revolution took place within fifty years. The phone revolution is taking off faster than anything I could have ever imagined. My daughter Julie, who is 28, did not own a cell phone. Few of her friends did. Jumper, Sonic and their friends have advanced cell phones that even send pictures and you can Skype. I can't think of anything that changed as fast as phones...from black dial phones to I-phones in fifty years. Quite an overhaul! Can anyone think of ANYTHING that has changed faster and more than telephones? [/QUOTE]
