toggle, of course it's not my personality.

I'm not very bright.

Loch Raven Manor

Reminds me of one of my mother & fathers houses in Loch Raven Manor in Towson. Your items, the colors, the decor of that period and new modern living in the burbs. And Modern Shopping right next at Eudowood Plaza, Two Guy's Department Store, Montgomery Wards and more!

However...

You are Mighty White!

 

[toggleswitch]

Veg.

You ARE in my book.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Veg I LOVE just your bathroom products! I've got a few old jars of Dippity-Doo myself.

 

[spiralactivator]

What every bathroom needs

White Minx for tinting those peroxide streaks and Spray Net to keep that bouffant perky.

Dippity-do

Veg,

What an awesome collection! The Dippity-do was sold overhere too, but that was a looooong time ago! I forgot all about it. BTW, i'll come to you for a make over! LOL

Louis, if you want to take your chances on getting a vintage perm, then I'm your man!

Being the impulsive person I am, I often wonder how I'm going to keep myself from actually using one. Or more.

Joe--Eudowood! It's Towson Marketplace now (unless they changed the name again.) Has Wal Mart, Target, Super Fresh, Toys R Us, Filene's Basement and a bunch of other stores I don't want to go to.

We had one of my proms at Martin's Eudowood. 'Member that? I remember Two Guys, but only barely. In high school, it was fun to say "Yeah, he went up Two Guys after school..." Sophisticated, we were not.

Those old Lilt boxes remind me of my mom getting home perms in the early 70's from the "neighborhood beautician", Angie. That smell was EVERYWHERE! Plus, Angie was one of the few people that my mom allowed to smoke in the house (Angie and my grandpa). We'd come home from school and Angie would be there, cigarette clinched between her front teeth, working in those sponge rollers; Mom under that cape.

veg-

I do remember Martin's, but I have not lived up there since I was very little, I know the area has changed and I agree with you with regards to those stores, I always liked going to Hutzlers, Hochchilds, & Stewarts, with my mom and grandmother.

Those old department stores had a certain stuffy stuck-up style which I used to love, I miss them all!

You maybe a little young to remember those, but I wish I still had that house on Drumwood!

 

[veg-o-matic]

Anyone remember the Lilt commercials with the gal dragging a whole beauty shoppe home on a flatbed? "Finally, I'm going to get a professional-looking permanent at home!"

Ah, for the days when the womenfolk worried about stuff like that. And we menfolk didn't worry at all, just internalized everything and died early of heart attacks.

How manly is that?

I was thinking of you today veg

I've got the day off and I was puttering around in my basement aka The Home For Wayward Midcentury Items. When I saw the Modernaire it made me think of you and your amazing vintage beauty products collection.

If you truly want "Happy Hair" then you need the Modernaire!

A little dusty, but all there and it works perfectly.

 

[Versatronic]

Now don't take this wrong...

you're a good looking fellow and all, but you can't sit around all day in your Danish Modern chair, drinking tab and reading your old Good Housekeeping mags. You had better invest in a Trim-Cisor! This is one strap-on you won't be able to fit in a bedroom drawer. Put the strap around your middle and let the Trim-Cisor shake that middle-age bulge away. Really, just flip the switch and the machine does all the work! It's how I keep my svelt figure.

 

[petek]

Good grief Mike.. I thought I was bad when I brought home the GE Mist Styler in avacado.

 

[veg-o-matic]

LOVE that Modernaire! Those little legs are the crowning touch, no? Is there an ash tray in the arm? I think I've seen that model in one of my old Modern Beauty Shop magazines (another collection...)

And that Trim-Cisor! I remember when Sears et. al. sold those. I can think of oh, any number of interesting uses for it, but I promised to be good!

Actually,

It does have an ashtray in the arm! And the lucite helmet has gold sparkles in it that didn't really show up in the picture. And, it is unbelievably comfortable. I guess it would have to be if you had to sit on it for a long time while your hair beehive dried.
