Learn something new every day! Toward the end of her life, in an eccentric move, she introduced the fashion of dyeing women’s gray hair with a bluish tint.
For a fascinating read about Elsie's life and work, please go here.
@MJ, sadly, no, not with the pink hair. She is a Jersey Girl (at age 5 I was sure she was Marily Monroe), platnium blonde, perpetually sprayed and perfectly poofed, tanned, slim, heels, perfect mani/pedi, is in her late 70s, but looks 50, married to the same man for 50+ years (a living Ken Doll), retired in yep, you guessed it, Flor-i-da.
Where would we be without her?
ReplyDeleteSo much now makes sense-Elsie and I share the same birthdate. No wonder I throw myself onto the ground after reading HHoF posts.
ReplyDeleteNot dyeing my hair blue, but my aunt had hers pink in the 60s. I liked it.
Thanks for the Jane Hall link.
Shall we plaster her image on our Seniors Days flyers?
ReplyDeleteMJ - yes! Margaret - PINK? Do you have photos? Thom - nowhere.
