"Our washing machines are broken so, on the count of three Mr. Mooney will become a washing machine...1...2...and 3..."

Are you lighting your hair correctly?

Customers Agree: The Importance of Being Erect

Remember: True beauty comes from within


Customers at the Hair Hall of Fame agree that Margaret's work in the Posture and Deportment Department on "How to Be Erect" is the "Bee's Knee's".  Why, any day that Margaret is teaching, it's dress up day.

And see how Peenee is so eager to please? Leading the charge of the lite brigade of beauties gives Peenee confidence and couth!  Oh, you high stepping kid!

Or, you can just let her sleep-in if you'd like. That One-Hand Mist-ifier looks like it might be hard to operate with a hangover.

Seniors Day

Stylist Norma was perturbed that a memo didn’t go out last time we redecorated the waiting area.

Consider yourselves informed this time…

The Walmart Rapunzel

I Suppose It HAD To Be Done...

People kept jabbing at me to be on Pinterest. I don't even have time to maintain all of my blogs (averts Mistress MJ's stern eye.) Well, I suppose it's a good place to keep all of my Hair and Beauty photos in one accessible place. Tumblr is too random and their search function doesn't work very well. Flickr actually bounced me off for having nudie Jayne photos! Yes! I went back a few years and reposted most of my hair scans under (naturally) the name "Mister Ray." So here are the beginnings of my Beauty Culture collection on Pinterest. I will add when I have time. Please enjoy. Most, if not all, of the hair manual scans are from my own collection. The photographs I have either scanned from various magazines or bought from collections. If you have information about any of them that you think should be added, please let me know. I have worked as a photo archivist for years, so I try to find out as much as I can about these photographs. Thank you!
