Easy Victorian Hair Style: Rag Curls



So my hair is at a considerable length these days, and with my love of the movie A Little Princess, I always wondered how to get my hair in curls like that. My hair is extremely straight btw. I just read a really great article showing how to do exactly that! It's called Rag Curls! I am going to try it. It is supposed to be very easy, and because you use pieces of cloth instead of curlers, it is very comfortable to sleep in. That's the kind of hair style I like, you put it in, and the work is done where you sleep. You wake up and WALAH! Beautimous, romantic Victorian style curls.
You can see the picture of the 2 girls from the movie with their hair done up with the little cloth ribbons. I am so excited to try it. I'll post a pic of what it looks like once I get it down. Here's a link to the article: http://www.ehow.com/how_4750423_create-rag-curls.html.

Etsy DIY on the red carpet

Link
"Congrats to wickedworld whose pendant was worn (ahem, flaunted) at the Oscars by pet-lover Mickey Rourke. The cute face of Loki, Mickey's beloved Chihuahua, stood out from Mickey's flashy white suit and be-sunglassed look. The actor was nominated for this year's Best Actor for his role in The Wrestler. Sadly, Loki passed away only days prior, and Mickey tearfully dedicated the Independent Spirit award to the pooch at a separate ceremony. "

Awesome. Click on the pic for the whole article on etsy.
