Hello everyone; I'm looking for high quality vintage style hair for a 1940s setting; I'm not just talking about victory rolls or very basic waves. When I've looked at stores in SL specializing in period fashion and accessories, it seems the hair fits a very specific theme, such as Rosie the Riveter, or some other pin-up inspired hair, almost a stereotype. It ends up looking like a cheap costume, compared with "proper" hair from high quality makers. For period looks, such as for the 1930s and '50s and even viking/medieval I've been wearing hairstyles from mainstream, high quality hair creators, such as DOUX, Truth Hair and eXxEsS, which often works better than finding explicitly period-specific hair from specialty shops. However, this can be quite difficult to find and requires a bit of digging until you find something that works well enough you can use. While I do want to find more of these hairstyles (there aren't too many) I'm wondering if any of you know anything more elaborate and fitting examples. I'm talking about sleek, intricate, finished hair; chignons and hair nets, rolls and waves too, but more authentic ones with more variety. Something that actually resembles the actual look of the period, at least in drawings and photographs. If anybody knows of any shining examples, I would very much appreciate it! - Charlotte Sinclair

Those who have seen my posts will have noticed that I have been pretty successful in getting several of my RL family and friends into SL. Or in the case of my parents and best high school friend, creating avatars for them so that my memory of them can live on in SL. All this is in a few prior posts. Because of wanting to help them I have had to do a lot of vintage hair and clothes searching. Unfortunately the number of vintage (50's-60's in my case) have gone the way of the dodo bird. So I have had to do a lot of searching and getting a lot of help from folks on this Forum. Unfortunately most vintage labeled clothes are from the Victorian era or earlier. In an effort to at least payback a bit to this community here is the list of my favorite hair makers (both current day and 50's-60's era). Interesting note: the two lists are polar opposites.

Hello, I am asking for help to find good quality attire and hair (ESPECIALLY HAIR!) that is 1950s, retro, vintage, pin up, rockabilly, bombshell themed. I especially love mesh items! Please only answer if you know of GREAT QUALITY items. Attached I have posted pictures of what I mean by good quality items. I can't seem to find them anywhere. I have also tried searching keywords on SL market place and get a few nice finds with mainly a bunch of low quality items. I'm crossing my fingers here and hope I get a little help. Thanks!

I have just made my mind to start a 1950's inspired family roleplay. In this scenario, I would be the very polite, discretely seductive and very heart warming wife, of course...just need to find a person willing to RP as my husband now :)))) I don't expect this to be a 24/7 roleplay or anything like that because I too am not online that often but, honestly, it would be already good to RP a bit on the weekends or even in the afternoons of the work days. I live in Portugal by the way. Oh, I almost forgot, the nationality of this supposed 1950's nuclear family is yet to be debated about...yes, the most common usually is the american family when speaking of the nuclear family but, let's say, im an unusual kind of gal ^ ^ Hope my "husband" to be, agrees on having a 1950's inspired french family hahahaha Au revoir!

I receive a lot of invitations to be filtered through & I also am always wanting to catch events that target my store theme, such as Vintage. ~ Send routine group notices for both Store & Blogger groups ~ One monthly blogger check via submitted forms for blogger group (currently about 20 bloggers) ~ Be available and in contact with bloggers (and me) about new invitations, ejections, checks, contests, feedback and any other blogger group related activity { Qualifications I am looking for } ~ Honesty above all else, as you will be trusted with handling customers and with my store materials and products.
