Why Not Her Hair?

[belinda]

Ooh You lucky thing I've always wanted to go to Greece
I haven't had short hair since 1993 in fact I consider waist length short
It was much longer but I got bored now of course Mr Regret has come to visit

See if this doesn't tempt you down long tress lane again

Sounds great Belinda!! Ive been down the long hair road a few times but at the end of the day it's too high maintenance after a while- I know what you mean about the bun headache thingy though...............ooooooooooooooooh groan Especially as this time in two weeks we'll be in Italy en route to Greece (God I sound like Maria!!!)- best to keep it short (ish!!!!) I say!!!!

Kat- She didn't have to play up her youth- she had it- unlike the others!

[belinda]

I have long hair myself just past waist at the moment I usually wear mine down because if I do it up I get headaches I can have it up in a bun for about three hours tops before I have to let it down for a while Mary may have had this problem too which could have been a part, not all of the reason she left it loose
Buns might look nice but they can get damned uncomfortable

I'm sure it was Kat- a trademark maybe...mind you in a 'scrap' having the old hair down may have been a distinct dis advantage!!!

(Are you saying that Mary was 'unmarried?'- you could just start something here!!) LOL

Well maybe I am. I think her wearing her hair down was certainly to play up her youth.

I think it is interesting that Mary wore here hair lose. In the Victorian times a married woman would have been expected to wear her hair up. It is interesting that the other women seem to have done this but not Mary. Maybe because she was unmarried? More likely I think because it was a tool of her trade.

I have often wondered about the hair. The conclusion I came to was that the killer was more thrilled by the cutting of the body. Cutting a women's hair as a punishment was usually a humiliation and to mark the women out as unusual, like with the French in world war 2.

Exactly Kat ! as a mark of humiliation for shall we say 'sleeping with the enemy' at the very least. Sad but true- not far from the Witch burning though at the end of the day was it!! Think it was darling Kate, Belinda....well a bit of a comb anyway........ will check..... (amongst mi' posessions!)

Yep Kate had one 'small toothed comb' -nothing of that sort (well reported) in Mary's room

OK that's The Suzi Sunday Afternoon Educational Hour over with.........

LOL where's Mary's hair??? hehe

I hope he didn't wash his hair with it too

Back to Mary's hair at least one of the others Annie I think had a comb among her possessions I wonder if there's a full inventory of items found in Marys room

LOL where's Mary's hair??? hehe Just trawled back to the beginning of this thread to see what us all going on pre Aveda and Swarfega!!!

OK yes- especially as Mary disported her hair about as a bit of a 'Look at mi' lovely tresses' thing and was known not to sport a bonnet- both allegedly!!!

IF- and I say IF- it was someone known to Mary- who knew her- and her 'fancies' -wouldn't that have been the first thing to do!......... Cut it all off......shave it maybe..... not fanny about doing all the stuff that gives us all nightmares to this day! Now that would have been an alarming thing to do!

Hi Belinda-
Oooooooooooooh the joys of Rosemary's Baby are nothing to the joys of Swarfega!!! Guess it's something that goes with having a motorbike longer than is good for a girl....don't get me going on Gunk!!!

Mind you that is a posh new jar!!!..........and heavy duty too!!!! (her hum)

Try www.swarfega.com/au/ for the full 'er experience!!!

Hey it's getting better!!! have just discovered that Audley Bowdler Williamson (1916-2004) invented Swarfega - originally as a wash for silk stockings- this collapsed after the introduction of nylons in WWII.He then noticed that mechanics etc were washing(!) their hands to remove grease using a mixture of petrol,paraffin and sand- good on the grease but causing dermatitus at the drop of a hat- so he adapted the old stocking wash and named it after Swarf ((greasy grit) and eager!!!- adapted to ega!!!

Isn't that a great story!!!

Er...... Mary's Hair?????????????????

[belinda]

I love Rosemarys Baby too Now I gather Swarfiga is some kind of solvent

Graham!!!!!!!!!! Where's the Rupert pic????? Mega stroke for Joolz xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oooooops best move this to the Dids thread!!!!

[Graham]

Ooooooooooooh I lurve Swarfega!!-----------------and Rosemary's Baby- OMG what does that say about me??

WHERE WAS THIS THREAD????????? Oooooh yes H A I R !!!!!!!!!!!

Here's one you'll love, Suze.

Our old cat, the much-missed Rupert who shuffled off at age 18, got his long, long tabby fur all mussed up with engine-oil when he accidentally stepped into the tray I'd used when changing the oil in my car. We just kind of stood and stared at the poor soul for a while, then on a stroke of genius I got out the Swarfega, Rupert went into a filled bath, and in no time at all he was clean as a whistle and back to his old self as he raked us with his claws and teeth.

Our new cat is called Joolz, and sad to say he's a wooftah. Black as the ace of spades, and scrupulously clean. As I write this, he's sitting beside me sleeking down his eyebrows with a damp paw.

Cheers,

Graham
