Hello, pretties!

helloprettysa:

This is going to be the Hello Pretty blog. As you can see, you have caught us with curlers still in our hair and our make up not yet applied!

Portrait of Jo Stafford, New York, July 1946

Give us a moment. We’re about to emerge looking and smelling divine.

Ordinarily i hate animated gifs. But since this one applies to so many people I love I felt a little sentimental about it.

I just learnt about a Japanese style/culture trend that originated in the 90s called Ganguro.

In ganguro fashion, a deep tan is combined with hair dyed in shades of orange to blonde, or a silver grey known as “high bleached”. Black ink is used as eye-liner and white concealer is used as lipstick and eyeshadow. False eyelashes, plastic facial gems, and pearl powder are often added to this. Platform shoes and brightly-coloured outfits complete the ganguro look. Also typical of ganguro fashion are tie-dyed sarongs, miniskirts, stickers on the face, and many bracelets, rings, and necklaces.

I just found this website when looking up a family member online. It is a pay-for service that also offers an amount of free information.

When I have a little more time (!!) and am back in South Africa with my family I plan to pay for a membership and spend some time capturing everything I know about our family. At least that way the information will be up somewhere.
