Hairdo #6:
This is an easy 'do that could be seen last week in my
polka-dot skirt-post. It's quick way to do something about your locks if your hair is a bit untameable after a wild night out or due to yesterday's curls, like mine at the moment; extra dry and textured of heat and hairpsray from a photoshoot the day before.
If you start from scratch you might like to curl your hair first to make it more easy to work with. It's easy to roll and secure your hair around a stick (I use the same decorated, glossy chop stick you've seen before; a life saver) and it can give you a sligthly exotic look if you so wish, especially combined with a flower.
So, here's how you do it:
If that was a bit too fast (and epilectic) for you, we can give it a closer look:
(Bare with me and the computer photos as it is an easier, although a perhaps less aesthetic way to do this -who knows, maybe I even at some point will give it a go at a
video tutorial. Oh my.)
Well - first, brush out the hair, it doesn't matter if it gets real frizzy.
Then separate the hair in the front with a rat-tail comb (fasten the hair in the back for the moment if you feel it gets in the way). Separate this part in three sections, roll each section towards your head, secure with one bobby pin stuck trhough the roll. I try to put the pin in just were the roll turns over so it won't show too well. You can lay the rolls as you like,
standing, more
flat, or more
inwards.(Click the links for examples)
Lately I've been sporting these
three rolls a lot as I'm growing out my bangs, and I've been rolling all three in the same dierction. Here I twist second roll more inwards, and lay it against my forehead, as well as the third.
Grab the section of hair on the side of your head, parting at the ear, and twist it upwards. (As seen before in
my very first tutorial.) Fasten it with a comb, or hair clip. Of course you can make a victory roll too, but we're not going to go all hi-fi here now (plus then you might have to count in a little bit more than five minutes for this one, unless you're a pro.) Repeat on the other side.
You can also leave it like this (it will look like
this do then) but if your really doing it the "day after" you most likely want to continue.
Grab the rest of the hair and twist it in to a round or banana shaped bun and stick the chop stick trhoug to secure it. Well curled "day afer" hair stays well in place with just the stick for me, but add some pins and hide them well on the sides if it feels unsecure. I have to add some pins at the neckline to tame those small annoying fly-aways.
To finnish the look of, add a huge flower, and spray if needed.
Then, go out and look great!

Some time ago I modeled hats for Fiona Timantti. Here are the results; the photos of her fabulous hats!
Last weekend, just before the rain came and the week-long heat ended, we drove out to a car club to shoot some poster pics for Helsinki Cruising Club.

Jackie O'Lantern has a mini Diana!
Oh, tires!
Pickaboo from behind my Taunus (which, although a great car, was not part of the shooting :)
Marko, the photographer. He's really good. He took these (<- click) for example.
So here's the story : Stupid girl who should think about everything else than shoes feels she has to get the green pumps and emails stupid Vagabond Finland who say these shoes were never brought in to the country (since stupid Finns can't appreciate the good stuff she interprets). She then emails evil Vagabond Europe who say the shoes will never ever be on the online store in size 37 ever again. Persistant shoe-girl does not give up but tracks them down at nice German shop who happen to carry them but not in size 37. Nice German shop has a wish list and silly shoe girl clicks it and receives an email one week later that the shoes are now in stock (lying evil Vagabond)! Nasty German shop does not ship to Finland not even though hopeful shoe girls emails them in very polite German and kindly asks. Obsessed shoe girl does not give up but get's a little help from wonderful Frollein in Berlin who orders the shoes herself and then sends them to mint-green-obsessed-shoe-girl in Finland. Oh, the wonders of the internet, now they are on her feet!
End of story.)
I made the daisy hair comb to go along with the dress, which has small daisies on it. 
La la la la with the bolero on.
Ladi dadi da without it on.
I wore my red dotted halter neck pencil dress to the coctail party the night before the actual wedding. I've sewn a big pearl button on to the bolero since it was a bit too big for me - I think it works pretty well!
My friend Olivia Rouge has now opened up her own shop-atelier. Not in my hometown though, but in hers; Tampere - find her at Mäntykatu 4.
Pictures from the atelier.
One lucky gal (or boy for all that I care) will win a silvery one.
And the other lucky one will win a gold one!
And, one little treat still before I pack my bags and head for a three-day wedding elsewhere;
Pom-poms!
Slightly inpired by the late 30's for a hat party my fellow Itty-Bitty Tease Cabaret girl Paula threw for her 29th birthday yesterday.
