Pyjama Women

[Libertarian]

A headmaster in Belfast has ordered mothers not to drop their children off at school dressed only in their pyjamas. Good to see that these slovenly cows are not exclusive to Liverpool then!

I know my mother and grandmother used to be appalled by Liverpool missuses who would go out in their curlers. Do you still see that around the city???

[Libertarian]

I'm afraid standards have slipped since the days of Hilda Ogden who at least got dressed. Todays breed of chavettes go out in their night gear.

[Cadfael]

A woman that used to get on my bus to work always wore smart tops and her pink PJ's bottoms. To think that she's slept in em all night and then she's got em on all day too......:PDT_Xtremez_42:

[robbo176]

there are quite a few women who take their kids to my daughters school who come just in their PJs
some of them even change their pjs during the day & arrive at 3pm wearing a different pair:shock:don't know why they don't change into clean clothes:disgust:

[Sloyne]

I know my mother and grandmother used to be appalled by Liverpool missuses who would go out in their curlers. Do you still see that around the city???Chris I believe most of the women who ventured out of their homes in curlers were working mothers. These women usually had a full time job in a factory or bag warehouse some place and a family to feed at home which left them with very time to devote to themselves. They also had very little, if any, disposable income and could not afford the services of a hair dresser, unlike most middle and upper income women. These same working class women could not afford nylon stockings and so opted for the cheap alternative, leg tan. The jewelry and perfume (evening in Paris) they wore was usually Woolworth bought, except for a wedding ring and perhaps a sovereign or half sovereign passed down from mother to daughter. Their clothes were poor, well worn and many times repaired and, fashion wise, all to often years out of date. If they were lucky enough to have a husband who "went away to sea" they might, just might, upon his return from a long voyage, get a bottle of Channel #5 which they would cherrish and, when the bottle was empty, painstakingly refill it with distilled water and eventually leave the empty, rinsed, bottle in their drawer with their "smalls".

I know this because my late mother was one of those working class women, a lady in every sense of the word.

[Max]

Whats the big deal?

Most women who go out In their pyjamas are only going to somewhere like Tesco anyway. Why get dressed enough to go to somewhere like Tesco?

I've left my Pyjama top on sometimes when going out but I throw on normal pants.

[Max]

I never see the fuss In clothes anyway though, I only wear track pants and a t-shirt mostly because I prefer comfort over appearance. I hate shirts and jeans because I struggle to fit In them and sweat shows more In shirts.

I hate suits too and I'd only ever wear a suit for something like a funeral or a wedding out of respect. I'd have to go to that high and mighty shop In town for one!:eek:

[Kev]

Whats the big deal?

We are all aware, those born in the 1970 or before (mostly :unibrow:) how society has declined and this is just another example.

[Paul D]

They're just lazy tramps the lot of them.:PDT_Xtremez_12:

[Ernie]

:PDT_Aliboronz_11:I remember when was a kid,we had nothing to talk about.
But my granmother,had these hats in round boxes,she
always wore one when she went out.What she didn"t
know,was i used to borrow them,take the feathers out
and make a cowboy hat,so i could look the part playing
with my mates,she never caught me,God rest her.
Ernie.

[chippie]

nice story Ernie. Reminds me of when I gave the rag man some clothes I,d mustered together for a bow and arrow. Never knew whose the clothes were.:rolleyes:

[Sloyne]

They're just lazy tramps the lot of them.:PDT_Xtremez_12: Yeah Paul, but what do you really think about them.:?ol:

[CHRISMIZ]

nice story Ernie. Reminds me of when I gave the rag man some clothes I,d mustered together for a bow and arrow. Never knew whose the clothes were.:rolleyes:

I remember my mam cleaning the windows and my brother came in with a monkey on a stick, when she asked him where he got it from, he told her the rag man gave it to him. He had taken the curtains she had just taken down and swapped it for the toy. My man dragged him by the scruff of the neck around quite a few streets following the rag man, she got her curtains back and gave the ragman a load of verbal abuse, we laugh about this now, the poor man wasn't to know they were her best curtains.

[Paul D]

Yeah Paul, but what do you really think about them.:?ol:

I think they're an embarrasment to themselves and the city.How anybody can lie in sweaty clothes all night and then go out just proves they haven't had a wash,you can tell they haven't by looking at them.How any lad would want a woman like that is beyond me,throw a few chips down her pj bottoms and you have the English national dish if you get my drift,dirrrtty!:)

[Kev]

..and what girl would go out with the equivalent type of lad who has his hands constantly down the front of his trackie. Tax the hard workers and give to those who don't, laughin.

[sweetpatooti]

I'm just an ordinary mum - and I'm not perfect - but I get up an hour before my kids every morning to get myself ready first - hair, make up and clothes - before dropping the youngest off at my mum's on workdays or before I see her to the school gate on the days I don't work. I maintain my standards as an example to my children of how they should conduct themselves. couldn't face the world if my hair and make up wasn't done and properly dressed - I might frighten the horses!!!!!

[shytalk]

Sweetpatooti,
Luvya girl keep up your standards, pity there aren't a few thousand more like you.:hug:

[Lady]

I seen one woman in as*a the other day in her PJs.......kipper full of makeup, you could smell the perfume, BUT, you could tell she had slept in the PJs because they had creases in where they would have rolled up in bed, :disgust: and the cheeky mare was looking other women up and down..:rolleyes:
And the lads doing that...................hope they fall off :)

[Max]

Why are we bothered about other peoples appearances?

**** them, It's upto them If they stink or not, there not really bothering anyone because of the way there dressed.


We are all aware, those born in the 1970 or before (mostly ) how society has declined and this is just another example.

It's onlty declined In their minds because some of them refuse or can't keep up with Modern times. The People before them probably spouted the same stuff.

[Ernie]

:eek:
I was on a bus going to town,when one of those pyjama girls sat next to me.The stink was ruthless,and i couldn"t leave my seat because the bus was full.Everyone must have a bath or a shower these days.
Ernie.

[lindylou]

Mondays and Tuesdays in the post office .. to be avoided because there is often a pong in there after the long queues out to the door all morning (are they pay out days or something ?) - not just me saying this - it has been noted by other neighbours. There is a definate aroma. :neutral:

the pyjama gang, the alchies and smackheads all emerge to queue up - then they disappear until the next time.

[Jericho]

Dirty mares, smackheads and winos. Sounds like a future production at the Everyman :PDT_Aliboronz_11:

I have a friend in Texas who tells me there are pyjama women in her town too. Or should that be pajama.

Aye the British spelling is "pyjama" but the American is "pajama" -- I say tomarto and you say tomayto, ha ha.

[Sloyne]

Hi Sloyne

Many thanks for this reminiscence. I appreciate it, Sloyne. You are most welcome but, was the point missed? I think not.;)

[Max]

What about the stink of clean womens perfume? Thats as bad most of the time.

[lindylou]

yes, some people put too much on and it's overpowering.

[Shapers]

No need for dirty smelly sweaty unkept people. Its vile. They should be dragged to the nearest laundrette and made to handwash there clothes and give themselves a good scrub while there at it by the Smell Police. Its horrible when you have to work next to one. I've worked with several smelly people whether be in a office or a shop floor and its a long day next to them. Its selfish and unhygenic.

[Max]

As long as they don't stink though they could wear spandex.

[lottie]

I'd be embarrassed to wear pyjamas going shopping. I admit i've nipped into my local in the evening when i've run out of milk etc, BUT my husband has taken me in car and i have a coat or long cardigan covering me. I run straight in then out, hoping i don't meet anyone i know. This is very rare.To actually go out and wander is just lazy.

[Shapers]

Some pyjama women smell nice, they seem to go to all the effort of washing and having clean pyjamas on, so hy not go the extra yard and put some clothes on.

[Max]

I still wouldn't mind some stink either.:unibrow:

[Store 3]

i think i,m getting an old prood, time seem,s to-be moving faster & faster.
time,s are changing .....i think there should be a dress & language code...
to many people & children swearing , these girls with pram,s getting on
buses & not breaking them down what if somebody falls over them who,s
to blame........that,s my moan of the day......ta-ta

[lindylou]

You are quite right to moan.

Swearing is well out of hand. It's quite a 'normal' thing now for mothers to use the 'F' word freely to their kids - I hate it when they swear at little toddlers. :disgust:

[EddTheRed]

I have to admit, people out & about in PJs do look slovenly to me - but then, T-shirts would have been considered underwear not so long ago. Times change. In one sense, I think it might be healthy to have a sort of 'anti-fashion' fashion (if that makes sense).

Uncleanliness is another matter, though!

[Ged]

Do you think we're regressing in our fashion then. Might we one day be walking around in the nack carrying clubs going ug ug - what's that you say, they do already on some estates!

[John(Zappa)]

Pojama people I regard as lazy.Can't be bothered dressing themselves.

Why couldn't he run in and run out?

[lindylou]

yes I'd send my husband for the milk ! :unibrow:

[lindylou]

Listening to breakfast tv this morning they were asking people what they would be doing for 'Children in need' - - a group of young ladies said they are going to walk around wearing pyjamas all day.






wonder what they would think if they came to Liverpool and find that it is every day attire ! :PDT_Xtremez_42:

[Ged]

They asked the women of Liverpool what they were doing for Children in need and they are going to get dressed for the day :ninja:

[lottie]

I go in because i want to, he does sometimes i was just saying when i DO i wear a long cardigan/coat. Ged very good :PDT_Piratz_26:

[chippie]

When I was in Liverpool the other day I was walking down Breckfield Road North and coming towards me was this enormous a**** woman in p.j,s waddling towards me. She had another young woman behind her and must have asked her for some money as the first woman turned around to her and bent down over her bag and I saw her big white bottom. I didn,t know whether to get my camera out and run, well hobble, away or what. I was thinking of this thread as I smiled on my way.:)

I find the best place to spot "pyjama woman" is just outside the Royal Liverpool Hospital. It's not just the female patients have a quick fag ( whilst often attached to their drip stands) but also those attending the hospital for clinics etc. I suppose the rationale is that if I get admitted , at least I'm properly dressed.

[Kev]

Pyjama women are a dying breed, there's a new craze doing the rounds >>

Women with who go out with curlers in!!!!!

Yes I've noticed that one too. Probably the cash crunch that's going on. More women are doing their own hair rather than going to the hairdressers.

Perfect excuse for a belter of a tune

I saw a woman the other week going to the shop in her dressing gown :rolleyes:


it's all down to lack of personal respect isn't it - I mean, not caring about your appearance or how scruffy you look. It's been a gradual decline in standards.


Remember in the 1950s/60's when some women went around in curlers and head scarf - - - I wonder if that was the equivalent the modern day PJ brigade ?

[macateb]

Is that a curler for every footballer she's shagged? :PDT_Xtremez_42:

[Ronijayne]

I don't understand it at all. The PJ's or the curlers. My Grandmother would not go out to buy a paper without the hat and gloves on and my mother always put make up on before she went out, hair done every Saturday!!

I feel bad if I run out for milk and have not showered yet that morning! Can't wait to get back and shower!

Why do these women do it? Do they think it is cool or just not care how they look?

[Paddy]

I think girls look nice in overalls. I remember the Girls coming out the factories in Speke and Garston. I dont like some girls attitudes these days. Women should have the monopoly on morality, blokes will go along with anything. So dressing tidily and decently sends out the right signals.Culture is projected by fashion and image, walking around slovenly projects a could'nt care less culture. I was in a pub in Watford and a teenager was passing round a three month old baby for her mates to see. Everyone had smelly beer breath how romantic :rolleyes:

[naked lilac]

Curlers are a thing of the 50's, early 60's... I remember my mum wearing a scarf around them..along with others in that era..if they were going out that night..No blow dryers, no curling irons, etc... So, the woman did this at times.. I was only little then.. but, do remember that...Never dressing in pj's though.. That is just being lazy...

There is NO excuse these days for such.. Not with curling irons, hairdressers, and dryers.. That pic of Danielle Loyd, might of been taken coming out of her trailer before a photo shoot.. I double doubt she was in public.. Definitely posted by some camera dude trying to make a name... Woman in her field, do not wear curlers in public. In her defense.. it looks like she was being polite, but, was off to a photo shoot in the area.. NO harm done.. and not one for others to follow...

I work on many movie sets, doing hair.. YES, we put actress's in curlers.. they walk around sometimes, just before a shoot.. so, their hair stays fresh for the take.. Not out in public.. People , don't be taken by pictures alone..

Woman should dress like they like.. but, pjs in public are not the norm..

[Broliv]

If i'm being honest i think it's selfish and lazy. Its not the appearances that I'm bothered about its the cleanliness. How selfish can you be that you don't wash yourself or get into clean clothes when going out? It's filthy, it spreads disease. What about the people who have to serve them in shops, or the people who sit in the seats on the bus or train that they have been on.

If you went into a shop and were being served by someone who stank of ****, was wearing pj's, hadn't done their teeth would you want to touch em? or touch anything they've touched? I wouldn't, i'd be on to the manager.

I've gone past loads of them and don't smell a thing.

So called cleaner people stink more spraying too much deodourant or perfume on them like they have something to hide or they over do their hygene. Theres snobs who were on the trains spraying perfume on the seats before they sat down when I was going home from New Brighton.

It hardly spreads disease, most only go out In pyjamas In the shops because thats all there doing sometimes. Whats the point of getting ready just for going to a local shop and then back home?

Sometimes for camera trips I change clothes and skip the rest to save time because I'll only be going home afterwards anyway and I usually shower twice a day anyway and don't feel that dirty.

The Shanghai people are doing It as a sign of prosperity though and most of them probably wash.

I hope so.

Howcome people don't frown so much on fellas In the summer walking around topless though? They'll let off a stink when sweating. Women topless In the summer stangely doesn't get thought of as acceptable If they wanted to do It though.

Now they?re shopping in pyjamas in Shanghai!
Jan 17 2009
by Kirsty McHale, Liverpool Echo

LIVERPOOL?S much-maligned craze of wearing pyjamas in public is getting the good people of Shanghai hot under the collar.

The dubious fashion statement has caught on in Liverpool?s twin city.

In the bustling port it is regarded as a public display of wealth meaning PJ-wearers are rich enough to buy clothes just to sleep in.

But the craze could be short-lived because a campaign is underway to ban pyjamas in public.

A neighbourhood committee in the north-eastern region of Rixin has launched the No Pyjamas Outdoors campaign.

They branded the pyjamas habit ?visual pollution? and the committee?s secretary Guo Xiling described the look as ?very uncivilised?.

[Partsky]

Does anyone remember the idiot "style monitor" in the Echo a couple of years back, cheering on the Pyjama Women for creating a new trend and saying she thought it was "funky" (a word only used by people too old to use it to make them sound hip) Style moron more likely. Its laziness and sloth, you silly woman, that makes these such a terrible example to their poor kids. I love me pyjamas and live in them after kids home, tea and homework done, CSI is on then I feel ready to snuggle up on the couch and have some me time. Its not a pretty sight but thank God it neve leaves our front door.

Grow up you Woman. You are a blight on the City.

Me and my older siser once took a hard to let on Boode Croft on Cantril Farm and legent went about that we were both,as we now say, sex worker,because "there are lad there all the time (called Brothers; we have five of them) and we never, ever went the Moby in our slipper.

Our view of them was "daft provocial divs"

[Hairytoes]

Im sure Lacoste would do a roaring trade with the Liverpool Chavettes is they made a set of PJs.:celb (23):

Just stick a badge on and charge them 80 quid.:unibrow:

From a mans point of view I probably wouldn't be complaining if they were running around in nighties

I see alot of them In the Tesco by me, hopefully alot of the Uni students from the greenbank halls do this.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

[burkhilly]

I was passing McDonalds in Kensington around 11am - at which time I saw three girls around 18yo all in pink checked pyjamas, they had obviously slept in them because they were creased. This is a horrible trend IMO.

[Paddy]

Give me a girl in a nighty any day, or any night:ninja:

[LondonBeatlesFan]

I've heard about this trend but have yet to see it. It doesn't happen in London.

[lindylou]

.. and men walking around in shorts.

You know last night - - that gale force freezing wind and rain ? .. there was a fellah striding down our street - wearing a hoodie with the hood up, and Don Estelle shorts !!



I seen a fellah once a long time back, in the post office wearing cotton boxer shorts :shock:


Wonder when this trend started for blokes wearing shorts all the time - no matter the weather ? I notice most postmen wear then all the time now as much as possible - they must think they are in Australia !! Only severe weather conditions deters them ( but not that bloke in our street last night!!)

[LondonBeatlesFan]

Well, lindylou, I'm happy to tell you that they are braver than I am! I would never wear shorts with my funny legs, and particularly not in winter. When I go out at the moment, I wear thick trousers, jumper, scarf and a padded jacket!

[sfarley]

It's all about pride - where is the pride in these women who wear PJs during the day?? Isn't it nice to get up, showered, dressed and a little spray of perfume, hair done etc - it makes you feel nice and gives you pride in yourself. What's the matter with that?
It is also courteous to the people who may deal with you during the course of the day. It gives you a purpose for the day.
In addition, if my daughter even thought about going out in her pyjamas, I would lock her bedroom door - just the thought of anyone seeing her would bad for her and extremely worrying for me.

[Ronijayne]

It is about pride. I met a British guy last month who had dirty hair and close up to him he had an unwashed smell. It was at a cocktail reception too and everyone had made the effort to have a bit of a dressy look going even though most of them came straight from the office!

[Ged]

I thought you meant our Joey there for a minute but he ain't been invited to no Cocktail receptions just lately.

[Max]

I saw one In a trackie go out on Rose Lane out the gym with curlers In her hair for the first time a couple days ago.

The curlers look daft though, Pyjamas It might depend on how chav they are.:smoke::smoke:

'have they slept in those all night and then actually ventured out in them afterwards' OR 'have they just put them on to go shopping and walkabout in etc, only to go home and wear the same ones for bed'?????? Either way it's gotta get a big EEEEEWWWWW from me as I think it's so unhygienic no matter what way you look at it! :disgust:

I'm a firm believer of women taking care of how they look as I think this shows a feeling of self respect and in turn , gains respect from others who see you.

Believe it or not ~ I can't even bring myself to answer the door to the postman in my PJs and have had many a parcel sent back to the dreaded depot because I haven't been dressed, or had my face & hair done! GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! .

I have to agree with others on this, and say that this 'daytime pyjama wearing fad' is unfortunately down to sheer laziness :rolleyes:

P.S. Lindylou ~ I too hate to hear Mums swearing in front of or at their children and am truly saddened by the effect it will undoubtedly have on them in the future. (Where's a Sad smiley when you need one?) :-(

I agree. I too am a firm believer in taking a pride in your appearance.
I never lounge about in nightwear ! I get dressed in tidy clothes no matter what. I wear eyeshadow and mascara and a squirt of perume every day even if I am staying in doors.


re mothers swearing;
I see it all too often. At the shops or the local school run. It's horrendous some of the foul language I've heard coming from the mouths of mothers to their little kids. It's disgusting to talk to a little child like that :disgust:

[Debra]

I don't go out in my p.j.'s either , but having a headmaster 'order me' to NOT wear pyjama's would be a bit much .. He has no right to order any body to dress in a certain way outside of his school , some young mum's have a few kids to get ready in the mornings , and sometimes it's a rush to get dressed , i would'nt call them slovenly cows at all , i see some mums rush back home , clean the house , get dressed , go shopping pick the kids back up , cook tea , and so on , not all Pyjama wearing girls are slovenly cows , it's a hard job having kids ..... Maybe the headmaster can swap places with a mum of say , three or four kids for week ...

[kdraper42]

I was over last year and was told about these women wearing PjS DURING THE DAY and could not believe what I was seeing!! And they were mainly in Bootle, dont know if that was particular to Bootle , but that is were I saw them , what on earth is in their heads, they are a disgrace to Liverpool , no wonder the rest of the country is laughing and skitting at Scousers. I live in Australia and I hold my head up high when I tell people that I am a died in the wool Scouser, and proud of the fact , but these divies are a scurge on our city. they should be jailed for their disgraceful behavior.

"Jailed for their behaviour" ! Don't you think that's taking things a little too far K.Draper ? What next ? jailed for not having a job .. or jailed for having more than one child , how about we start flogging single parents ? we live in a democracy not a communist state , i don't agree with anyone going out in a undressed state , BUT it's still their right to do so , and nobody not even the headmaster should 'order' anyone to dress in a certain way , he has no juristriction over what the mothers of children wear to school .

[kevin]

Having just spent 3 days in Liverpool, on 4 occasions I saw women out in pj's. I just find it odd. My wife saw a woman in muddy Stanley Park walking her dog - in pink fluffy slippers. Odder still.

[ItsaZappathing]

The ones who wear Pj's for the shops etc I refer to as "scruffy lazy tramps". That's all they are.:PDT10

You may not like seeing pyjama clad women but there are far, far worse things to do. Live and let live is what I say!

I saw a woman the other week going to the shop in her dressing gown

She was lucky to have a shop in her dressing gown. We had to walk down the street to get to ours.

I remember when the Pope came to Liverpool in the 80's , my mate was stood outside of the Cathedral in a head full of rollers , she was going out later that night , the shame of it , i wonder if Ged could dig out a picture of that one ...:)

I was a bit over the top Debra re jailing them , these girls obviously dont have any pride in themselves. or realise how they look, must not look at themselves in the mirror.from the front or the back

[scouse smurf]

They could at least wear sexy nighties if they have to go out in their nightwear lol

As for the roller wearers, they should all have their hair shaved off.

The only time i've worn pyjamas in public was when I was discharged from hospital and was rushed out. I can't believe people wear them as a fashion statement:eek:
I am also sick of the rough looking people who hang around the Royal's entrance smoking like their life depends on it. Last time they seem to have disappeared , let's hope it continues as it's not fair on patients.

I spotted this article in The Mirror today (29.1.10) and just had to post it in here!! :-)


A Tesco store yesterday banned shoppers from wearing pyjamas, nightgowns and slippers.

And mum-of-two Elaine Carmody, 24, became one of the first casualties of the ban. She said: "I walked in with my trolley and the security guard came over and told me to leave.

"I've got lovely pairs of pyjamas, with bears and penguins on them. I've worn my best ones today, just so I look tidy........(click link below for rest of story)..

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/01/29/bananas-in-pyjamas-115875-22003152/

On casting my vote in poll at the bottom of page, the latest figures were ~ 81% FOR Tesco's being RIGHT to ban the woman and only 19% AGAINST. What does that tell ya?
I wonder if any other Supermarket will bring out this ban now too.... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/SueFitz77/Cute%20and%20Funny%20emotions/Ermrollseyes.gif

[Partsky]

As I walked through Kirkby Town Centre today a beautiful young girl was walking towards me with her hair in the biggest curlers I have ever seen and was wearing pink pj bottoms under a coat. She was holding the hand of a gorgeous little girl who was beautifully dressed. Whilst she was walking along she was loudly effing and blinding into a mobile. Generally I am a Libertarian but you lead by example................or dont, as the case may be.

[Ronijayne]

I would not go to bed in a business suit or evening gown nor would I leave the house in bed clothes! It is a horrible thought!

[naked lilac]

Had to run down 6 flights of stairs once, 'cause of a fire alarm..Dead of winter in Chicago...My 2 roomates and myself had pj's on (thank God), and slippers (thank God) .....Got to the bottom, out the door and some nice bloke took us across the road for a hot coffee in some cafe...BUT, that was out of necessity...I sure wouldn't do that otherwise...

No excuse for laziness.. Lots of woman are single mums, and have a job too, and get dressed and then go shopping.. Hawaii is very slack when it comes to clothing.. Ya see some in swimsuits, just parading down the streets and no cover up... Most places require some coverup and slippers.. This curler thing going on there is ridiculous.. Think it yells!!! I want attention...

[smudger95]

My wife goes to hairdressers on Saturday afternoons, and I wait in the car. Lawrence Road has many with PJ's on and massive curlers in their hair
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

[Oudeis]

smudger95,
I, for one, am grateful that you offer no photographic evidence of what you say. Is this not the West's version of purdah? Where women can be themselves outwith the lustfull gaze of the male? Here I am supposing that these sights were not in the least alluring to you.

And, I hear also that there is a action-faction in Liverpool organising protests today outside branches of Boots against the selling of Homeopathic remedies.
Will the city ever be free of displeasure?

I would arrest them and put them in a hospital mental ward. After all, they are already dressed for it.

Curlers in the street!!!!!! I can't believe it. If someone walked down Madison in curlers we would assume she was headed for the Lexington Avenue Women's Homeless Shelter!!! Disgraceful!

[lindylou]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/rubinda/avatars/lol.gif you're right Ronijayne. They do look like they've wandered out of a hospital ward.

[Debra]

Well Debra has a confession to make , yesterday i went to the hairdresser and she put curlers in my hair , yes i left the hairdressers with a head full of curlers and drove home with them in !

[lindylou]

well, that's not too bad Debra, at least you are in your car- like being in your own little bubble :)

[Debra]

Yes Lind , and it was just over the road from me , the thing with the curlers is , not many hairdressers have those dryer things anymore , those ones that my mum used to sit under for hours ... So with the revival of 'BIG'' hair , comes the revival of curlers ! And i do seem to remember a lot of women walking around in curlers when i was a child , they covered them over with a head scarfe !

[lindylou]

Yes, they did.

And i do seem to remember a lot of women walking around in curlers when i was a child , they covered them over with a head scarfe !

Doesn't the hair cutter dry it before you leave with a regular hair dryer?

[Oudeis]

Ah yes me too Lindy , i was a hair model for a while , i had to let them do anything they wanted with my hair .. Gosh when i think back !!

Dio they do it while you wait, Debra?

[Debra]

No Roni jayne , i had my hair washed and blown dry , then set with large curlers that had to stay in for a couple of hours at least , as i said to Lindy , gone are the day's of the stick your head under the dryer , it's all different now , it's like a set and go ! And it's nothing new at all , our Mothers have been doing it for years .. Oh they were not in thier PJ's though i hasten to add .

[Debra]

Dio they do it while you wait, Debra?

Yes , they do it while you wait Oudeis , but who has three hours to spare in the hairdressers ... As i said to Roni it's a 'set and go' , these girls might to some look common with thier curlers in , but go into any city center bar on a weekend , and you'll see the end result of thier efforts , they all look very beautiful . I'm not talking about PJ's here .. just curlers .

[Ged]

Yes, they did.



re hair; I've just being saying to Ronijayne, I've had every style in the book ! :)


Betcha never had the sinead O'Connor look ;)

Remember it well....Early 60's,coming out of some factory in Kirkdale,big hair,contained by a scarf,with flatties,and mens socks,pretty fearsome looking,I thought, at the time!!

The women were more high matenence back then in my opinion , my mum took hour and hours to get ready , i used to have to sit in the hairdressers with her , surrounded by toxic fumes and ciggie smoke .. By the time they were ready some of the hairsyles resembled Mozart ! And the size of the false eyelashes .

[Ronijayne]

My mother went to the salon every Saturday afternoon too. She never wore rollers outside though and would have killed me if I did.

I got false lashes and wore them for three days and never again! Too much trouble to put on and I was 'aware' of them the whole time. I just used more mascara, lol

[naked lilac]

Well, the way we do it in the movies..for beautiful full hair is: You put the hair up with Heated rollers.. Then, in about 15 minutes or less.. walla!! Full hair.. Or use a curling iron..wrap the hair..Then take the iron off, and pin the curl in place till it cools.. You can use the velcro rollers after the heated if you want, while putting on the makeup, and then it cools and you take out.. Use a light hair spray and it will stay...
Every salon I know of, and some nice ones ....have hair dryers.. Some rotate around the head to dry the hair..ha ha ha... Anyway, still don't need to parade around in rollers.. I don't care what they say.. You time your hair curling for the time you will be going out.. Not all day long till cocktail time.. Just plain ATTENTION is calling..

yeah, women wearing mens socks Ugh! what was all that about ! looked horrible I thought. Must have been to keep their feet warm while working in a cold factory perhaps ?

My mum still to this day won't leave the house unless her hair is perfect. She wouldn't be seen dead in rollers outside of the house tho' She is never seen without her smart clothes, and she wears her bit of makeup and jewellry everyday. I can honestly say I've never seen my mum looking untidy or scruffy. She's in her 70's and looks fantastic.


re false eyelashes: The first pic of me in the 'Yo fashion statements' thread - you can see me wearing false eyelashes :) I loved them and often wore them right thru the decades with all the different fashions.
They can be quite comfy and ok to wear when you get used to them and put them on correctly.

I remember when we used to smear eyelash glue along our eye lids and stick glitter on !! :eek:
These were the days before they invented glitter eyeliner ! We looked fab but boy was it hard and scratchy to remove !! OMG, it's wonder we had any eyelids left !!

Thats what i had done , the hairdresser washed and blowed my hair into place , my hair is long so the rollers had to stay put for a couple of hours while i had my bath and applied my make up ! Thus i hd to leave the hairdressers with them in my hair ..
I understand about how they do it in the movies , but they have whole dressing rooms and trailers , and an army of make up and hair techs , we dont have that privalge .
But when the girls in Liverpool have finished getting ready , they would put any hollywood actress to shame ..

Also the whole going out in rollers was started by Collen Rooney , wife of footballer Wayne Rooney , she was photographed coming out of a salon in Liverpool wearing a head full of curlers , the young ones were quick to copy this , it's a sort of 'street' syle in Liverpool right now , it may not be to everyone's liking but it's the way it is .

[pablo42]

Yes, my golden locks...

re hairdressing: Just an aside - but young, up and coming hairdressers training up, have never done a perm - or can't do perms as they've no experience of them. There is no call for them now - or at least very little call for them .. hardly anyone having perms these days. Some of the older generation - the pensioners who still want them - say they it's getting harder to find a hairdresser who does perms.
It's all cuts and colours now. I can't imagine perming ever coming back.

I have a curling iron so quick and easy, takes a few minutes. Don't need to pin curls as it is more for body as my hair is ultra straight .

I would never perm mine again, chemicals destroy your hair. But back then in the late 70's or whenever it was it was 'in' After 3 perms to keep my 'fro' up I never did it again

My mother (in Liverpool) still goes weekly for her 'do' too!!!

Girls look better without curlers though.

In reply to Debra taking my quote and elaborating:

No ..No army of hairdressers.. Just one person doing one persons hair while working in our trailers.. Its' not having the privilage of such, Debra.. And, any person who takes the time to improve their looks for an occasion, or whatevers... Bravo to them.! That wasn't the point.. and I wasn't putting you down (if you had to wear you rollers to your home).. etc..

Personally, you now have solved the question....WHY? The answer : Collen Rooney trend.

Okay then... got the picture now.. Like Victoria Becketts wife.. and how people copied her hair...
Tis the Way it is .......lol...Trends come and go... Quess its a Liverpool thing right now.. as you so state... Hollywood actresses have better things to do than parade around in rollers, and they are the ones the YOUTH of the world, and older people do Copy.

I rest my cast... and I am sure everywhere in this world have pretty woman.. Don't have to compare oneself with anyone else to be pretty....

Trends are attention callers... so...Thats' MY opinion... I was just trying to help someone with hair tips if they so wanted... Quess I was mislead in assuming...... LOL

[Debra]

To Naked Lilac , your advise on hair was appreciated , that was not the point of my reply to you and the rest of the forum ..
I was pointing out how it is here in Liverpool . I know how things work in the industry , i was a model for many years , also i have worked both sides of it , hair and beauty for a long time ...
My reply was in no way meant to be demeaning to you or your advise .
Debra .
