The Great Pin Curl Experiment
February 23, 2011What Are You Wearing? 70s Time Warp
February 25, 2011So yesterday you saw the pin curls.
Today you can see the results!
Last night was the Poppy Valentine vintage event for Norwich Fashion Week and it went astonishingly well! The place was packed with people eating cupcakes and drinking fizz. I don’t know if I offered much in the way of styling advice as I appear to have spent much of the evening having my photograph taken by the Evening News or having my hair done by Flamingo Amy, but I did my best!
I shall start with the hair, as I know you’re all gagging to know how it turned out.
I actually quite like how it looked when the pins were removed, it’s got a kind of 20s feel once loosened up a little.
And… the finished results….
This next picture is from the Evening News gallery and is the result of a very long time stood on those spiral stairs! You get a better look at the other side of the hair in it.
Amy and I are both wearing Doris Day dresses in vintage fabrics.
And now onto the rest of the evening!
Flamingo Amy gave Claire of Poppy Valentine a fabulous 60s bouffant to go with her 60s style tunic dress and vintage jacket, and Amy herself was sporting a fantastic beehive!
Pretty Vintage bought along her vintage china for people to eat the yummy mini cupcakes from and coupe glasses for vintage cava.
The new Spring Summer fabrics were a hit, though most people are still in winter shopping mode. Several people had beautiful beehives created by Amy and many tips on pin curling and backcombing were dispensed!
One last collage of photos for you.

You and Amy both look spectacular!
It’s a pity I couldn’t make it, I wasn’t even back in Norwich until almost seven!
Looks like a good night.
your hair worked out lovely! I’d love to be able to beehive myself! my arms get too tired! Looks like you had a fab night – I love the doris day dress x
Looks like you had a fab time! Interested to see how long the set lasts for š And also – I like it before it was brushed out – tres Flapper š
Probably about 5 minutes. My hair is having a “dammit I want to be straight” hissy hit at the moment!
Love that pic on the spiral staircase, looks like a great night!
you look lovely, and that stair picture was well worth the standing about time!
You both look amazing!

You look fantastic! And your dress is gorgeous.
Those incredible beehives put my attempts to shame. I think I’m going to get practising a bit more!
You look wonderful! And what a pretty dress! š
Everyone’s hair looks great! Wish I could have made it… x
That Flamingo Amy is a bit nifty with the pin curls isn’t she?? It looks fab…I have to say that your face looks a little bit worried in the first unveiling pic before the curls dropped – it’s that nervous five seconds that you stare at it before you decide whether you like it!
You all look amazing! I am so jealous that you live so close to Amy, what a fabulous hairstylist. Look at Claire to – quite the vintage style queen š
I LOVE the dress Amy has on, are there anymore of them? I have to have one!

Very nice. I want to know how to get the stylist’s do as well!
Gorgeous hair! Both dresses are awesome. I love vintage fashion. And it looks great on you!
I meant to come along to this but couldn’t face going out in the horrible weather. Wish I’d made the effort now. Glad you had fun anyway x
I’ve got my eye on one of those Doris Day dresses. They’re so cute!
