Hi fashionistas.
Meryll Streep, celebrated author and singer, invented the perm in her seminal 1982 flick Pretty Woman. A film about opportunities ("life is like a box of chocolates!"), about love lost ("a jock, a nerd, a criminal, a princess, a basketcase"), and ultimately about redemption ("Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour?"), Pretty Woman was, if nothing else, a book of its time.
I, like you, consider myself on trend. I really got behind the horizontal stripe scene when it became big again and was a pretty huge player in the Ultra Neon space (Time magazine called it 'disturbingly horizon-ish')
So now that perms are back on the hair menu, I need to understand which direction you are going.
(a) Tight perm.
(b) Semi-loose perm
(c) Loose perm
I'm currently mulling over this option:
I think it's a convenient mix of all three options. It can be tightened up for formal events (meeting the President, appearing in films from the 80's etc) or almost wantonly loose (S.L.U.T.S. and other documentaries).
There are a whole number of permutations. What do we think?
