trendy hair color for women over 40 image
Baby Doll
I was just looking at some old pictures of my mother when she was young (back in the early 40's). People looked different back then. I know it could be their clothes, etc. I look at her today and she looks like the present time.
Why do you think people look different in their generation but when they reach today's time they don't look different anymore? I am focusing on the face and nothing else. So hard for me to explain, maybe you will know what I mean.
Answer
I remember seeing a picture of a friend of mine, when she was a young
teenager. She wore dark red lipstick and a very grown up hairstyle
and she didn't pluck her brows then. And she looked at 15 older than
she did at 26. I remember pictures of my mom and aunts when they
were teens, and they all looked mid 30's when they were only in their
mid teens. They were all chunkier, had thick bushy hair and curly, and
wore anklets with thick ankles. Their clothes were more loose and
not form fitting. They wore bulky coats and clunky shoes and lace up
oxfords in high school. They wore dark lipstick and blush and had
thicker brows also. It was a new trendy look that was preceded by
the flat wavy hair styles of the 30's. And every young woman wore more make up or darker toned makeup than they wear today. The makeup alone can change someone from a more light and natural shade to a harsher darker coloring. And the hair style can make all the difference in the world as someone gets older. Colors of clothes
changed along with the cut or curve of a style. Dark and drab colors
were more predominant in the 40's and reflects the dreary years of
the war going on. I look back and remember a downtown rush hour
with people in dark clothes. And pictures taken then were in black
and white. And to me as a child, I saw things in a black and white
world most of the time. People didn't wear the bright colors of today,
because they weren't available to technology. They didn't have the
dyes for one thing that we have available today, nor the synthetics
that were developed after I was young. People also had less hanging
in their small closets than they do today. Many had to wear the
same dresses as they did in the summer. You never saw an average
person being a clothes horse back when. Clothes were more secon-
ary in importance than they are today. People were more frugal, and
they put their extra money in a bank. There were no credit cards
to buy on whims, or keeping up with new styles and fads. Everyone
tended to make do. And if women did splurge, it was on a new hat,
or a new pair of shoes. Those two things, could update a wardrobe.
I remember how few clothes hung in my parents' closet. One evening
dress for going out dancing, one fur coat, a couple of skirts and
blouses and winter wear was folded in a drawer along with under-
wear and socks and sweaters. My dad had two suits and a couple pair
of slacks and a few dress shirts. His casual wear was limited to
some light blue khaki pants and a few short sleeved shirts. And since
there was only one closet it all was mashed together. It wasn't until
we moved to a larger house with a double sized closets, that more
clothes were added. And there were built in drawers inside the
closet for folded things.
My mother looked younger to me growing up, than she did as a
teenager. Just due to a changed shorter hair style and she stopped
perming her hair and began coloring it. She changed with the times
to different makeup that was more flattering. And her clothes followed
the trends but yet she didn't by fadish things. She was practical and
bought things to last. I think most people had that same mind set.
Since they were products of the Great Depression and WWII.

Compare and contrast Los Angeles vs New York City with positive details for both?
hh
I am writing a compare and contrast essay over both, and I'd like your opinions because I have never been to New York and grew up in LA so I am partial to it. My categories are: Style (fashion); People; Style of Living; Transporation; Types of Food; and Weather. So I need specifics for those. If any of my general topics can be improved, I'd like to hear those opinions as well.
Thanks :)
Answer
LOS ANGELES
Style- more laid back, wear whites, colors, sandals, jeans, a more "hair let down" style.
People- Everyone is on the phone, I think both cities. there isn't a major difference in people except in New York, there are many more men in business suits and women dressed professionally. I noticed there are a lot more Australians, Japanese, and British people visiting LA than in New York
Transportation- CARS,CARS, AND OH LOOK, A BUS.
Types of food- LA has a wide variety of foods, just like New York, but there is more Mexican, Korean, Japanese food in LA.
Weather- Does the weather in LA change?
NEW YORK
Style- Black is the color of choice for all, if not for most people who are fashionable. It's the fashion capitol of the western hemisphere! Even though New York is more formal than Los Angeles, New York definitely does "casual" in a very trendy way. As it is said, New York is where fashion starts and than it moves outward.
People- New York is very multicultural. The person right next to you is going to be very different. New York isn't as much of a playground as Los Angeles is. There is a somewhat seriousness that New Yorkers possess that no other people have, it's truly bizarre if you ask me. There are many more European and Canadian tourists in New York than there are in LA that I've noticed over the years.
Transportation-most people who commute into the city either ride the bus or the train. Cost of parking you're car in the city can run up to $40.00 an hour. Redic but true.
Types of food- ITALIAN, Chinese, French, and steakhouses are among the most popular. You know, the food of any region really shows the people who are living there, *wink*
Weather- Cold from december to march, starts to get warm in march until mid april. After Mid-april comes the serious HEAT AND HUMIDITY HITS YOU LIKE A WALL!!! Thunderstorms until June than just heat and humidity up until Late october when the crisp fall weather comes.
hope this helps :)
