Hair Style for Safety WWII
Loading...
Uploaded by markdcatlin on Jun 7, 2007
In the early 1940s, American film actress Veronica Lake changed her trademark peekaboo hairstyle to encourage women working in war industry factories to adopt more practical, safer hairstyles. Veronica Lake was a popular American film actress who enjoyed both popular and critical acclaim, especially for her femme fatale roles in film noir with Alan Ladd during the 1940s. A stray lock of her shoulder-length blonde hair during a publicity photo shoot led to her iconic hairstyle which hid one eye, and was widely imitated

I was sporting a Veronica Lake hairdo and was actually told to put it up when entering a factory floor at one time:)

Oh Gawd! I used to work with a gorgeous petite stunningly pretty little blond who looked like Verinica Lake; come to think of it, she was actually WAY prettier than Veronica but you get what I mean. Oh the lost opportunities!
