Mary and Pat, 1972

You can see they are sisters !

Yes, though similarity ended with looks and expressions (thank goodness)!

They had skillfull hairdressers ;)

They might have done it themselves...I don't remember! ;-o

Goodness, I do remember that time;-) Thank god hair these days is easier to manage.

Ohhh, I couldn't stand to do all of that now, I used to even sleep in my rollers so my hair would look good for school. Ugh! Now, it just does what it wants...

Good to be free now! :)

Yes, the "wind-blown" look!

My Mum had trousers (ok, pants) exactly like your Mum's!

Argh, they're awful, but they were all the rage! I guess old golfers and the young avant garde wear them now.

A lovely picture Diane. I have some photos of my mum's American penfriend who she started writing to in the 1940's until the lovely lady died in the late 1990's. I used to love looking at them when I was a child because she looked so glamorous. I will have to look them out as I have my late mother's photos and treasure them so much.

I would love to see them uploaded here, Rosa! (I had a Japanese pen pal in the mid 1950s to early 1960s.)

My first thought was "What amazing hair!"

Hahaha - I'll bet! At the time, I would tell her it was too poofy, but she ignored me. I tried...

My Mom used to take her long hair and put it in a French braid -- her hair was quite thick and I could never figure out how she managed to get it looking so neat !
Inherited her 'thick hair gene' ... have enough for 3 people.. at least !
