    1. Re: [FOLKS] Do you remember snoods?
    2. They came back into style a few years ago... I just found a couple in my daughter's things. (She has boxes in her room, moved out over 10 years ago. I told her to take them, or they were going to the Salvation Army - she said get rid of it). Anyway, there were two snoods, made of colored net, with a same color bow at the top. Kind of pretty.

Kind of pretty. Oh my goodness, how did I miss snoods coming back in fashion? Who knows but it's because I don't read the store ads or watch TV commercials any more. Still thinking of snood however, reminded me of the mandatory hairnets we had to wear when I was a waitress in the early 50s in North Carolina. They were made of almost invisible nylon netting but nonetheless they confined your hair close to your head. At least that's the way it was for me. I had/have very fine hair and even though I'd set my hair at night in tight pin curls and comb it out stylishly in the morning, all it took to flatten it right to my skull was a hair net. It made me look like the character from TV "Laugh In" of the 60s, especially with knot of the hair net showing conspicuously on my forehead. I guess in more modern terms, I looked like a dork and certainly not a glamorous dork at that. Just another memory, although a pathetic one at that! vee
