and think they resemble window valances.
Adele's comment on yesterday's blog made me remember why I abhor a single tier of valances.
They remind me of shorty-short bangs.
Balloon Valance? |
I had shorty-short bangs when I was a wee lass. But I didn't look adorable like this.
I my shorty-short bangs looked kinda like this. (Damned pixie haircuts!)
Do you see the resemblance between shorty-short bangs and window valances? Don't they have the same-straight-across, off-balance, serving-no-purpose, fringe-for-nothing look?
Damaged from a childhood haircut trauma, I take out my frustrations on window valances....
(PS: The client called me back today and wanted to hire me to stage her house. I passed.)
That's so funny! I never saw them that way, but now it will be embedded in my mind.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for standing firm with the client!
That's me--provoking thought on important subject like bangs! Thanks Heather.
DeleteI will have to check old family photos to be sure if that is the connection for me but I also do not care for valances. I haven't seen one in a while but I always thought of them as too short skirts.
ReplyDeleteWell, "Hi" Sami Pat! Welcome! I like your analogy about too short skirts--so true. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
DeleteNever liked short bangs! Never liked valances without drapery panels either....but never connected the two...funny!
ReplyDeleteI have too many pictures of little Linda sporting shorty-short bangs. Glad it made you smile. It is fun when my readers get my weird sense of humor!
