new thread
I am new to the "net" and thrilled to find this and a couple of other sites which are devoted to or include references to women (and men) with their hair wet set on rollers. My own favorite is hair wet set on super jumbo rollers. If there is interest, I'd be happy to go into more detail (much, much more detail, if anyone wants, either on this site or by e-mail. If anyone wants to e-mail me, the address is amli@erols.com (but please wait until the week of 5-19, as my e-mail will not be activated until then). Meanwhile, I'd like to add several additions to Alan's (and others') list of roller sets in movies, etc. Two really good movie "hair sets": (1) "Coming Home," with ...(I forget her name; she's married to Ted Turner). There is a really exciting scene when she emerges from her bedroom into her living room with her hair wet set on huge rollers, a perfect, glistening set. The only problem is the room is mostly lighted by the TV which is on, so you don't get a very brightly lit shot. One interesting feature: there is a side view close up where you can see that her rollers are actually Olympia beer cans, a common way of setting hair on super jumbo rollers in the sixties. (2) A movie starring the witchlike TV personality Elvira (it may be called "Elvair, Queen of the Night"). Near the beginning of the film, just after the credits, Elvira drives into this small southern town, where her car breaks down with many loud bangs. A crowd gathers and she is confronted by two local townswomen, both of whom have their hair wet set on very large rollers. The only thing that keeps this one from perfection is the rollers are not all one sixe, somewhat ddetracting from the effect -- but still great closeups, especially rear closeups, of a middle aged woman with her hair in jumbo rollers. One other item worth special mention: there is a Spanish language pop video called "Papa sin Catsup" with incredible super jumbo roller shots. This message is too long already, so I'll tell more about it later, but if anyone can get it in the meantime, they will be thrilled. The singer's name is Gloria Trevi (or Tevi). Sorry for being so long winded -- but the topic of hair set on jumbo rollers gets me so excited I can't stop. Please e-mail me starting next week, and I look forward to many happy hours on this faboulous site.
