We apologize for getting this post up late, as we were on vacation in Hawaii and not where we had reliable wireless service. Hurricane Anna gave us a scare while we were there, after we could not change our flights to get out early, but she ended up being downgraded to a tropical storm right before hitting us. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes!
I’ve wanted to film this Rosie the Riveter tutorial for a long time now, but knew that it was fitting for our Halloweeen #CGHSpooktorials series this year.
Rosie is a cultural icon here in the United States. She represents those women who were needed to work in industry while the men of the time were called up to serve during World War II. Because of this, and other sacrifices women made at the time, she is an icon representing feminism and economic industry.
The basic fundamentals of this hairstyle include a pin curl and a messy bun. Accented with a red bandana, this hairstyle comes fairly close to the style seen in Rosie’s ever-famous “muscle” pose.
