First up, Clean Gene unearthed a photo of Mr. Ray in action. It looks like a tv appearance as everyone is wearing microphones. The search for Mr. Ray continues (no, he's not the same Mr. Ray of John Waters' movie fame.) This Mr. Ray was from Knoxville, we believe, and the author of two of my beauty bibles, "Cut, Blow, and Go with Mr. Ray," and "Mr. Ray's Golden Styles." My best pal, Mavis Martini, found them at a flea market and lovingly copied every single page for me.
King of Fabulon Thom sent me this. I have always loved two-tone bouffants.

Brava! Bravissima!
I'd swear the girl on the right at Mr.Ray's salon is Myra Hindley, the notorious "Moors Murderer" of the Sixties (google her and see). It seems anybody who was anybody wanted a do from Mr.Ray.
Omigod, she really does look like Myra Hindley! Do you suppose the svelte blonde on the left is Ruth Ellis?
She does look like Myra, but she's too ... lighthearted. Or is that only because I keep seeing Myra's mugshot in my head?
Myra Hindley and Ruth Ellis at Mr. Ray's salon... now that's a John Waters movie.
i want to bring back the two-toned bouffant and call it "the mitzi."
There's something about the black underneath peeking out from the pounds of bleached blonde above that really appeals to me. Especially in this photo ... she looks like she can barely support the weight of that hair!
