Carol remembers getting ready for date nights in the 1950s and 1960s in her latest column. She writes, "When the day came for a date, I kicked things off by washing my hair in the kitchen sink. I had a big bonnet dryer and hair rollers, so I rolled my hair in the morning, and if it wasn't dry by early afternoon, I sat under that portable dryer." Comments | Permalink Older Photos
