Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: How the ‘Bob’ Changed History
On Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 7:30 PM (Pacific) I’ll present a history of the ‘bob’ hairdo.
No, I’m not abandoning my true crime obsession–there were many bobbed hair criminals and I’ll discuss a few of their cases.
If you love vintage style (and crime), please join me.

TCM says:
To cover the theft of the Koor-Hal ruby, newspaper editor Phil Bane calls in ace crime reporter George Melville. George arrogantly predicts to his fellow reporters the next crime to occur and is proven correct, as always. When an accident takes place outside the pool hall where the reporters congregate, George follows a suspicious woman, Claire Peyton, whom he sees begging one moment, then exiting a store in fancy dress only minutes later. George forces her to have dinner with him, and during the meal, she explains that she left a cruel husband for another man and then left him. That evening, she explains, she is to be allowed to see her daughter for the first time in years, but upon arrival, at her ex-husband’s house she discovers only a coffin.
