Maybe in a female lock-up?

I have lots of hair (still) and it was an easy style to maintain - just wash and wear and out the door in the morning to teach. The whole cut was done with a razor, so maybe I was having my hair filed.

P.S. We have some great comedians here! Who says historians are stodgy old bookworms? And, Maddie, I hate emoticons, but your little green one above is great.

I know he's great. He seems to convey the kind of on line chortle one sometimes needs to express.

Welcome to the new un-reality show "Prison Makeovers"
I can't wait to see what y'all do with Mrs. Surratt
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

I see a Texas Big Hair coming... She'll probably need some extensions and maybe some of the new trend of weaving colored tinsel into the locks?

Are we being disrespectful?

When I was a kid the brush cut was "normal" this was pre-Beatles guys. People would say to me: "Billy, you got your ears lowered!." In Lew's case, what would the observation be be? Probably will get "gallows humor" on this one-wow-no pun intended!

She looks most fetching! Not sure if that tee shirt would meet with approval back in the day though.Big Grin

Betty, I didn't notice it at first, but the t-shirt was a nice touch.

Sometimes you have to have fun with history.....

Certainly NO disrespect to either Mr. Powell or Mrs. Surratt is intended....

I'm sure they'd appreciate the fun.
