I think the term "fascinator" to describe "hair ornaments" came about in the 1970s. (I think it was used to describe other kinds of head coverings centuries before.) When I was a boy, even my mother's slippers had heels. If she went barefoot even momentarily she would say she felt like she was falling over backwards.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-16612359381365014482013-12-11T18:55:32.067+01:002013-12-11T18:55:32.067+01:00Knatolee:
