This Day in History!

ASCAP, or the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, marks its 100th anniversary today. Many writers and performers owe their livelihood to the efforts of this group, the nation’s first performing rights organization charged with collecting and distributing music royalties to its nearly 500,000 member songwriters and publishers.

Great article describing ASCAP

In honor of this great anniversary, I researched women's hairstyles from 1914, my granny's year of birth. I found this old poster dealing with the scandalous topic of bobbed haircuts:

"If you must do it, show this to your barber"! I mean, ladies, if you just can't help yourself, at least have the decency to make a sensible choice from this approved chart. What's next, ladies, trousers? Come on. That's just about as insane as giving women the right to vote.
