Speaking of Shelly Duvall*

April 26, 2008 by WendyB

I loved the hairstyle on the woman towards the center of this photo.

Seen on Fifth Avenue earlier this week.

It reminded me of Shelly Duvall’s Olive Oyl hairstyle in Popeye.

If you want to look like Shelly/Olive but don’t have the hair for it, you can buy some of Shelly’s movie costumes here.

Olive Oyl’s coat

    How funny, the first thing I thought of was Olive Oyl’s hair when I read that headline, before I even saw the photo. You’re right, she does have that Olive Oyl hair. The coat is great, I agree with lynn^^^.

    Enjoyed catching up with your posts. Y’all have been making the rounds, and your husband calls ’em like he sees ’em, much the same as you do, WendyB. I like that about you and your blog. It’s eye-opening and thought-provoking. I’m glad that Fernando is part of the family, photos and all.

    Thank you, Lynette! I will sure miss Fernando when he’s gone. You’ll have to tell me how you coped with the departure of Flat Stanley!
