Bad Hair Day
February 8, 2010 
Some things never change, I guess.
Like wanting to look good.
Here are some bas-relief figures from the Necropolis at Thebes. I think the 2 lower figures are male and the upper female. Isn’t it interesting that the faces look the same except for the little beard hanging from the chin of 2 of them. They even seem to be wearing the same basic style of jewelry.
Today we make such a difference between what is female/male style – girls wear pink/boys wear blue, women wear lipstick/men don’t, women wear bright colors/men subdued etc. Certainly style isn’t everything, but we think our society is far more gender equal than any before….. I wonder.

But notice that the guys have head dresses on which most likely indicate some powerful position. Ties today indicate a similar thing perhaps. The gals are empty headed?
Hope you're enjoying some sunshine.
