I’ve Been ThinkingBY CAB CALLOWAY
Just saw a sign in a beautyparlor over on 7th Avenue near57th street where some of thepretty chi chi gals have theirtresses curled, dyed, trimmed,knotted, shampooed in stale beerand rubbed with com meal. Thesign made me look twice, butthere was no doubt. This is whatit said
“The new sensation half ashsilver blonde.”
Explanation point, slow fade,end of paragraph.
I’ve been able to dig how thegals can go through that torturechamber treatment every week ortwo, even the half ash ones.
But I’ll tell you one thing. Don’tever talk to n fnr' ?bo nextthree hours after she has been toher beautieien. fit te screamat the slightest provocation, andthere’s no sense sticking your toeinto the the bear trap.
They go in at 10 a.m. andemerge at 4 pjn., beautiful. Atleast they are going to be beauti-ful when it wears off. Actually,they go in looking fresh and beau-tiful. They come out looking asif someone had been at them witha whin for six hours.
Their hair is stiff, knottedstuff which looks like a mediocregrade of Manilla hemp. Their facethe chest sinks, the step lags. Andis drawn. The shoulders droop,the disposition is something outof Grimm’s most gruesome fairytale. Sticks and snails and puppydog tails take on the charm of abouganvilla bush in full bloomas compared with their momen-tary outlook on life.
The male may be the strongersex, but I defy any of us to gointo a beauty shop at 10, have ourhair doused with beer, pulled,twisted into pin curls and thenbaked in a temperature whichparallels the temps of hades; haveour finger nails stabbed at; haveour face scrubbed with wirebrushes: have our limbs pulledand jerked and our hips pounded,and come out looking like morethan somebody’s idiot son.
That blonde may be half ash,but she’s stoical.

Columbia records is putting outan old dies of ours called “Ie Seea Million People” and they're go-ing to back it with the Peggy L«e-Benny Goodman version of thesame time. That's a novel ideaand it's a swell tune. Shucks, I’llbuy a copy.
I like Peggy Lee and BennyGoodman.
Someone just asked me whatthis week's column is about.That's the best question of theweek. I’ll give a box of Snickersto the first person who can tell methe answer to that one.
I write this column by tyingmy hands to a vibrator and hold-ing my fingers over a typewrit-er keyboard. If it makes; sense,that’s good enough for me. Bythe way, so long.
