Historical hairstyles.
Conk and Pompadour.
"The conk was a hairstyle popular among African-American men from the 1920s up to the early-to-mid 1960s. This hairstyle called for a man with naturally "kinky" hair to have it chemically straightened using a relaxer called congolene, an initially homemade hair straightener gel made from the extremely corrosive chemical lye which was often mixed with eggs and potatoes. The applier had to wear gloves and the solution timed just right on the applicant's head and then thoroughly rinsed out with cold water to avoid chemical burns. The desired outcome was for the newly straightened hair to be easily styled in the popular "conk" style of that era." -Wikipedia

is Seraphine's curly hair inspired by Josephine Baker?
More or less. She wasn't the only one sporting spit curls in the Jazz Age, but hers were probably the most iconic.

Marjorie S. Joyner filed to patent her Permanent Waving Machine on May 16, 1928. 
The machine allowed a hairdresser to set many curls at once, and included scalp protectors to shield the client from heat. 
Record Group 241: Records of the Patent and Trademark Office
Series: Utility Patent Case Files
Image description: Several views showing how one square inch of hair is wrapped around a piece of fabric, which in turn is clamped with long tongs. A flat piece of material sits between the tongs and the scalp. 
Image description: View of a stand that holds a hanging set of tongs, so that a client can sit in a chair beneath the stand and many sets of tongs attached to their hair at once.

Fun fact about Hiram's hairstyle: he switched from the 1870s/80s curls + sideburns combo to the 1920s wavy slicked back style over the years, but his hair just won't stay in place. He starts the day with a perfect 1920s look and he ends up with his signature curls by the evening.

HELLO while we are talking underbelly I would Dearly Enjoy to hear about diana just in general since I am simply Fond of Her... what is she up to these days? how is she doing?
Tumblr media
THANKS FOR ASKING! this made me finally settle on a redesign for her. she's still an oracle type figure capable of seeing the future, but now she hangs around pool halls and uses her foresight to give her an edge in all kinds of games of skill and chance alike. she likes to take bets, safe in the reassurance that she mostly knows the outcomes, but every once in a while the spirit of the thing takes her and she'll leave it completely up to chance. i've been playing with the idea of luck being a form of currency in the underbelly, with people able to trade and sell the very concept of good fortune, and she'd definitely be a top dealer in it. not only can she tell you the best outcomes of an event, she can tip the odds in your favor if you make it worth her while.
