what is it?
Like those hair cover things for wearing curlers outside.  I was born
in 1975, and always used a curling iron.  I had no idea that people
had special hats to cover curlers AND would go out in public with
curlers in!

I'm enjoying the list.  Many items mentioned were on wish lists well
into the seventies and eighties (easy bake, chatty cathy).

I would be interested in reading how you plan the exhibit, who is
your audience, and what kind of space you have.
