In the mid-twentieth century, The Bluebell Girls—dancers known particularly for their height and glamorous appearance—were recognized and admired throughout much of the world. In Have Chignon—Will Travel: Touring Italy with the Bluebell Girls 1960-61, Elizabeth Dale Phillips takes you with her on an incredible odyssey, starting as a shorthand-typist in London to metamorphosing into an elegant Bluebell Girl. Elizabeth, now in her eighties, tells her story with both candor and humor.
