Powder, Lipstick, and Perfume: The History of Women’s Compacts Thursday, February 18, 2:00 p.m., via Webex
Join Doris Montag to view a large collection of powder compacts and accessories in all their variety and glory. Doris has curated this collection and will share the history and social impact of compacts, and likely a tale or two. A longtime favorite of Friends Club members, Doris brings a homespun-style of storytelling about one “ordinary thing” or another. She is enthused to return to Friends Club through online events in 2021. More information about Doris can be found on her Facebook page, HistoryofOrdinaryThings, or in her monthly article featured in Mature Focus.
