Are you Vain?

Of course we know vanity isn't exclusively a women's trait....

but being vain is certainly directly tagged to women. That is why Carly Simon's hit "You're so Vain" was so shocking at the time because it pinned it to a man. So I thought you would find this Civil War factotum of interest.

Recently archeologists found bottles of hair dye in and around an old Kentucky building that use to be a photo studio for Civil War Soldiers to get their photo taken before going off to battle. Thus wanting to put their best visage forward! Sad in a way but so very touching!
