-
- There was an article in the ProJo a couple summers back about the "big
- hair" phenomenon. Apparently, there was one salon (or whatever you
- want to call it) in Johnston that proudly claimed to have originated
- it, and another that adamantly refused to do anyone's hair that way.
-
- They also had bits of interviews with a few junior-high and
- high-school girls who seemed quite braindead and in love with their
- big hair. One of the young "ladies" said something like, "It's gotta
- be, like, really stiff. And I'm always touching it, because I'm always
- afraid it's, like, going to fall."
-
- >The real question is, does anyone really find it attractive?
-
- Damn good question. I remember a guy at the Comedy Connection who used
- to do jokes about big hair girls. Referred to it as the "cockatoo from
- hell" look.
-
- >(no flames, please)
-
- No! No flames! With all that hair spray around, we'd all be killed in
- the combustion.
