  Hi everybody,

  While we're on the subject of big hair, does anyone know about "big hair contests"?
  I heard something on NPR maybe 10 years ago, about bars in New Jersey that had these
  contests. Women (only, as far as I know), would come in with clean, dry, unstyled
  hair (but probably curled) and have 10 or 15 minutes to make it as big as possible.
  The description was that most women sat in chairs, leaning over to tease and spray
  their hair for maximum volume. There was then a parade and judging, with prizes
  and local renown for the winners. It sounded like the scene was sorta suburbs post-
  disco (no value judgements). I've never heard anything else about this -- has
  anyone else?

  Love -- Morgaine
