cupcake_goth Jul. 16th, 2010 12:57 pm)Do you people have any idea how difficult it is to find an old-style can of Aqua Net? Good grief! I have one that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cass404 gave me, and I am going to hoard that thing, because the new formula of Aqua Net is Not The Same as the old. No, not at all.
(Seriously. There are whole discussions online about how the formula is different, even though the company swears it isn't. Having recently used a new can of the pink & white label, I agree with the people who say it has changed, and for the worse.)
Which leads me to this, oh LJ hivemind! If any of you people find a can of the classic style Aqua Net (in the pink & white or the purple can), TELL ME. I, um, very well may ask you to snag it for me.
Long ago, when I was young goth-rocker girl and living at home, one of my Christmas presents from my parents was A CASE of Aqua Net. Yes, I went through enough hairspray in the upkeep of my Big Hair that giving me a case of Aqua Net made perfect sense. I was delighted. The case was gone by May or June of that year. The hole in the ozone layer? Partially my fault.

I don't have Aqua-Net, but I DO have a suggestion. If you know any older pack-rats, THEY might have some. They hoard damned near anything, so that would be your best bet.

Oh, if you do have a can of the classic-style Aqua Net, I would be in your debt. (And yes, it is a good sealant.)

you know those tiny little Mom & Pop corner stores? The kind that do not have the really high merchandise turn over? The kind that stock things like Aquanet but don't sell a WHOLE LOT Of *anything* much? You know, I bet those tiny little stores just might carry the occasional can of the original formula.

That is a link for a classic can style security safe, since its for a shadowbox you could always go with a fake :)
Also, for our Halloween idea this year I may need to request your knowledge on "big hair"

I remember the old style can was very metallic, sort of an all-over almost magenta purple but I think it had a white coloured net design on it(?) instead of black. Anyway, I wish I could find some of the old stuff too!
