jola had a brilliant idea. BRILLIANT, I TELL YOU. Quoted verbatim from her LJ:

The Big Fucking Hair challenge

Hey girls, you ready to party like it's 2002?? I'm throwing down the gauntlet.

Remember when we used to do BIG fucking hair? Well the time to bring it back is now. Now more than ever, fuck the ever-present recession, fuck the Republicans, fuck all of the joyless asshole sons of bitches ....

I'm challenging YOU to bring back big hair. Now. big FUCKING hair. dye it, fake it, weaves, beads and hairspray, whatever the hell it takes. Take a photo this November and post it (and be ready to see it reposted here or linked to at least).

bring it bitches.

I support this. HELL YES, I support this. I already had been thinking of doing a Deathrock-y big hair thing, and

jola's challenge has made doing so an imperative.

Big hair. Oh yes. AquaNet for everyone. You know you want to.

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

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.
