I Feel Out Of The Times...

Hi, i was reading about the girl who wanted hair advice for her prom. I`m so happy she and her date made the news, and sorry to read about other meanies... But the real reason i`m here is to ask for advice. Since i was very little, i have always felt as if i belonged in a ti,me when TV has only two colors and conformity and victory gardens came hand in hand. I`ve always had a unique look about myself, but my hair is a straight-out mess!
I would love to know more about how to pin curl it correctly. It would be extremely helpful to know how to, and of a product that would help me keep my hair curled for longer than a few hours. My closet looks like a combination of Lucy`s and Rita`s old outfits, but my hair matches that of Yoko.
PLEASE HELP!

Thank you.
