I like to think that without even opening their mouths these Styrofoam stands would silence even the most loquacious of political pundits. I don't really know what that means and can only imagine it sprang from my "talking heads" title, a misguided need to be clever, and my increasing punchiness on account of the advancing hour. Nevertheless, there's no better way to (finally!) introduce my quirky clips than with a quartet of luscious locks. Tired of mangling my manes by transferring them on and off a single stand, I bit the bullet and purchased three others from Sally Beauty Supply. If the barrette designs look familiar, then it's because they echo some of their necklace predecessors. (I'm talking about you, steak dinner, peacock, and artist palette). I think I like the miniature reincarnations even better then the originals. Probably because they're small enough to be arranged in an attractively collectible fivesome like the one pictured above. And I do so love to collect things. Don't you?
