Do you remember that pivotal moment in time where the earth shifted just slightly on its axis and suddenly big hair that stood reaching for the heavens replaced the Farrah Fawcett winged flip you'd been trying to perfect for a decade?

When your outrageous coif deflated during the school day, you could stand on the bathroom sinks, hold the shoulders of two devoted friends and hang your head upside down while someone sprayed enough Aquanet onto your locks to instantly burn a hole right through the ozone layer. You emerged with seriously high hair and two lungs full of the most spectacular chemicals that man has ever created.
