Wow this is spooky... Check this out.
There's only one place outside of Chicago that I'll order a pizza from and it's from a little town in Kentucky. Why? Because the owner and head cook was born & raised here.- Vanessa

As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .
So. I was just curious how everyone does their pin curls. We all do them, but I'm sure there's a different process for everyone. Mine tend to be fairly flat when I pin them (using bobby pins), and I'm not sure I like that. I have a 'dent' in the curl itself that's rather bothersome. -
