All's Hair in Love and War!
6 pp · humor; teen
Candy O'ConnorTed DawsonTrish TraynorOrvilleCharlie RaingerAlphonse

When Charlie Rainger's movie-star curls send the girls of town into a swoon, Candy O'Connor and Ted Dawson decide the only way to fight back is to match his weapon with one of their own—a trip to Mme. LiLi's Beauty Salon for permanent waves. What follows is a scramble of hidden identities, romantic mix-ups, and hilariously botched hair disasters that test the bonds between Candy, Trish Traynor, Orville, and the boys. It's a fizzy 1953 teen comedy where vanity, loyalty, and a head of curly hair collide in the funniest way possible.

As their bumbling attempts to set up the aerial and get the picture working go from bad to worse, the two teens find themselves in a frantic race to cover their tracks before Candy's father discovers what's happened. It's a hilarious romp through one disaster after another that'll have you laughing at every misstep along the way.
