I'm probably going to either have to order it online or hope that one of the bookstores here will order it in for me. Or maybe, but very unlikely, they'll just have it there.

New gowns, hairdresser three times a week, My hairspray bill alone is enough to eat up all the profits from my dad's Tilta-Whirl!

Barnes & Noble, here in Burbank, California has had the book for the past 2 weeks. I all ready preordered it on Amazon.com back when it was 37% off. Amazon still says that it's coming out in a few weeks???

Went to the Pittsburgh Mills today and went to Borders. They didn't have it there, but I had them order it for me. They'll call me when it arrives there (in about a week or so!) It was 45 dollars, but I have a 30-some percent discount coupon, too! Then I went and saw "HAIRSPRAY" at the mall's Cinemark It was a great day.

When I go to pick it up in a week or so, believe me, I'll be going to see "HAIRSPRAY" again!
