OBSOLETE CONTEST SUBMISSION DAY 2: The Banana Clip

“While the scrunchy apparently has a deal with the devil to be immortal, the banana clip has gone peacefully into the night.  That hinged claw saw me through a crunch or two for sure. All those times when I needed my hair out of my eyes to study, old banana was there for me.  When I needed to sweep up my hair in a hurry before a night out, that clip helped me achieve new hieghts in glamour.  With just one snap, an exotic cascade of curls gave me the confidence to get out on that dance floor. And when night turned into day, I found comfort in knowing I could awake, not have to do my hair, and go out for a nice after party taylor ham egg and cheese….gladiator hair in tact. What is a girl to do now days when the need arises to sweep up that hair and get on out there? Sure she can scrounge around for a scrunchy but nothing beats the full on faux hawk look achieved with one giant claw.  Maybe the banana clip has become extinct only here in Brooklyn? I plan on spring break in Texas and hold out hope that someone, somewhere still has one for sale.”
