Enter the Park Slope ‘Updos for Obama’ Contest!
Our favorite picture of our dearly departed grandmother is from the late fifties and shows her rocking a hairdo she would fondly recall as an "updo." And now, the Medusa Hair Salon (love that name!) in Park Slope has a thing going where you can get a Sarah Palin upswept hairdo for $75 and the proceeds will go to Obama's campaign. You will also be entered in a Palin look-alike contest, and if you win, $25 will go to Planned Parenthood in Palin's name. [Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn]
