To celebrate this week's release of Reese Witherspoon's Whiskey in a Teacup: What Growing Up in the South Taught Me About Life, Love, and Baking Biscuits (Touchstone), the staff at Parnassus Books, Nashville, Tenn., was inspired by the new book's tutorial on how to use hot hair rollers and "because we're nothing if not thorough around here--and we want to make sure we're ready when Witherspoon comes to Nashville on Sunday, September 23--we gave it a try."
On the store's blog, Parnassus shared photos of the process and results before reaching a final verdict: "This tutorial was amazingly easy to follow. Even the shop dogs could do it.... With our new hair, we gained tremendous multi-tasking powers. Karen could even balance a book in one hand with a little whiskey coffee in a teacup in the other!... Seriously, though: There's so much more to this book than hair lessons."
