  1. As great as these hair-dos looked, I have to wonder how much laca and curling and ironing it took for them to get that way.

  2. Im embarrassed to say Ive never heard of laca. I found an entry in Wictionary, it's a Spanish noun for lacquer. Laca and lacquer have the same meaning and sound almost the same, but laca is shorter and easier to spell, I think I like it better. It's also how some people from Brooklyn NY pronounce lacquer, as laca.

  3. Yes, it's Portuguese for hair spray. I heard it used in "The Philadelphia Story" so I assumed you knew what i meant, sorry you had to go through all that trouble.

  4. It was no trouble at all, and I learned a new word.
    Now, can you tell me what run out powder is?
