   • 2003, Fran Di Giacomo, I'd Rather Do Chemo Than Clean Out the Garage:

     Our own American culture also makes a lot of noise about hair. The katrillion-dollar industry thrives on selling hair products that were produced for five cents and sold for thirty dollars, part of which goes to the zillion-dollar advertising campaigns.
