Pin Class! Asian Pins Vs. Standard Bobbypins

Here's a big secret of mine. Japanese bobby pins (shown on top) are uniquely designed to grip slippery hair and coarse textures. The fine tips hold hair so much better than standard bobby pins. Be careful though! They are quite sharp. These pins are ideal also if you're blonde and have fine hair and have difficulty hiding your pins =)
Maybe now you won't have to use 3.444,343 bobby pins in your next updo! Does anyone know of a cheap place to get these?!?
