A (Nonalcoholic) Toast to Shirley Temple, Our Original Curly Hair Idol

Needless to say, I never did get to experience having Shirley Temple curls—but almost even better, I was blessed with a daughter who has them. Everywhere we go, people comment on her curls and compare them to Shirley Temple's. I sit around tugging on them all the time. It's been a challenge learning how to style these curls, but a fun one!

If you're feeling as sentimental as me right now, go revisit some of Shirley Temple's cutest film moments over at Obsessed. And meanwhile, let us not forget that this actress also gave the world our most beloved of all nonalcoholic cocktails. I think we should all go invent a grown-up spiked version of the Shirley Temple tonight so we can properly toast her.

How many of you also had a childhood crush on Shirley Temple's curls?
