THE ONLY THING BETTER THAN HAIRSPRAY | Corny Collins x Black fem OC

࣪⊹ ࣪ ˖ 💌 ₊ ⊹

"The only thing better than Hairspray, that's me!"

Loretta Hayes has spent two years working behind the scenes at The Corny Collins Show, where her job is simple: keep the broadcast running and stay out of the spotlight.

She's good at both.

But when a quick fix during a live show catches Corny Collins' attention, the golden boy host suddenly starts noticing the girl who's been standing in the wings all along. And as Baltimore begins to change and tensions rise both on and off camera, Loretta finds herself caught between ambition, racial prejudice, old rivalries, and a man whose smile looks a little less perfect the closer she gets to him.

After all, television only shows what's happening under the lights. Not the real story happening backstage.
