My Bio
Tracy Turnblad is an overweight high school student living in Baltimore, Maryland. She and her classmate Penny Pingleton watch the The Corny Collins Show, a local teen dance television show, together.
The teenagers featured on the show attend Tracy and Penny's school, among them Amber von Tussle and her boyfriend Link Larkin, the lead male dancer. Amber’s mother, Velma, manages WYZT and makes sure Amber is prominently featured. Corny Collins and the dancers on the show are white, and Velma only allows black kids on the show once a month on "Negro Day", hosted by R&B disc jockey Motormouth Maybelle.
One of the dancers on the show takes a leave of absence and auditions for a replacement are held. Tracy attends, but is rejected by Velma for being overweight and for supporting integration. Tracy is sent to detention for skipping school and discovers the "Negro Day" kids practicing in the detention room. Tracy befriends Seaweed, the students' best dancer and Motormouth Maybelle's son, who teaches Tracy several dance moves. As Tracy leaves detention, she inadvertently bumps into Link and dreams of a life with him. At a record hop, Tracy’s moves attract the attention of Corny Collins and he chooses her to join the show.
Tracy becomes one of Corny's most popular dancers, threatening Amber's chances of winning the show's yearly "Miss Teenage Hairspray" pageant and her relationship with Link, as he grows fonder of Tracy. Mr. Pinky suggests that Tracy be the spokesgirl for his Hefty Hideaway boutique. Tracy persuades her mother, Edna, to accompany her to the boutique as her agent.
Tracy introduces Seaweed to Penny, and the two are smitten. One afternoon when Tracy and Link are in detention, Seaweed invites the girls and Link to follow him and his sister Little Inez to a platter party at Maybelle's store. Edna finds Tracy there and tries taking her home, but Maybelle convinces her to stay and tells her to take pride in herself. At the party, Maybelle informs everyone that Velma has canceled "Negro Day" and Tracy suggests that they march for integration. Edna returns to her husband Wilbur's shop, but Velma gets there first and tries to seduce him. After accusing Wilbur of infidelity, Edna forbids Tracy to be on the show. Wilbur and Edna reconcile.
The next morning, Tracy sneaks out of the house to join the protest, which is halted by a police roadblock. The protesters engage in a brawl, while Tracy runs to the Pingletons' home and hides in a fallout shelter. Penny's mother catches Tracy and calls the police before tying Penny to her bed. Seaweed and his friends, having been bailed out by Wilbur, help Tracy and Penny escape. Link visits Tracy’s house to look for her and realizes he loves her. Seaweed and Penny also acknowledge their love during the escape.
With the pageant underway, Velma places police officers around WYZT. She also changes the pageant tallies so Amber is guaranteed to win. Penny arrives at the pageant with Edna, while Wilbur, Seaweed, and the Negro Day kids help Tracy infiltrate the studio. Link breaks away from Amber to dance with Tracy; later, he pulls Seaweed's sister, Little Inez, to the stage to dance in the pageant.
Amber tries to re-claim her championship crown but fails. Little Inez wins the pageant, integrating The Corny Collins Show. Velma confesses her tally-switching scheme to her daughter in front of a camera, causing her to get fired. The Corny Collins Show set turns into a celebration as Tracy and Link kiss.

I smile as I stare at Tracy's chubby body.
((Insert John Travolta Xenu joke here.))
(Left my iron on-)
"I really like your hair" said with a wink and a click with the tongue and a wide grin.
The Villager looked up at Tracy and waved.

"Well, hello there!" She grinned. "And who are you?~"
He got out a piece of paper and a pencil from his pocket. He then wrote 'The Villager' on it.
