Bobby pin
A bobby pin (also known as a kirby grip or hair grip in the United Kingdom) is a type of hairpin, usually of metal or plastic, used in coiffure to hold hair in place. It is a small double-pronged hair pin or clip that slides into hair with the prongs open and then the flexible prongs close over the hair to hold it in place. They are typically plain and unobtrusively colored, but some are elaborately decorated or jeweled. Bobby pins became popular in the 1920s to hold the new bobbed hairstyles.

2. It was while I was looking for the 14th time back into the box, wondering again whether, after all, the taxi–chit from Antwerp or the matchbook from Cairo or the pile of useless corrupt Zimbabwean dollars or the broken alto sax reed or the lying love letter or the kirby grip, or the fluff, was quietly masquerading as my lovely battered passport, and wondering why we do this, keep looking in the same places, as if somehow overnight a squadron of guilty ants might have snuck it back in, sorry mate, no harm done, we just fancied a weekend in Krakow, and wondering why in any conceivable way it could be helping me to make looking–for–passport gestures while I look for my passport, standing by the box and flicking slowly with three fingers through an imaginary booklet, standing like a dumb know–nothing head–lolling droolpot, might as well start my own blog – while I was doing all this I realised, with a tiny but welcome bit of relief, that it wasn‘t really lost.
