...It's probably the most powerful and attention seeking look I've had. I've been thinking about it *I also think La Roux, Agyness Deyne, Grace Jones, David Bowie, Prince, Tilda Swinton and despite not trying, they all exude some sort of coolness without expecting to. This of course is when I question my choice, they help to remind me it is fitting....I'm hoping my exuding is doing the same (fingers crossed). It seems to me the ultimate principle of androgyny is Samsonite, in other words

I finally wake up at 12:49 Saturday afternoon with rodents roaming inside me. That's right, one in my head scratching away at my skull and the other deep in my stomach pushing whatever alcohol was left right into my chest. I was chanting my 'I'll never drink again' song, though it seems to dissolve away with my next drink (on Sunday). Like clockwork I then think someone spiked my drink because it's beyond comprehension how two glasses and one half would cause such devastation. I dread to think that my aging has a place in the equation and finally put it down to drinking only water, green tea and lemon & Ginger tea for the last year (alcoholic, fizzy and juice drinks on a very irregular basis) no fibs. Therefore it must be the alcohol irritating my pure body (excuse me while I fool myself). So anyway, I look over on my camera and I'm still shocked at my own appearance, glad for the change nonetheless... You see, Friday night was my introduction of my Grace Jones-esque hair to the world at night, it was shocked but generally receptive. Now you can understand why wherever I am, the words Grace and Jones most certainly appear. It might even explain my alcoholic over indulgence!

Say Bonjour to B. L. Baracus - Better Looking Baracus, Bryan (his real name) Baracus for short straight out of the 80's A Team only not choked in gold or excessive face hair. However, the little imp in me would like at least one heavy duty gold chaps but then the neo Baracus wouldn't really be more than an impersonator. Oh no this isn't a throwback, go away with that, it's a neatly finished comeback! I screamed, jumped and hugged then did the same in reverse for nothing but my love for his strip fro. He got me thinking, men have been terribly shifted what with the limited scope of garments (not even a hairy mole or pimple on the face of ladieswear) but B. L. Baracus has highlighted that hair is the view from that prison window... The one thing men are able to use to escape the confines of limited apparel.

It's all in the hair they say and this not only applies to the fairer but to the three legged people and more so are they using this conduit to reach style far out of reach from the norm. Hair is a level playing ground now, an allowance for possibilities without fear of reprisal or question of sexuality. In fact tresses are no longer a feminine term. When you think about it, how many men do you know that may possibly have better hair than you? Now, that said this do really is the albino of the Sudanese family. Mohawks are played to point of penalty but this is a refreshing take on a tired and middle aged hairdo. An afro slash mini high top slash afro mohawk slash partial baldness. B. L. Baracus Je l'aime. This is the only photo I managed to get before my battery died oh :(, but even looking into his eyes reminds me of something like the word 'Mustapha' and the hyena trio in the Lion King. Shivers! But with happy goosebumps.

It's that time again...a new hairstyle! Time for a new image - how exciting. I've had this centre parting feather look longer than I personally like....Even maintained the shabby dog look every now and then, though there really wasn't any maintaining involved: just waking up, the dog and shabby is by default. I'm not the 'adorn your hair with ornaments type of girl that's tooooooo trendy!  Far tooooooooo trendy even for me.

For now the tresses have regressed into a straw trilby, felt hats and beanies, but my scalp has been protesting I hear it scream if I wear one for too long! I admit it, I'm about this I<-->I short of just shaving it all off and not having to worry about trendy tresses ever! What the biscuit...Britney did it, Cassie half did it (I still don't like it), Amber Rose walks and talks it.....and look NOW Solange went all patchy patchy. There may be a fine line between cowardice or courageous (which ever is your perspective).

Or maybe the Rihanna slash punk slash Sarah Harding? I'm not part of that popular crowd...spit that right out like soured milk. Abundant curls? By Jeeves, I've got!....

THE BOWL CUT. I know YSL did it last fall but I can only remember it being a hit in the 80's and seeing little caucasian boys about 5-8 years old rock it! It's not in trend, it's short, manageable. Not the Kerri Hilson or even Agyness Deyn, I'll not shave the back. it will be somewhat boyish and girlish (lol) I hope. Yes, (as I nod convincing myself it is the way forward) I think I'll do the bowl cut! Bowl me!

 

Sometime very soon I'll post you pictures of a bowl adorning Me Me and it should look Saunders (you know....ab fab). But for now, you'll have to do with images scowered from the (I could not live without) web.
