One of the joys of DEFCON is people watching. If you want to see the extremes of style, this is the place. You have the entire spectrum. One guy actually wore a suit and tie. Weird. Of course to balance him you had the guy with a suit coat, tie, fedora and dress shirt, bottomed off with a nice matching skirt, knee sox and loafers. I knew it was a guy because of the beard.
One of the popular hair styles is what we used to call a Mohawk. I don’t know what they call it, but you know what I mean. Some are little ridges. Some are purple spikes. Some are stiff. Some are limp. My son said he even saw a version for bald guys that split and went around the sides. Cool.
What is sad is when you use the wrong barber. I was following one guy who mus have had a dyslexic barber. On top it was centered but as it descended it drifted off to one side. The impact was diluted by the distraction. I wonder if he knew. I wasn’t about to tell him. You can never be sure about the stability of people who cut their hair this way.
Feel free to cut your hair as you please. I won’t laugh at you, I will laugh with you, unless your barber was drinking at the same bar you were at.
I tell the kids at school that real men can wear pink. I am not sure what that has to do with haircuts but it is something to think about.

Hey, not only was one of my favorite shirts in high school pink, but I wore a pink RUFFLED shirt to my prom to match my date's dress. Anyone who called me a sissy for wearing it back then would have had a knuckle sandwich, so no-one said a thing. Besides, I could have kicked them with my platform shoes! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI bought a pink t-shirt last week, so I am on board with you.

One of my favorite shirts was pink and I wore it often, for many years. Problem was that my eyes are not good with colors and I was unaware that it was pink... until someone I worked with politely asked why I favored it.
ReplyDeleteNot seeing colors correctly is something I can identify with. That is why I take my wife's advice on that. Of course she thinks I look good in pink...and yellow and gold. I only care so much, after all, I don't have to look at myself.
