Let it be known if someone has a hairstyle you admire, copying it doesn't mean you will look just like them, quite the opposite actually. I should know.
It was called to my attention that a lot of hair be on the comeback for us guys. Yes, I went to get me hair cut yesterday afternoon and was asked what style I wanted. This was new, usually, my stylist Mike just cuts it the way he sees fit and that's that. But yesterday I was given a choice. I didn't know what to make of it, I was speechless as I was handed some pictures of the new men-do's and I must have blinked many times as I sat there trying to choose.
Yes, since the appearance of Internet sensation Justin Bieber, the porridge bowl haircut is back! That style once popularised by the Beatles, WAS the new trend last year and it continues! Even Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady was sporting the look, much to his fans' disgust, but I have news for Mr. Brady, there be a new look in town. No, not the Charlie Sheen bat wings (though I will give that honourable mention) it is the fresh, new young look of the golf world's new sensation, the Rory Mcllroy unruly curls look to be here fresh from Ireland teen land.
I know my muse is prone to the expat South African tousled look of our very own Lucky, so I made mention of THAT look. My stylist was intrigued so we went to the shop computer, I got up me blog, isolated Lucky's picture and added it to the others after me main haircutting scissor-happy stylist Mike looked at Lucky, and after going into a gay man's overload on a nice looking straight guy, he said, "Girlfriend, I can do THAT," and he pointed at Lucky's tousled look with his very sharp scissors. So we got up that pic too, and mine from me blog and he put them all together and then pasted me face over them all so I could see what I might look like sporting each of the do's. Oi! Once he was done, Mike said to me, "Let's see how fantastical you could look with a new man-do." Well, okay said I and I looked.
For Bieber, I don't think the light hair does much for me and I look ten years old with such a mop. Plus, dyeing my hair would be not me thing, though Mike was all about highlighting with foils, whatever that meant. But no, said I. The Sheen look I was sort of prone to as a more grownup look, but well, duh losing when you see it on me! Then the Mcllroy look, well I would have to let me hair grow and have a perm for such a look. Can you see me sitting there having a perm? I can't, AND I didn't think I'd look very good in that so nix that idea. Of course, it didn't help that everyone who looked at me in that hairstyle walked away laughing. The South African tousled look, nah too much hair and I couldn't carry it off smile or no, though I was tempted and even for that, I'd have to grow me hair and on me, it would look more bedhead than stylishly tousled. SIGH.
Mike couldn't make up his mind. I was like, what do you mean you can't make up your mind? Are you blind? All you have to do is look at them all, and none, no none, not one would make me look good. Well, said he, bring your Irish South African friend in, I can probably get a better idea if he was here up close and personal. I turned in me chair and looked up at him standing there sighing over the computer. Right, he's straight I said, get that out of your mind, just cut away as you usually do and I'll ask me muse her opinion.
So here they be, I got both sets of pics the real people and then me as all of them. Don't laugh, but I know you will and I know which one you'll choose and let me say right now, I get the Mcllroy I'll look the very large demented leprechaun, and then we'd look related you and me. So NO.
