"I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair..."
~Sandi Thom

I got my haircut yesterday. I went armed with a picture because the idea of explaining it all in French seemed so complicated. This time I took a picture of a girl, in hopes they wouldn’t remember me as "that girl that brings pictures of boys with her..." Unfortunately, I now have a mop top.
I look like what would exist if Davey Havok had a child with one of Warhol’s factory girls. Since if you are under 45, you probably don’t know who Warhol’s girls were, and if you are over 29, you probably don’t know who Davey Havok is, I present you with an object lesson:

Exhibit A:Prospective father, lead singer of AFI, alias Davey Havok.



Exhibit 2:Potential mother, silkscreener in Andy Warhol’s Factory, alias Mod Girl:

Exhibit D:Paul McCartney, bassist for The Beatles. Relevant to the case at hand because he is the only person alive who can wear a mop top and make it look good.

Exhibit 5:Blair, alias Tadpole, alias Gypsy, freshly moptopped.

A: Taking pictures of yourself while not looking at the camera is not only kind of weird ("is there something happening off to the left that I am not aware of?") but grade A emo. But people who live in LA are supposed to do things like that, so there you go. Just getting in my practice.

B: The subject’s reaction upon realizing she looks like the spawn of a woman from the 70's and an asexual vegan rock star who has been known to wear mesh shirts and use words like "imbrue," which, for the record, does not exist in the English lexicon.

None of this is to say that I would not want to look like Mr. Havok, or Warhol’s slave, or even a knight of the Realm of Britain (I saw a knight once. There’s a cool fact. He was old and read the Bible to me– no kidding), but in combination?
I mean, I also like macaroni and cheese, millefeuilles, foie gras and truffles, but that doesn’t mean I go eating them all in one bite, now does it?

But last time I got it cut I thought it was a euroemomullet until I washed it and fixed it myself... perhaps that will happen with this one too.Anyway, I am not too worried about it... it always grows out.
