I just wanted to post this youtube because I love this song. So much in fact, that I actually used to sing it all the time in 4th grade (1989, and yes I actually did always sing it to my classmates). SCULPT YOUR HAIR, ANYWAY YOU LIKE IT! I'm glad that my classmates of '89 were nice enough to not ridicule me for being obsessed with this song, and actually thought it was funny when I sang it... thanks Jamie Carsillo. (Of course a 10 year old Italian guidette from Jersey would love this song). Anyway, enjoy the do's the tunes, and the moves... what? A poet I am not, but a lover of this video I am.

I Want My Mommy... and here's why:
Something really weird is going on. There must be something in the air, because twice in one week I saw the worlds worst hybrid haircut on two different men, at two different times. Picture the two worst looks for white men, and combine the two.
That's right, its a dread locked mullet. As I've said before dreads on anyone other than Jamaicans / rastas are horrible. The ultimate hair don't. Now picture a short spikey do, but dreaded only in the back, starting from the top crown of the head and cascading gross turd dreads going down to the shoulders.
I'm not sure exactly who these men are or why they chose this horrid do. Unfortunately I did not have my camera to capture the look, and I was in such shock in seeing these barf inducing do's that I couldn't even focus enough to snap a picture. I do know that one man was sort of an acid burn out in front of port authority, but he was definitely not a bum. He seemed like an ex-neu-hippie from Wisconsin who was inbetween states, waiting for his next bus to wherever-the-hell. Suspect two was a teenage European boy outside of the mac store on 60th street. (Tourist heaven, fashion hell).
You may think this quasi-boring story has come to a close, but it's not done yet my friend. In euro dread mullet of teenage boy, were silver ring dread jewels. So not only do you have the worlds most obviously disgusting do, you highlight it with tribal dread jewels.
You'll have to exuse me but I have to cut this entry short. I just barfed all over my ibook from 2004.
Dreads... don't do it.
Sidenote: Jane Child is a disgusting bitch.

Mousse? Yes mousse
My closest friends know that I use mousse and embrace it because I have limp, fine, thin hair and frankly I want some volume. There's definitely people who still use mousse and they use it for the same reason I do. Sounds 80s or 90s or whatever, but it gets the job done.
I got this great mousse from my hairdresser from a line called Enjoy. But one day after I used it at the gym, I came home and the container was completely empty. I have no clue how it happened, but I was at a loss, as I knew I was not going to my hair dresser's anytime soon.
So I did what most people do, and go to my local CVS to find a substitute. It was about 7am and I saw a sale (I can't pass up a sale). It was buy one get one free of Christophe hair products. The bottle looked nice and about as fancy as you can get with CVS products. I had not heard anything about this product, but figure I would try the thickening spray and since I had another option, I would try the volumizing mousse.
So I bring it up the register and the woman at the counter was arguing with me that it wasn't buy one get one free so I showed her thats what the sign said. She left the register and started ripping off every sticker one by one and making a big stink about it and frankly it was too early in the morning for me to give a shit, so I stood there as me and the man behind me laughed about how ridiculous it was. In the end I got my discount. Why am I telling you all this useless knowledge? Well I just want you to get the feel of the struggle I had getting the product and now here is my review.
The thickening spray is good not great. The rusk thick is way better. The mousse is awful. I only use a small amount, and it makes my hair look like a greasy mess. I don't understand how it is supposed to do anything great for hair. Is it possible I am not using it correctly? I guess anything is possible, but I have been investing in mousse since my first perm, and I think I know the proper way my hair should look. In anyway, here's a visual of the bottle to show how looks can be deceiving.

You Old Thing You
So I do not have a visual yet, but today, as I was driving to work, there was this old lady who I have seen before several times, stylin' to the max.
She looks about 102, and everytime I see her, she is decked out. Today, she had on this argyle sweater with a thin gold belt around the waist, black pants (not sure what kind of shoes), and the craziest hair piece I have seen in quite some time.
Her hair was pulled back into a bun of some sort, and there was a clip holding everything together. The clip looked like a giant blue plastic loofah. It was like this crazy bright poof sticking out from the back of her head. As she walked passed me going about -0.2 miles per hour, I struggled to find my phone to capture the moment.
Now that I have been reminded of her, I am definitely taking that route to work from now on until I can hopefully capture what I saw today. Stay tuned...

Degrassi High (Original)
I had to post about Degrassi because it was just a show I loved growing up. The above picture as you all know is Spike. Spike was pretty much awesome and ended up getting pregnant on the show and having the baby. Looking back on her do, it is sooo wack to the max. I guess it suited her character, plus she had an awesome nickname, but her hair only got better when she got into high school and started bleaching her hair and grew it out a bit. This was her middle school look, and clearly it took them a few years to get it right.
The below video is The Zit Remedy, which was Joey Jeremiah's band. I will let the video, the hairdos, and the fashion speak for itself. (and yea I still love this song).
Scrunchie Spottin'
Oddly enough there was recently a scrunchie spottin' at the Lord & Taylor in good old New Jersey. Thanks to Miss Kristie for sending this one in.

Blissin' On This Ultra-Vibe
You know what? Don't even try it. Don't even try to tell me about your sisters hair in the 80's or your moms hair in the 80's, or your own hair in the 80's, because all that flies out the window when you see Ms. Champagne Kings poodle poof pyramid do in this fine fine jazzy jam:
Don't even try it!
