help me, i'm blogging about my haircut for a second time in a row. an intervention may be necessary. divine, if possible.
Seriously though, an intervention from Divine would be freaking awesome, wouldn't it?
So, I'm settling in to this half-mullet thing and it's kind of fun. It feels as if the me of twenty years ago has been clumsily superimposed over the left side of my head:
Whoops, that was me twenty years ago. Here's me now:
One summer when I was about seventeen or eighteen, my dad came downstairs and stood displaying his newly shaven profile and said, what would you think if I shaved off my moustache? When I said, yeah, it's okay he turned to face me so I could see that he'd in fact only shaved off half, to be funny. He later got distracted and drove into town to run errands, completely forgetting that he still had half a moustache, probably looking like a total goof. I'm a lot like my dad, can you tell?
Anyway, the much-maligned mullet is a noble and ancient hairdo. The half-mullet? I probably didn't make that one up either. I've been trying to get Peter to admit that it's like having sex with one of the Thompson Twins but the truth is I need a lot more volume before that's a possibility. Do they still make Aqua-Net?
In local art news, I'd like to remind y'all that I'll be performing "study for a remnant factory" again this weekend (and the many other Visual Fringe exhibitions will be on display around downtown), Friday, Saturday and Sunday from noon to six at 32 University Avenue East, Windsor Ontario (and that Artcite's monthly stitch 'n bitch will be happening right there in my space on Saturday from one to six). Be there or be elsewhere, but there is better. Also if you're in Windsor tonight you should join us at Milk to hear Garth Rennie making fabulous sounds. Garth is the guy who made my sound recording for the speaker wire dress (seems like years ago now).

Wow! Did you get sent to the office so much that they decided to make it your home room? ;-)

HA! This whole post is hysterically funny. I especially love the tale of your dad running errands with half a mustache. Your hair looks fabu, but I think you should do whatever Divine suggests.
