Fun With Hair

Mom and Grandma decided to have some fun with John this morning. They decided to try new hair styles out on our John. As you can see from the photos, John was not terribly pleased. Either that, or he has my aversion to having his photo taken. Let's hope that's not the case because I have plans for this boy. He's going to be a huge soccer star. He'll start out in Europe and make his big bucks in Italy or Spain. He'll have to be ready for the cameras



Style 1 on the left is known as the Johnny Bomber look. Johnny Bomber is a rock star in Japan because we all know that things are easy when you are big in Japan (or so Alphaville would have us believe). Why Johnny Bomber?



There's a good story involving me and the end of my matriculation at university (WOW, I sounded Canadian there with the "university" thing. I should have gone to Degrassi Street Community School). Anyway, as I was nearing the end of my studies, I didn't know what I was going to do. My friend, Albert, made a great recommendation. He said I should move to Japan and become a pop singer. They'll listen to anything. So, we came up with my name Eddie Bomber and that I specialized in songs that sounded like they were out of the 1950's. I'd wear clothes that was from the early 1980's (no not pirate clothes like Adam Ant). Eventually, I did get a job and let my pop star dreams go by the wayside (until I put a fake article up on Wikipedia about Eddie Bomber's three top 10 singles in Japan and gold record in the Netherlands. The Wiki-Police got rid of it pretty quickly.).



Style number 2 on the right is known as the Johnny Ross. Why Johnny Ross? It's quite reminiscent of early ER Doug Ross aka George Clooney. Grandma said it was his nerdy hair do. I think it's more of a mid-nineties Gallagher brothers from Oasis look; however, Johnny has the face to pull it off. The Gallagher brothers were/are just dirty looking fools from Manchester.





If it were up to me, he'd have Don Draper's hair style. That's a man with a nice head of hair. We'll have to use a bucket of hair gel to keep it styled in that way, but I'd be willing to spend the time and effort to make his hair look like that.

Several people have mentioned that John has a great head of hair. Yes, he does have a full head of hair, but he's got some long sideburns that just kill me. My little boy has mutton chop sideburns. They are not quite as thick as Elvis', but they are still thick. I can't wait to take him for his first hair cut. Hopefully, Jerry the Barber will be back from his illness or I have no idea where we are going to take him. Maureen says that we can go to The Yellow Balloon, but I think he needs to go to a manly barber shop with real barber chairs and a striped barber pole.
