Oh my god, you're with Paul! :-D

[hairy_canary]

Paul is with Shazza now.

[baldowl]

Please accept my most sincere sympathies for your hair disaster and my deepest apologies for laughing at your tragedy, Shazza.

[hairy_canary]

Oh, fine. Laugh at my humiliation, will you? FINE. JOKE AT MY EXPENSE! WHERE'S YA MOCCASINS, SHAZZA?!

[baldowl]

Incidentally, I had to look up 'bogan.' That word is going to come in useful.

[hairy_canary]

You can confound your friends and associates when referring to white trash with a new word. Bonus points for also using the UK terminology, 'chav'.

(As long as we're talking etymology - incidentally, there are also state variations in Australia. While I might look like a bogan in Victoria and New South Wales, in Queensland I would be considered a 'bevan'.)

Shazza, why do you go to this hairdresser if he just ruins your hair?! :^P

[hairy_canary]

He hadn't ruined it before now! The mohawk was easily written off as an aberration, brought on by too much excited conversation about the shenanigans at Gay Mardi Gras. And it grew out fast.

Whether I go back or not, I won't be allowing him to do anything indelible ever again, that's fer sure.

[wineandsong]

Oh dear. Why do these abominations always happen just before a significant event, when a Good Hair Day is everything????

Maybe this is a case of you being your own harshest critic, and it's really not so bad. A week will tone things down nicely, and you'll be your usual fabulous self.

It had better... I don't think I can call you Shazza.

[hairy_canary]

This is what I keep telling myself. But then I go and check in the mirror and start thinking "OhGodOhGodOhGodOhShitOhGod".

I hope you're right, Nazza.

[wineandsong]

I hope so too.

Did I ever tell you my wedding day hair debacle?

[hairy_canary]

No?

[over_unity]

Am I the only one who focused in on the mohawk, and now insists on seeing a picture of you with said mohawk?

[hairy_canary]

I refused to let tpbrcombo take photos of me when I had it, and it managed to escape photographic record even though he and onlylisa were plotting ways to get clandestine photos of it.

However, I kid you not when I say I just tried to take a couple of shots of the back of my head, where it's at its worst. They didn't work out. It's harder to do than I thought.

This cut isn't quite as severe as the mohawk, but the coloured tipping draws great attention to where the short hair on the side ends and the slightly longer hair towards the middle begins. So it kinda looks like I've had a mini-mohawk Photoshopped onto my head.

[over_unity]

That's a shame. At least satisfy my curiosity at this level....

Was it like a mad max level mohawk or a more subdued urban variant? :P

[hairy_canary]

Subdued urban variant. It's a kind of asymmetrical cut - starts quite short on one side and sweeps around the back gradually getting a little longer. It mohawked when instead of there being a gradual change from short on the side to longer as you come around, there was a somewhat more abrupt change.
