Perfection

this video was awesome. And Josh– your Joe clip is hilarious for this! :-)

This was a great post; Speaks to all of the things we do to hide our real selves or to project an image. Thanks. Oh, and where can I get that soundbite? It has the perfect sarcastic tone for some of my more . . . hmm, ok, I’ll say it, bitchy moments.

Josh – the video is a great find: the kid is definitely hott and the message is relevant. I also loved hearing from Joe!!!

This post has me finally ready to dare to ask two questions that are SURE to have younger readers of this blog hospitalized for uncontrollable laughing…

1. Do young men who like this look really use that many different hair care products during one dressing?

2. How did the hairstyle shown, combing it forward all around, often called part of the ‘emo’ look, actually get started?

[When you finish laughing, here's some backstory: I was in high school when the first real 'perfume' for men was introduced - Ralph Lauren's Polo cologne. It was such an instant sensation that classmates hoarded their lunch money and missed insurance payments on cars to buy it! Girls would pick boyfriends based on who wore that scent. From there, the advertising industry has successfully made men almost as dependent on cosmetics as women... On a different, but related topic, I do understand the history of men's awfully baggy clothes - this fashion arrived just as two huge cultural changes were getting underway: the rise of hip-hop and the first public discussions of AIDS.]

If you’re laughing too hard to type, I understand.

Damn it….I tried the video and it said it was removed due to TOS violation. I didn’t get to see it.

Some of the comments on the youtube original we’re pretty raunchy. I’m really glad it’s back up here though. The replacement one is good, but it’s just not the same knowing it’s been censored by mum. :P
Cheers Callum, you’re da best!
