Advance notice

So I'm going to be having a movie night at my place, and suddenly I get an e-mail from one of the guests who'll be coming. She asks if I'd mind if one of the guests can use my place to give another one of the guests a haircut, because university students in Winnipeg will do all sorts of things to save twenty bucks ( Read more... )

You made a serial killer shrine! Awesome! ;)

...What?? No!!! No no no! Aieeee!

Edit: Actually, come to think of it, I hadn't realized until now the many common features of a serial killer shrine and a barbershop/salon layout ( ... )

I recognize absolutely none of these people with questionable hairstyles. I'm pretty sure I should be glad for that.

Though middle-row-left _does_ look a bit like the actor who played Anakin Skywalker.

Me neither, I found most of them by doing a Google image search for men's hairstyles. The only two deliberate images - the guy on the top left is a member of the German soccer team. (I forget his name, but the person getting his hair cut is proud of his German heritage, so I'm wondering if he'll notice.) And the one on the far-left with the blue shirt is from the 80s new wave band Flock of Seagulls, which was a suggestion from a co-worker.

Oh, and once the haircut gets going, I have the music from the Bugs Bunny barber-of-Seville cartoon music all queued up. :)

I'm getting a strong ST:TOS vibe from the (apparently!) Flock of Seagulls guy, as if they'd remade it in the 80s. (And how come no sci-fi production ever deviates from either current fashions, or a vaguely "futuristic" style, generally involving boringly slick hairstyles for males, and pageboy for females)

The far right reminds me strongly of Alan Partridge. The far right photo, I should say.

LOL, the glue, WD-40 and hedge clippers instead of proper gel and a pair standard pair of blunt edged scissors is such a testament to your oddball humor

Though if you had one a flowbee and a shopvac would have been just as silly.

Well stocked, but where's the iodine and leather strap.

It's all I had to work with! Well, I was also thinking about spreading ketchup on my palm and leaving a bloody, smeared handprint on top of the dryer, but then I thought, enh, I'll have to clean it up later.

Anyway, it went over well tonight! And my guest did indeed recognize the German soccer player thrown into the bunch.
