Congratulations Liz! who, using a random number generator, was picked to receive my extra copy of "Lacy Little Knits."
And thanks to everyone for joining me at the dance with DAVID LEE ROTH!
OMG! It's not enough that he was just a gigolo a few (!) years ago; it's not enough that he, perhaps, singlehandedly defined the Spandex Moment for HairDo Rock (would YOU buy these (gently used !) for your next big gig?); it's not enough that someone thought Diamond Dave should replace foul shockjock Stern on a radio shoe..
What struck me as almost (!) magic about this video is that David Lee was just So HAPPY!
I especially loved (in a very very run-and-hide way) the way in the first few seconds he kind of shimmies his torso at us in a "U+ME=Let's Dance" kind of move...
That he was Secure Enough in His Manhood to rock out with some Blue Grass is so modern, so "Men—we’re the new women" kind of way. Sensitive. Well-groomed. Smiling no matter what. Moisturized.
I salute you David Lee Roth.
But no doubt about it. What I need is a haircut. If men are becoming so slick, what's up with me not getting the strands stroked for, hmm, almost 5 months?
I've bee saving up for this:
THE LONG SHAG (from HairColorDiva.com)
Who it works for: People who want rock star texture and style, but without the fuss.
Tell your hairstylist: The shortest layers should hit the bottom of your ears.
Use scissors not a razor to leave ends feathery.
(THIS is what sealed the deal for me) Maintenance: Cut every 3 or 4 months though you may go about 7 months without ill effects.
Perfect.
When I went to NYC a couple of months ago, with my hinky short shag, I saw the most perfect shag on a woman waiting in line with me for the plane. I SO wanted to take her picture, but was too shy. She was about 6 feet tall, very thin, tight jeans and a striped shirt, really pointy short red heels; and a long long shag haircut.
I'll never make it to long-long, but well, after growing out all summer, (and I SALUTE MY HAIRDRESSER for giving me something that really really kept its shape), I'm going for the gold...
