Facial hair or "face salad" as Derek here at Anita Kurl calls it, has been a hot topic at the salon this week. Derek, it seems is channeling his inner Tom Seleck and growing his own. A few weeks ago The Boston Globe's Wesley Morris wrote a hilarious story entitled, "Who took my 'stash?, The sad and curious exile of the American mustache."In it he says, "For most of the 20th century, the mustache was a serious option for follicular self-expression - an elastic emblem of masculinity", but now "As far as pop culture is concerned, the mustache remains trapped in the land of porn and irony." For the first week of Derek's mustache I had a difficult time making eye contact with him with out bursting into laughter, but if he continues to listen to Kelly's words of encouragement he should be in full bloom and ready for viewing by this weekend!

The only acceptable mustache

Am I the only one that thinks this is pretty?
Most people will remember this years VMA"S for a different reason, but hairdressers across the country noticed this beautiful "etch a sketch" hair do. This is one of the moments I wish I had a more diverse clientele and could draw designs on my clients scalps. I imagine this same look would probably look creepy on someone with a pale scalp, but if anyone out there wants to give it a try, I am the girl!

Another idea for the long haired gals
Someone told me to check out Carmen Electra's new look and I discovered a model named Alice Dellal (on the right) who may have inspired her new hairstyle. I guess it is a way to combine the femininity of long hair with the edginess of a punk look. What it reminds me of was the time my friend Amy, Marie and I skipped school junior year and did the same thing to the back of our heads. Our goal was to go school with our hair down so our parents wouldn't notice, but once at school put our hair up in a ponytail. We wanted to freak out the nuns and impress the girls who were more concerned with 80's style big hair with what rebels we were. So I guess it is a similar objective, and another idea for those long hair girls who have run out of new ideas on how to change up there look!
