That Time I Pulled an Emma Watson

A couple days ago, I got to be a hair model for the Vidal Sassoon in Chicago. The photo above is a doodle of the haircut I was given; the classic Five Point cut created by Vidal in the 60s. It's a geometric cut that revolutionized the way hairdressers looked at shaping hair. I would take a picture of my own hair, but I don't feel like taking a photo in this shitty apartment within an arms-length of my head would really do this haircut proper justice.

The greatest part about the whole thing? I got Mark Hayes to cut my hair. Mark Hayes, the international creative director at Vidal Sassoon (in London bitches!) cut my hair not only for free, but paid me to let him do it! He was so charming and really a brilliant hairdresser.

I'm so glad I finally got my hair cut short too. I've been wanting to for the longest time, but I wasn't sure exactly what style I wanted and I wasn't sure where to go to get it done. But this was the push I needed. I've got to say, I absolutely love it. Vidal's "wash and wear" philosophy definitely applies here. I haven't had to take a blow dryer to my hair once since I've had this hair cut, it really styles itself. You might think that this kind of cut isn't very wearable outside of a runway, but I've figured out a few ways to style it that make it much more every day.

Here's how I'm wearing it tonight:
It's kind of fun slicking it back like that, it makes me feel like a boy. Is that weird?

Cabin Fever

So I've FINALLY found a new pot connect and let me tell you, this past week has been spectacular. Try quitting for a while and see how stoned you get, I'm serious. It's ridiculous. And wonderful considering there's becoming less and less to do as the days get shorter and the nights grow colder.

In other news...

I've been watching this anime show called High School of the Dead (based off the manga/comic book series of the same name), and I must say it's the most entertaining thing I've discovered in a while.

It's very melodramatic, and the girls are drawn like absurd sex machines, and it's sometimes poorly translated, and there's a rapey teacher character that everyone seems to be unfazed by (pretty much the same as any other adult anime show) but once you get past all the cheesiness and gratuitous crotch shots you've got yourself a pretty badass show.

The fantastic thing about animated horror is that you have no limits to set your effects to due to budgeting and technology. And I love how the illustrator will set up such grotesque zombie interactions against the serene and absolutely beautiful backdrop of the city they live in.

If you're in the mood for something a little shitty and weird, I say go for this show. Definitely worth a few laughs if nothing more. Not to mention, if you have Netflix, it's on instant-watch bitches!!!

Okay okay okay there's one more thing. Now I definitely could write a separate review about this, it's definitely deserving of one, but since I'm lazy and there on a slightly-related topic I figured I'd just put both of these recommendations in one post:

Dead Space: Downfall is a movie (also anime) based off the video game series(although technically it's considered the prequel to the first video game). It doesn't have all the stupid sexual innuendos than High School of the Dead, has way more action and suspense, and is just about 99 times better than the show above, but like I said, I was too lazy to make a separate recommendation.

Oh, one more thing. I was asked to model for another hair show and the model call is in like an hour, so I'm going to check it out and provided I'm not getting micro bangs, I think I'm gonna go for it. It's extra cash for the holidays, right?
