I have new hair!!!

Sorry to bother yez all, but I had to share this with someone- I now have Bagpuss hair! Pink/white stripes. One of my friends has started a hair salon, my flatmate's doing make-up for her, and my ex-girlfriend's doing a photography course! They needed me as a model... and said they'd give me Bagpuss hair if I agreed. So I did. Yay! (Bagpuss car within next week, too.)

So... rather than getting nostalgic about the hair we USED to have, who's got new shit on their head they wanna tell us about?

I have new hair. I'm a sexy bitch. Yowza.

I cut my hair last month. It used to be halfway down my back then I got it cut real short and now its starting to grow back..im losing my sexy bastardness.

I keep getting suggestive looks from people. People who I knew before keep looking at me, and then looking again to check, and then... I don't know. There's something vaguely sexual in the eye. I can't take this. I can't take it. It's making me feel a trifle uneasy, so I've been hiding out in my room for the last week. If only I still had my hair to hide my face.

I'm heading more towards an unholy combination of goth versions of Morrissey and Elvis as you read. Edging ever so slightly away from the Rollins look... well, until the next ROTHKOID SMASH! moment, anyway.

Oh yeah.

I just have to learn to use a comb when I dye... ahem. Tidemarks not good. But Very Metal. Then again, so is the mullet, so I should probably shut up now.

When I read this topic name, though, Stoatie, I couldn't help but imagine you in some kind of accountancy hair-helmet. Which is terrifying. I can't tell you how glad I am that no spray-on hair is involved in this tale.

Having had two disastrous haircuts in the past two months, I've now decided to simply let the littlr fuckers grow. Of course, with additional length the errors of the last haircut are all the more obvious. On the left, we have a frankenstein-esque cliff-face terminating in an almost 90-degree angle. On the right, a nicely convex curve. Gel is being used to simply spike everything together until I can figure out what to do (bagpuss hair sounds pretty interesting...). Any suggestions?

Sounds marvellous - will have to lurk around Stokey seeing if I can catch a glimpse of the man with fat furry catpuss hair.

I'm reckoning on doing mine blue, possibly Wolveriney, for my story performance. I've got two meetings at work the next couple of weeks after, so it won't go down well, but what they gonna do - sack me? (haw haw)

I did something like that once, SFD. I was working in a very conservative law firm and turned up on Monday with what had been fire-engine red hair before it was hurriedly toned down on Sunday night. The partner managing my department called me into his office to give me the little speech that begins with the "personally, I'm not offended but..." introduction and ends with the "if you ever do this again..." conclusion.

It is very difficult to sack someone for the color of their hair, fortunately.

Shit just keeps getting weirder... about to leave for work last night when the girl who did my hair phoned.

Okay- bit of background. She's American, only moved here a couple of years ago, and has never seen Bagpuss. Her only real knowledge of it is through my Bagpuss obsession and inevitable haircut.

So... she's in a shop yesterday, and overhears some people talking about Bagpuss. She goes over and says "How come you're talking about Bagpuss? My friend's obsessed with Bagpuss" etc.

Turns out one of them was EMILY!!! And (as I remember someone saying on here a few months back) she still has the original Bagpuss! So my friend's gonna send her a photo of my hair, as she was very curious, and... maybe, just maybe... I may meet Bagpuss himself!

(I'm sure these weird coincidences have only been happening since I got my Chaosphere tattoo...)

Shortfatdyke

11:45 / 11.09.02

Wow. My heart's going thumpy thump at the thought of meeting the real Emily. Can we consider her as someone for the Barbelith invitation only wishlist?

Auszilla - I got more or less sacked for having hair of many colours. When my contract ran out I was told that, although I was the best worker they had, I was never to apply for a job there again.

Goodness Gracious Meme

15:30 / 11.09.02

I second that wow. my god.

btw your hair sounds excellent, can we hang out with your bagpuss aura? pleeeeease?

I grade 3'd mine last week - I now have the softest hair in the universe, my friends can't keep their hands off it... (shame) and it makes my feeble upper torso look slightly more pumped - yay!

waiting for it to grow to add colour... sfd - also considering blue, oddly

Bear

15:37 / 11.09.02

Imagine meeting Emily how cool would that be, does she have any of the original mice?

My hair is terrible, it was all shaved off but now its growing back in and looks all fuzzy - I have no idea what to do with it, I've had it long, had the mohawk and had it all shaved off...Thinking I might go for a perm next or a mullet...

Shortfatdyke

16:33 / 11.09.02

No, no - you must let the fuzz grow, so we can call you Hair Bear.

William Sack

17:02 / 11.09.02

aus - it's actually very easy to sack someone for hair colour/style depending on the circumstances, in the UK at least. I even know of a black woman who was sacked by a chain high street opticians (I wish I could remember their name so I could shout it around loudly and clearly) for having dreadlocks. She had been working there for a while and then a new manager came in and told her to change her hairstyle. She didn't, pointing out that she had the option of growing an afro, which she didn't want, or using hair straightener, which she didn't want to do - and so the dreads stayed but she was sacked. But she took her case to an Employment Tribunal claiming race discrimination. Sometimes the law isn't an ass - she won her case hands-down and the Tribunal apparently kicked the manager around court without mercy.

Sorry to go off-topic. The Bagpuss news is genuinely thrilling.

I had interesting new hair a few weeks ago, its sorta grown out now though.
I was soooo super skint i asked my g/f (being a sexy fashion student) to do my hair, i mean shes an artist no problem...?

Well i must say, for the first time doing it ever (not what she said though) it was actually quite good, looked really nice from the front.
Only problem was the interesting abstract chunks cut out at the back

Haven't cut the hair onmy face for months. Every day I have a little bit of new hair.

Stoatie, yer BagpussMobile may be arriving soon, but I think my Pirate Galleon arrives in the mail on Tuesday to go with my new hair.

I have black spiky hair again! And, since I actually do look like a goth Morrissey (unlike Rothkoid, who only has the hair), I have been ceremonially mocked for the last two weeks by my spooky lover. Fun, that...

Meeting Emily rocks in so many ways. But do you suppose...I mean...what if she's grown up...

Thought there'd be one of these already

I have new hair. Or rather, no hair.

Haven't been bald in years, and aside from the fact that I have the hairline of a lego figure, I am loving it. Nice and coooooooooool, no haircare regime, wheeeeeeeee

Cat Chant

15:39 / 20.06.05

*jealous* My very cool asymmetrical/spiky Melbourne cut has now grown out, so it (a) looks rubbish and (b) is TOO HOT, but I have spiffy new job starting in september so I don't know about shaving it...

hence, *jealous* of lovely baldness.

Oh, but you made such a great Dennis The Menace...

I'm torn at the moment. The revival of this thread has confused me further. I need to get lilly (for it was she to whom I referred at the beginning of this thread in her pre-Barbelith days) to do my hair again. I was all set for short, or no hair, or just more bleach and spikier (I'm feeling paricularly glam rock at the mo). Now I'm feeling the call of Bagpuss once more...

17:59 / 20.06.05

*sigh*

Mine's falling out.

I reckon it's got one last hurrah of a half-decent cut before I give in to the inevitable and get it all shaved off

Of course, there's always comb-overs...

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

19:08 / 20.06.05

Mine should also be dead, given what I used to do to it, but it seems to hang on.

Having said that, I used to say that about my teeth, and recent dental events have convinced me otherwise...

paranoidwriter waves hello

19:17 / 20.06.05

My teeth and hair are in a bad way too. Indeed, I'd even go as far as saying I'm scared of dentists and hairdressers as I've had BAD experiences with both..(anecdotes available on request)....

(Sorry if the following sounds dumb or perserse, but I promise I'm being sincere) BTW, who's lilly? Is ze cheap? Does ze do private sessions (i.e not in the front of a highly exposed shop on a High Street, and placed slap bang in front of a huge mirror so you have to stare at yourself for twenty minutes, etc..)?

Dude, wigs. It's worked for me since 2000...

Pondering having mine crewcutted - it's not too long, but the heat. Mind you, too short and my scalp will burn. Time for a hat. Or a wig made of straw.

paranoidwriter waves hello

20:42 / 20.06.05

Time for a hat. Or a wig made of straw.

Or maybe it's time to Regenerate? Or, talking of straw, you could do a Worzel Gummidge and get a new head?

I might join you: it's the heat; my brains cooking. Can anyone else smell chicken?

Shrug

21:19 / 20.06.05

I am getting new hair tomorrow! Usually when it gets to a certain length I just blade 1 it so I am really looking forward to a change. Though I think that there is limited possibilities for men with shortish hair if they want to avoid a fauxhawk or mullet and have work restrictions regarding colour so I'm sure that I might end up a little dissapointed.
Then again SQUEEEEEE!

12:33 / 21.06.05

Too late (and I knew that they would try and foist something like this on me if I didn't have a set idea about style) I now have something that borders both a fauxhawk and a mullet.
I AM MULLET-HAWK HEAR ME ROAR!
