Ever since Diane posted that picture of me, in my homage to Kurt Cobain (an OG Transfriender)…
….I’ve been overwhelmed with requests from major beauty conglomerates to be their exclusive hair model. Apparently, many of these companies are looking to cast outside of “the box” for their new spokesperson. They’re tired of the alert, smiling, porcelain-skinned model seen over and over, with blinding white teeth and lustrous, bouncing (real) hair. They’re finally pushing that stale advertising envelope — and are apparently on the lookout for someone not so alert and more….sleep deprived, stubbled and mustachioed.
What once was intended merely as a drive-by-laugh in Ned Brown’s office — you know, a quick, throw away attempt at comic relief at the end of a very long work day — is looking to turn into BIG BU$INE$$!
I’ll have Aveda on the phone one minute, when Bumble and Bumble will buzz in on the other line. I don’t know where all this hair stuff is headed — (“…headed”) — but keep scanning the billboards for someone with new summer highlights AND a handlebar.
And on the subject of split ends….. I can’t stop listening to these early summer releases:
