• i like this one - auntnanny
  • ha ha ha ha ha ha - auntnanny
  • The local TV newswoman 'do. I think there is an FCC regulation that they must have ridiculous hairstyles.
  • Yes, it's the official middle-school home economics teacher hairdo!
  • The "heat miser." It was among the men's selections.
  • So to get this one, does one walk into the hair salon and say "make me look like I just spent 20 hours on a Greyhound bus?" Does one then pay $50 for the privilege?
  • The "Bridezilla."
  • I have actually sported a 'do like this in the past. Actually, if I weren't too lazy to apply hair products I could probably sport it right now ...
  • This one, from the men's selections, comes closest to my actual current hair.
  • The "Bubble-head Charm"

    The hair over my eyes would drive me up the wall.
  • The "Desperate Housewife."
  • many years ago I sported a slightly shorter and not-quite-as-full version of this.
  • It's not bad. My actual hair wouldn't stay this perky for longer than 10 minutes, though.
  • All my life I wanted curly hair. Sigh ...
  • this is my favorite, no doubt about it - moufle
  • CNN anchor hair (they're lots more processed than the network gals) - moufle
  • I'd call this "three hairstyles of Eve" for its split between long and curly, long and straight, and bed head - moufle

  • I'll have this gal! - Big Al Davies
  • My hair was like that for awhile, and btw i'm straight! - serenitynow78

  • A Very Brady Hairdo - Crystl
  • Noooo!! It's so not me!
  • i like this one best! - Sabinche
  • Me too!
  • Where can you get a decent haircut for fifty dollars? That's cheap! - Ingrid!
  • Not every place is as expensive as NY!! And this isn't exactly what I'd call a "good" haircut ...
  • This do frightens me a little. - Esther17
  • I'm thinking Annie Potts, in 'Pretty in Pink'; just no bouffant do. - Esther17

Auntnanny, because she is evil, pointed me to this Clairol thingie where you can try different hairstyles and colors on your face. Heinous and fascinating. She even took a photo of me, in which I don't look terribly drunk or psychotic, and for that I am grateful.

    This is priceless.

    This is hilarious, pants!

    This is great. It's a mini-meme. Memelet. A self-contained meme--

    Auto-meme!

    You didn't solicit opinions, but personally I'd vote for the bottom row, second from the left, when you have more time to glam up. For real life, the style in the top-left corner shows off your eyes and great facial structure while not looking too severe (which, IMHO, some of the shorter styles here tend to do).

    Of course, there are a dozen cute women here, so it's hard to choose. :-)

  6. moufle (82 months ago)

    gawd! I so want to do this! I need and approriate photo. stay tuned! thank you so much for sharing. it's the stuff of 16-year-old girl dreams!

  7. bunchofpants (82 months ago)

    Do it, moufle!!

    Thanks auntnanny, It'sGreg and CS geek! And what a sweet thing to say, Matt!

    To do the one you like (The "bridezilla!"), I'd have to grow my hair out or get some fake hair to pin on top. I'm afraid I'm just not glam enough to go to the trouble, however ...

  8. Brenda Anderson (82 months ago)

    hee hee hee I must try this. :)

  9. Korova Fartbar (82 months ago)

    astonishingly accurate notes there, pants

  10. Korova Fartbar (82 months ago)

    go for Bubble-head charm!!

    wigtastic

  12. zorilla (82 months ago)

    Hilarious - but which look did you go for in the end? The Greyhound perchance?

  13. Brenda Anderson (82 months ago)

    I only had the patience to upload one new 'do, so I chose the best of the bunch... :)

    new you

  14. serenitynow78 (82 months ago)

    no kidding. i'm totally doing it too. hope they have a dreadlocks option!

  15. bfelice (82 months ago)

    oh man, hair, it is so frustrating especially when you have willful hair. i don't like any of them, i think they all involve unreal expectations for hair compliance.

  16. Voxphoto (82 months ago)

    This is madness! I notice they don't seem to have "the Einstein," which is the one that would apply to me lately...

  17. emdot (82 months ago)

    Okay, I just spent an hour doing this and now I think I am depressed. :) Me and hair styles? THEY DON'T HAPPEN. :)

    Wait. What? It's supposed to be a joke? (kinda?) I'm still pouting!!

    bfelice, that is classic. LOL!

  20. Sabinche (82 months ago)

    great idea! :)

  21. bunchofpants (82 months ago)

    Hey emdot, maybe your current hairstyle is just too perfect to mess with! (I like the pigtail look you've sported in a pic or two!)

  22. Big Al Davies [deleted] (82 months ago)

    Especially with the heart cap!

  23. The Rocketeer (82 months ago)

    There's a lot of nice looks in there for you BOP.

  24. Aaron Edwards (82 months ago)

    I personally have to thank you for the time-waster which you've done oh so very well here. I've been working on a big poject and the distraction was welcome - needed, even.

    I am indebted to you and Moufle-loofa.

  25. bunchofpants (82 months ago)

    you're very welcome, EVill1!!

  26. Irregular Shed (82 months ago)

    The "Bubble-Head charm" hairstyle is too much like 60s child murderess Myra Hindley for my liking. Not a good look to have, IMHO.

    But a brilliant photo that cheered up a nightmare day yesterday =)

  27. bunchofpants (82 months ago)

    sizeofguam, it was unplanned, but I'm happy it worked out that way!

    Egads, Irregular Shed! I really don't like that hairdo now! I'm sorry your day was horrible and I'm glad I could help!

  28. filmtank (82 months ago)

    Ha Ha. Funny stuff! Where's the mullet?

  29. bunchofpants (82 months ago)

    Thanks, filmtank. I think the "party" end of the mullet is not visible--it's at the back of the "Middle School Home Ec teacher" 'do (second row on the left).

  30. Patrick Q (76 months ago)

    Please post this photo to Mosaic Portraits

  31. rev_justin (74 months ago)

    how is it that everytime I search for photos this always pops up?

  32. bunchofpants (74 months ago)

    I dunno rev_justin ... maybe that's why this pic has so freaking many views. I can't figure out why!

  33. rev_justin (74 months ago)

    I guess aside from being a neat-o picture, the flickrgods have deemed it veiw worthy :) Must say it prompted me to register at clairol and I'm bald.

  34. Esther17 (73 months ago)

    I've been wanting to try this ever since I first laid eyes on this pic. I think I may just have to dive in at some point today and check out the freakiness.

  35. bunchofpants (73 months ago)

    Yes, please do, Esther! maybe yours will rack up an unseemly number of views, too. It's sort creepy thinking about how many people have looked at this ...

  36. farlane (73 months ago)

    Speaking of creepy, this picture gave me a flashback to The Heads of Langwidere in Ozma of Oz by L. Frank Baum:
    Now I must explain to you that the Princess Langwidere had thirty heads—as many as there are days in the month. But of course she could only wear one of them at a time, because she had but one neck. These heads were kept in what she called her “cabinet,” which was a beautiful dressing-room that lay just between Langwidere’s sleeping-chamber and the mirrored sitting-room. Each head was in a separate cupboard lined with velvet. The cupboards ran all around the sides of the dressing-room, and had elaborately carved doors with gold numbers on the outside and jeweled-framed mirrors on the inside of them.

    When the Princess got out of her crystal bed in the morning she went to her cabinet, opened one of the velvet-lined cupboards, and took the head it contained from its golden shelf. Then, by the aid of the mirror inside the open door, she put on the head—as neat and straight as could be—and afterward called her maids to robe her for the day. She always wore a simple white costume, that suited all the heads. For, being able to change her face whenever she liked, the Princess had no interest in wearing a variety of gowns, as have other ladies who are compelled to wear the same face constantly.

  37. bunchofpants (73 months ago)

    Wow, that is creepy! I should read it.

  38. farlane (73 months ago)

    Indeed. It was so creepy and nostalgic I had to blog it. I hope you don't mind.

  39. bunchofpants (73 months ago)

    I don't mind ... someday that collage will be the only lasting legacy of me on earth ... might as well just enjoy it.

  40. pierofix (73 months ago)

    Funny! :D

  41. Vina the Great (73 months ago)

    hehehe that's so much fun! especially because I don't have a clue what you really look like :)

  42. bunchofpants (73 months ago)

    Middle row, second from right, except that I normally wear plastic-framed glasses (like my icon).

  43. auntnanny (73 months ago)

    25,520 views? Whoa!

    Any chance for an encore?

  44. Esther17 (73 months ago)

    So I finally did this, but now, I'm stuck trying to figure out how to extract the heads from the background, like yours are. ::shakes fist at PS newbie self::

  45. bunchofpants (73 months ago)

    I had Auntanny take a mug of me against a solid background, and then I subtracted the background first, before uploading the mug to the Clairol site. Because the background was already white, I just screen-captured them and stuck them together.

  46. farlane (72 months ago)

    Hmm. I think that pics reach a certain point where they go mega and become unavoidable. I was search for a picture of a guitar amp and got this. Before long, it will come up for searches for "cottage cheese", "vicodin" and "george w. bush".

  47. bunchofpants (72 months ago)

    I'm going to be mega! I like the sound of that ...

  48. farlane (72 months ago)

    Going to be? This pic has more views than all mine put together ... you ARE mega.

  49. auntnanny (72 months ago)

    Can I start calling you, "Amega?"
