1980's Hair Lady

I realized today that at every legitimate job I have held there has been at least one lady who has a bad case of 1980's hair. You know the type. It’s all moussed up with big frilly bangs. Just awful. This needs to stop, I’m not kidding. If your reading this and you now wonder if you have 80's hair, worry not. I wouldn't associate myself with you if you had 80's hair. Call me what you will, but that's the choice I make. Although, if you do have to ask yourself this question; maybe you should start thinking about a change. Just a suggestion.

It's bad enough when your hairstyle, man or woman, can be "dated." But it’s worse when it can be dated by two decades. I have searched my thoughts and there really is no excuse for this. I mean, they obviously have watched TV or have seen a movie since 1989. Right? They must have. Shouldn't a hairdresser or barber have said something by now? Why would they allow this? Can we enact a law to give hairdressers unilateral power to prevent these atrocities and other hair travesties? I just don't see any logical explanation for this. At what point did this person mousse the crap out of their permed-looking hair and say, "That's it! I've found the perfect hairstyle! Well, I guess I don't have to worry about that anymore," before they checked "Find a new doo" off their list of things to do? I mean was "Pay the bill" on there too? If it was they might be in trouble because most to-do lists are not static entities, they are evolving. Just like the water bill and feeding yourself, finding a new hairstyle needs to be done every so often. I mean, you don’t see guys with flattops anymore. And where do you get mousse anyways? I thought we eighty-sixed it long ago along with Milly Vanilly, New Coke, and other relics of the eighties. I just don’t understand.

(Sidenote: The 80's can be cool. Proof? Check out Retro Junk for the coolest 70's, 80's and 90's TV shows, commercials and movies. They have the intros to all the shows. Just fantastic. Trsut me on this, you won't be dissapointed).

What is worse is that the 1980's hair lady here at work wears 1980's clothes as well. No joke. Furthermore, Alex noted that sometimes her clothes are more than two decades behind. Yikes! The most mind blowing thing is that she is one of the decor designers for our company. How is it that someone who I wouldn't trust to dress my family's dog is in the position to design and decorate hotel rooms across the country?

I don't know, but when it comes right down to it, I don't want someone designing stuff for me, in any aspect of life, who may still be influenced by George Michael and Wham!. Period.
