Hairstyles replace art

Seeing an extraordinary hairstyle walking up Madison Avenue yesterday put me in a hairstyle mood. I ran around the Whitney announcing that CNN was reporting as its lead story that postmodernism had "ended at 3pm this afternoon" and that consequently hairstyles had replaced contemporary art. So when I got to the School of Visual Arts open studios I naturally paid more attention to the hairstyles on display than the art.

You saw a culture in a hairstyle?

It is a fine line to walk, that avant-hair. In the past few months, I have been struggling to grow my hair out in the hopes of some day, in many years, being crowned with mermaid-like hair. I feel a like a bit of a bore without my concept haircut, it was kind of great to have a soft sculpture on my head all the time. I thought with long hair, those would be halcyon days, but oh, what an inspiration rich Rapunzel is!

Hold up there a moment, Whimsy; there's no call for that sort of homophobic calumny!

Postpunk? Skinhead (girl), surely?
Although the lack of light may be concealing some non-skinhead detailing.

Here's how mine is looking today:



What shall we call this style? The "Thin Primp", perhaps?

i used to have 'Lain' hair [thanks in part to the little Japanese hair spot by Washington Square Park]....then some Los Angelese Vidal Sasoonites in training conspired to make me into a "Geisha Punk" with a fin and shaved sides a colour called "shimmering mauve"....
now i'm shaping my hair, grown a bit longer, to accomodate the height of my cowlicks and create an anime-esque [though brown as fertile soil] bubble with a formidable circumference. no more blue. hair in my eyes like a mod or a shoegazer.

my boyfriend's is tentatively titled "founding fathers' chic."

i like when my housemate lets me borrow his Russian rabbit hat, the same colour as my hair.
i like the wool behive and the olamm. :)
and i like your hair because it is very soft like a baby's.

have you yet been able to approximate the hairstyle of the devil?

oh-my. "founding fathers' chic".
my dream coiffure! i'd love to see that!
so which one does he resemble most?

i've been fantasizing about a georgewashingtonesque hairdo since when was it. hair is too short for the little braid now.

then again it ought to be a wig.

Odd synchronicity, I'd just been writing about hairstyles myself.

Actually, even o.lamm himself doesn't look as much like "olamm" as that fellow last night did.

Uncanny! My hair was standing on end!

somewhere along the line it (art culture) started being less about the art itself and more about who makes it. it probably has something to do with profiles in art magazines, or andy warhol or beethoven or maybe just that art got so gnostic that it needed the artist to explain it to most people. It's not a bad thing, but a thing.

i'll go for the topknot and twisted forecurls.
+ glasses + suspenders or is it a bag.
but without the sideburns because i don't produce sideburn.

The best part about having a job is that I don't have to have hair like that.

Bland overachievers gone wild. If you ever wondered who the target audience is for Modern Affluent Parent magazine, you're looking at their college years.

All very different, and yet, all of those hairstyles still scream ridiculously-boring-New-Yorker to me.

Except maybe Alexandre.

Well, it seems that Alexandre (who is my flatmate in East Williamsburg, and a member of art group PreRoman Britain) wins. I shall crown his whorl with laurel wreaths the next time I see him in the kitchen area of our loft.
