So on Halloween the dude in the pics above went out dressed as a … well, a Men’s Rights Activist, I guess, or maybe a GamerGater, or Redditor? Something along those lines. Whatever he was, he apparently won second prize in some sort of costume contest.
Well, the dude at the Tumblr blog Indefinite Free Pizza is having none of it:
I have to admit he’s kind of got a point about the Doritos.
And he does have some awesome cat pics on his Tumblr as well.
I mean, just look at these awesome cats.
But I think there’s something terribly wrong with this bird.

I wonder if he had ye olde equivalent of Beliebers mooning after his portraits back in the day.
I’ve never had a stubble rash. When the hair is still really short and it’s got that blunt end because it was cut it can be very hard and abrasive but unless you’re really pushing up and dragging against it I’m not sure where the rashes come from. Never experienced one upstairs or down. Hm. My guess would be it’s all in the pressure applied and how vigourous one’s movements are. I was smooching this dude last week who had a couple days’ stubble and we just kept the movements smooth and didn’t apply tons of pressure and it was great.
In other hair news, I got mine chopped last week and let my girl do whatever she felt like. She gave me these short frigging Bettie Page bangs I just can’t get behind. It’s OK. Three weeks and they’ll be of a reasonable length again.
Ugh, bangs. I just can’t, too much work.
(I’m guessing this may be less the case if your hair is straight.)
Or maybe they just don’t consume culture beyond the superficial level GEEZ I WONDER IF THERE’S A PATTERN HERE 😛
Super duper curly. I’ve never had to style my hair daily before. I look absurd of I do not now.
Yeah curly fringe is awkward. My hairdresser tried to talk me into it once and when she got to the part about having to blow dry it every day I was all, um, have we met? Surely you jest.
I like having a curly fringe. Mostly because it’s really easy to denote a shitty stick figure as being me by just giving it an Aeris fringe and glasses.
Actually, I once did a ‘Major Feminazi’ costume for halloween. It was basically a nazi uniform, only with a really short skirt and armbands with the female symbol instead of a swastika. Not one of my best ideas, looking back, and I certainly wouldn’t do it again.
Still, the objectionable part of my costume wasn’t the ‘dressing up as a feminist’ so much as the ‘dressing up as a nazi’ part, contrary to Indefinite Free Pizza’s claims. Hell, I’d think it’d be awesome to see someone dressed up as a suffragette for Halloween. Better yet, a zombie suffragette, or even- *gasps* ZOMBIE DWORKIN!
“This costume is so objectionable! He is wearing a guy Fawkes mask! I love guy Fawkes! And Doritos and Dew are delicious! And fedoras (cough, cough, trilbys) are totally classy! And he has a sign claiming Misandry is real! Why is he making fun of everything I, as a MRA, hold dear!”
I love how his argument isn’t that the costume isn’t realistic, it’s that it’s too realistic.
Liking only certain types of facial hair is misandry, too. As is liking actual fedoras only on certain people/with certain clothes. (Notice that MRAs etc. will be excluded from all these categories.)
I think he did – he was a pop star of his day, iirc.
Hair convo!
My fringe is a little bit curly (or wavy?) but not enough to need straightening or anything, I’m glad to say.
Musicians with splendid hair – how about the teenage Boss?

I don’t know about his hair, but Franz Liszt was allegedly very much sought after for reasons other than his musical genius.
I am loving the idea of a suffragette Halloween costume! It wouldn’t be too difficult to put together either. Maybe next year.
My only disappointment is the slipknot shirt. Don’t bring slipknot into this. 🙁
One of the guys in the background is Marty McFly! What’s the other guy though? I can’t work it out.
Yeah, what’s the dude in the tights meant to be?
There are quite a few classical musicians who were pretty good looking when they were young. We are just used to seeing the wildly styled hair on an old dude image.
My mom dressed up my sister and I as “Sister Suffragettes” based on Winifred Banks from Mary Poppins one year when we were very small (no, we didn’t understand the costumes):

VOTES FOR WOMEN!
But there is a “straw feminist” costume. That one “villain of the week” from the Powderpuff Girls:

I am not certain but I think the tights with the black markings on them seem like one of the anti spiderman costumes.
You could always dress as the rouge Amazon from the Justice League cartoon who tried killing all the males with allergies or something.
Wild hair in need of a hat: Hector Berlioz

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good mop of hair must be in want of a hat.
LOL Kim, so true!
Not particularly on topic (well, musician) but I love this painting. Dress! Hair! Lute!

@kittehserf – MOD you read my mind! I’m reading the huge doorstopper biography in two parts by David Cairns right now. Only Berlioz can wear a neckbeard right.
