Brady To Bieber Cut- “Never Say Never”

October 1, 2011 / Paul Eide

We know for sure that Tom Brady cut his hair. But thanks to a well-placed hat, we don’t know exactly what he’s got going on under there. How sweet would it be if he had Cornrows? Or a Mowhawk?

Just like David Patten, David Givens, Jabar Gafney or Randy Moss before Bieber, Tommy B. didn’t need the “Bieber” cut to make him. Which is why he “cut” ties with it. “Never Say Never”, Justin. You were a “passing” fad and your modified “Bowl Cut” wasn’t gonna bring him “Down To Earth”- the cut was a “One Time” thing. Now, you’ll just have to find “Somebody To Love.”

The Handle Bar Moustache- Can You “Handle” It, Ladies?

September 22, 2011 / Paul Eide

What’s better than feeling a man’s moustache rub against your cheek, ladies? What’s better than its scent, its carefully crafted arc? It’s what makes a man, a man, baby. And that’s what you’re after.

The “Handlebar Moustache” says, “Hey baby I’m rough and tough and build things made out of iron and use power tools, casually, but I’ve also got the savior faire and finesse of a young Tom Selleck- how far is your apartment from here?”

If you want to set the MLB all time save record when you grow up, here’s how to groom your own “Handlebar”.

Remember ladies, the “Handlebar” likes to tickle- and don’t you like to be tickled??

The man featured in the accompanying photo is none other than NFL badass running back John Riggins. A man who had some famously choice words for one Sandra Day O’Connor. If he could rock it, then where’s the shame?

When was the last time you saw a really killer white afro? Yeah, I know, I can’t remember either. So maybe we, me and you, should be that guy. Chicks love weirdoes, look at Phil Spector, Anthony Weiner and Scott Peterson.

Maybe you just don’t know the steps to grooming one, perhaps. If that’s the case, this dude seems to have a decent idea.

The “Bowl Cut”: When Dudes Were Dudes

September 3, 2011 / Paul Eide

Ahhh, the “Bowl Cut”. For a while there in the early 90’s every dude I knew had one, and there was almost an unspoken hierarchy based on how yours was cut. The longer the hair on top was, and the more “skinned” the hair underneath was, the more “badass” it was. Hence the evolution from the “Bowl Cut” to the “Flop” that all the skaters rocked with their “Vision Street Wear” t-shirts.

Lately, celebrities from Lady Gaga and Rhianna have been sporting variations of the “Bowl Cut” which begs the ultimate question- Isn’t Justin Bieber’s “signature” hairdo nothing more than an overgrown, poorly maintained “Bowl Cut”?
