Here is my list of the men with the best hair ever! And the story behind my obsession with long haired men and how I started liking them. You see that guy in the picture beside these words? That guy and his pretty hair has caused me all sorts of trouble my entire life! But just look at his hair! OMG! He has the world's prettiest hair ever! When I was about 5 years old, I remember seeing a magazine in the store, and I pointed it out to my mother and said "I want that guy's hair!" I had no idea who it was on the cover of the magazine. At 5 years old, you don't know too much about what you want in life, but the instant I saw the picture on the magazine I knew one thing and one thing only: that was the prettiest hair I had ever seen, and I wanted it! It would be about another 10 more years before I would ever see a picture of that same guy again. The next time I saw him, again on the cover of a magazine, I looked at him and said once again to my mom "OMG! It's that guy with the gorgeous hair! I want that guy's hair!" This time I picked up the magazine (Metal Edge) and flipped through it to find out who this guy was, and to get a better look at that really amazing hair he had, and still had all these years later. I did not buy the magazine, and went about my day, and soon forgot about the guy with the amazing hair, including to forget what his name was! For several more years, I told everyone, the same thing... I want that guy's hair. And I wished could remember who he was so I could look him up and show people who I was talking about. He was a singer from the 1970's I knew that much, cause I was 5 the first time I'd seen him, but without a name, no one knew who he was, so I realized something else, he either was not very famous, or he sang a style music that no one I knew listened too, because I didn't know any body who could figure out who he was. Both turned out to be true, as I would later find out he was not very popular, and he was a drag queen-esk glam rocking heavy metal punk singer, who an awful lot of people actually hated! It's weird how things go about in life. The adults in my life were always telling me about the *evil singers* I shouldn't listen too. There were several names thrown around. Often in church I would heard about one really wicked guy who we should have nothing to do with, so dutiful little lamb that I was I avoided him at all costs. If one of those preachers had only shown me a picture of this evil singer they kept telling me not to listen too! WOW! I'd have gone head over heels and bought ever album in an instant just so I could have a bunch of pictures of his hair, because as it turned out, this evil singer I was avoiding and the gorgeous haired guy I was looking for were one in the same person and I didn't know it! LOL! Well, still not knowing who this guy was, I asked a hair stylist how hard it would be to do that to my hair, trying to describe what it looked like, wishing I had bought that magazine so many years ago, I could show her a picture of what I meant. I described what his hair looked like, and the response I got, was a shocked: "You want to do WHAT! NO! NO! NO! You have such beautiful long straight black hair.... it won't take that kind of perm, and no way would I dare try to bleach it white... you'd risk losing it!" Okay, so I still have my really long straight black hair, and I still had no idea the name of the guy, whose hair, I had literally fallen in love with. I want this guy's hair, so bad! It would be another 12 years before I would find out the name of the guy whose hair I wanted. I found out, in December of 2007, nearly 30 years after the first time I'd seen a picture of him! My 3 brothers came over one day to use my computer and they headed to YouTube, because they wanted me to hear this *really great* Christmas song they had found on YouTube, by a singer they purposely did not mention the name of. They just turned the video on (knowing that if they had mentioned his name, I would not listen to it) because they wanted me to see this really great singer I had been avoiding all these years. They turned on YouTube, and start playing: "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" and OMG! there he was! The guy who's hair I've been wanting my whole life! My brothers listen to his music and I never knew it! And OMG! he was that *evil* singer preachers had told me not to listen too! It turns out, that the guy whose hair I'd gone completely crazy over, was Dee Snider, lead singer of Twisted Sister! The lesson here? LONG HAIR IS SEXY! It can effect your whole life! Don't Ever Forget It! Sun, 02 Jan 2011 04:25:29 -0600
