Although I've always imagined myself to be pretty gay - God, I can say the nelliest stuff in the operating theatre - but it's clear that I haven't exactly fulfilled all the requirements for my pink passport yet. It has come to my attention that I don't have fabulous gay hair ( well, I don't have the prerequisite tight muscle mary bod either but that's another thing entirely ) which obviously makes it hard for other members of the pink posse to pick me out amongst the overwhelming crowd of other nondescript hideous homely heterosexual men.
Seriously. Gay hair. Just when I was thinking of having my hair cut, I was told that I should get the prerequisite gay haircut. Somehow or rather, I seriously doubt that my friendly neighbourhood Indian barber would have frou frou gay curls in his possibly limited repertoire. Surely this information would have some of my trendier sisters swooning in their towering Manolos but I actually drop by the local Indian barber when I'm in a hurry.
And I'm usually in a hurry for some reason.
For those not from around these parts, Indian barbershops are the fading icons of haircare in these parts with their swivelling electric chairs, their flashing barber poles and the horrible slap of the wet soap at the end followed by the unusual neck massage/abuse. The one that I frequent used to be located close to the hospital where I work, a lowly makeshift shack scrunched up beside a leafy banyan tree - a far cry from the glittery, oh-so-posh palaces of hairtylists where a simple snip costs more than I would make in a day.
Still, as I glanced at my rearview and caught a glimpse of my hideous homely face with the unruly black locks, I made a quick U-turn instead. How un-fabulous could I possibly look? Perhaps a gay clone haircut would actually net me a hot boyfriend :)
Wishful thinking I'm sure but what the hell, I can always hope.

just wear a baseball cap, thats what i do. its fast, its simple and it makes a statement. also, for a reason i still cant quite understand, it makes my hair grow nicer, nice enuf for me to get a truely great haircut when its grows long enuf. if caps arent ur thing, u can opt to just shave it all off! bald and bare can be sexy too! (and "economical")
My haircut costs me 12 bucks, standard price. And usually I would stick to that place because they cut fairly nicely, though the workers seem to change every month, so it's like going to different places anyway. ;-p
I didn't know that there is such a thing as gay hair. I wanted to try those gravity defying spiky hair but my hair is on the fine and thin side. I end up cutting it short crewcut style number two (the number refers to the length which is quite short !)
Guess I have a long way before I can collect my pink card. LOL !
p/s: Homely face CAN be sexy, you know ?!! ;-p
It takes me AGES to work up the courage to change hairdressers. To put a month's worth of self-esteem in the hands of someone whose last name I don't even know... I once wore a cap for a month and a half.
well, ive actually decided to go and shear off all my hair tomoro and go back to a buzzed look. bf sez he's curious to c me like dat, so dats what i do. hehe.
Well, you don't have to have fabulous haircut or anything if you know how to adjust it with right products and a hair dryer. :)
I just like the part that the hair salon I go to does mani treatment for a guy even :)
Yeah Paul, go for hair short at the back and sides, longer and spiky (gelled) on top. Leggie's hair looks cute when he wears it like that.
I have no idea what a gay haircut would look like ... but if I did, I'd make sure not to have one. Might as well stick a fat label on my head saying 'victim here'. :o\
Woah. I'd like to get some 'mani' treatment on me hair! -sniggers-
Hey! I'm back to haunt your blog! ;D
Anyway... You don't really need a good haircut to attract guys! I think any hair will do... or maybe I'm just saying that cause I still fail to get a nice haircut! Joking!! *wink*
I have always been struggle with the hairstyle...
I just wish I have enough money to go to some posh salon. And need just to tell the hairdresser to cut my hair the way that it would made *Me* look good.
I worked on that with one hairdresser and then she left the palce without telling me... The owner told me where the woman's new place is but it just too far...
So now I have a short hair (I had cut it shor for the last 7 years, couldn't stand the long hair and it made me look worn out :P) that looks like it could be cut for 40 baht instead of 200...
I used to go to those next-door barbers until I shifted to a designer hair salon, and noticed a big difference. It's not about your hair being gay-looking or not, I think hair salons take the extra step to really style your hair based on your desire, unlike barbers who trim your hair in the cookie-cutter mundane cut. Which reminds me to go to the salon soon. My hair's gone long and everyone's comparing me to this local TV actor who's portraying some mythical hero wielding a huge sword. ^_^
I think u should focus on the gym rather then the hair ... will work better :P
For me, hair is the exact opposite of penises: shorter is always better. Then get some extra strong gel - Wella Shockwaves does a fabulous Xtrovert Styling Steel that'll keep your hair up all night. Which, come to think of it, is also a good trait in penises.
Geez....u visit a barber?
Let me suggest you to Peek-a-boo, they have award winning hair dresser, and it doesnt cost u a bomb...
Wow...Hmm...since when hair play a major role in getting a hot boyfriend?
Gay hair? didn't know such thing exist in PLU world as the line is that that clear. St8 guy, or metrosexual in reference sometimes has a better hairstyle than gay people though. As long as the hair is short n well maintain it should allow you to attract hot boyfriend.
Even bald guy didnt come short handed when it come to pick up hot guy. It just show that there are other main criteria instead of spending too much time for the hair..n I believe it speak for itself.
Be happy with you current hair, it should do you good ;)
Paul, go for messy spiky look. they are so in and cool. ;) and that will make you a really funky doc
Btw, speaking about hair...by any chance, can you get you hand of some PROPRECIA pills ;)
..me wanting to grow my hair...
Propecia will lower your libido since testosterone is also the cause of baldness.
Your new hair might get you men but you can't do anything with them during your propecia usage :P
Myahhh, I've been trying to change my hairstyle for years. Nothing else works - my stylists are stumped. Whatever.
But seriously. Gay *hair*? I think you current style is fine, Paul.
Hi, just to give you a big hug!
Wow! You have definitely one of the most number of comments posted in a day that I have come across so far!
Interesting reading! At least it's cheaper to get a hair cut in Malaysia then in Tokyo! I forsee numerous bad hair day for me in the next couple of months here until I'm willing to part US$50 for a nice hair cut! :-(
i'd say, you just follow what ca va said.
go for funky hairdo. an earing or two and a funky attitude.
then move in to nail some patients and fellow doctors with killer moves.
save barry for deserts.
Wear a baseball cap? Hmm.. will have to think of it, designdoc. Actually I have shaved my head off before so don't be surprised, lost :)
12 bucks haircut, leggy! :O
Homely faces sexy, Ahmad? Have you been looking at the right guys?
Jamie, afraid I'm not that fussy when it comes to my hair. It grows pretty fast and it's damned thick to boot.
ctalk, buzzed hair cut? Sounds hot :)
shigeki, you need to expand on that mani treatment thing :) Over here it means something else entirely which is why weeshiong is sniggering away.
ru, I already have pretty oily hair. Add that to the gel and I'd look like Elvis with an oil spill.
Am sure you look fine with your current cut, Chris. Anyway, who am i to say!
Pete, you're in Bangkok with cheap haircuts. Go get a decent one :)
Mark, I don't mind being compared to a mythical hero wielding a big sword. They're usually hot!
Anonymous, but the gym's fucking boring and tiring! Wait a minute, are you secretly Barry? :O
You have got something there, Jay. Knew I should have asked you too :)
pakcik, obviously I need help getting a hot boyfriend!! Good God. Propecia. Are you balding?
Ca va. Short and funky at work would have my patients staring. They already stared when i dyed my hair blond. DOn't ask.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Daniel.
A hug for you too, w :)
Most number of comments in a day. Ian. Have you seen jay's site? He's inundated with comments. :) Good God, you spend that much on haircuts in Tokyo! Over here, youd get the haircut and the sexy hairdresser following you home for a naked massage.
Musang, wish I could nail some patients for the main course :) And Barry for dessert, sigh!
But Charles, who would clip my hair! I can't do it. I'll mess it up.
Chas, that sounds as bad as Tokyo.
Paul
