MYSTERY GUEST

JUST RECEIVED THIS POSTER FROM A DEAR FRIEND.

IT IS MARKED

HAIRSTYLE OF THE MONTH   CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS? SHE WAS (OBVIOUSLY) 

DOING SOME MODELING ON THE SIDE?

(and yes, it is now hanging above Norma's head at the salon.)

And the Winner Is

It's very kind of Cookie to ask me to pick the winner for the fabulous HHoF Wig Namer contest.  My therapist has said tasks like this that I can focus on when THE VOICES get to be too clamorous can be very helpful.

It's certainly worked out, since all THE VOICES had opinions, mostly about Norma's secret lady place and where that musty smell is coming from, but also about the entries.  Here's what we agree on:

The Best Collection:

Julie Merrill

The Best Single Name:

Muscato's "Vero Beach Bombshell" - the wig that goes everywhere you, your Pall Malls, and your double-knit culottes do.

I also liked Bill's "The Forgotten Faithtone."

The Best Tagline:

Boff's "These creations, the triumph of technology over conscience, are crafted from 100% Merkinelle©. Ask for it by name."

although Mrs. Leapheart's "All in Plastronic, permanently heat set for that Crunchy Feel" was an entry hard to beat.

The Most Disturbing:

as noted by other coemmentors, Norma.    Of course.

And the winner is

JASON

Because he was first.  Because he set the pace.  Because "Cotton Tail."  Because he knows his way around a wig.  Because THE VOICES said so.

Everyday's A Holiday!

If you are feeling the post holiday blues, let this vision of loveliness perk you up!

That's right, it's the ever-fashionable kabuki zero, getting up, at my apartment on 18th and Belmont, NW, Adams Morgan, Washington D.C. 
The time and occasion was Halloween, 1985.  And you'll kindly notice the exquisite, perm machine/mail holder/picture holder in the foreground. 

Rest assured a good time was had by many....

An announcement about staffing and the contest

Since Margaret took a powder and disappeared - last seen drinking Kreml and vowing to shave "that Bitch Diana Ross' head" -  the HHoF has been short staffed.

So we have added Mr. Peenee, seen above, to our staff as Receptionist, Telephone Operator and Cashier.  Mr. Peenee's job will fall under the watchful eye of Norma Desmond, who heads our Charm and Cheer Squad.  As a full time associate of the HHoF, Mr. Peenee will receive training, a glass bowl for his supply of mints and access to the staff lounge, including all of the access and benefits that comes with the staff lounge.

Mr. Peenee's FIRST Duty has been to review contest submissions and decide who has won our Wig Namer contest.  That way, Cookie doesn't have to play favorites.

Look for his posting on the winners in the next couple days.

SENIOR BLUES

IF SHE HAD BANGS, THE SUN WOULDN'T BOTHER HER.

HHoF Contest, fabulous prizes, so read the instructions, Bitches

The HHoF is holding a contest to see who receives the honor of being the official name giver of wig styles at the HHoF.

Entrants will look at the image below and then name each of the wig styles, A through E, and then submit their entries via the comments sections.

You may not name just one wig, you must name ALL wigs.

Current stylists may enter, HOWEVER, thou shalt not judge each other or talk about Norma's secret lady place.

EXTRA POINTS given to anyone who chooses to also name the miracle fibre that said wig is made of.

Winners will be announced in one week.  

And what does our winner get?  Their picture and link to their blog in our right hand column and the official title of "Wig Namer to The Hair Hall of Fame". 

So get your brains in gear and play by the rules and everyone will have a good time, DAMNIT!

Warmest personal regards,

Cookie

Marriage equality for all, y'all!

We've had a few complaints....

Ladies, ladies...I know it's hard, but please try to restrain yourselves from this sort of fun.

Unless you just can't help it.

Our new motto

Just don't.

Pick your do

And we'll duplicate it flawlessly.

June's Bustin' Out All Over!

But her hair is FLAWLESS!

Traditional, straight across, continental or devilishly curly?

We'd like to know...

Did the same people who put hair on his chest also glue on his toupee?

Two Tone-a Rona.

Miss Rona Barrett

When one hair color simply isn't enough.

A Head Of Broccoli

I've finally discovered how to integrate my passion for outrageous hair design with my love of gardening. 

Regrettably, you can smell her hairdo from the other room.

Who's Your Daddy?

Happy Father's Day from The Hair Hall of Fame.

Audry Hepburn was larger than life

But her hair could be even bigger. Oh, yeah, that's Rex Harrison.

Um...it's time to clean the drain again...

Who has bathroom duty this week?

Attention stylists

Please keep your clients seated correctly in their chairs, and suitably covered under their styling cloaks.  Our insurance doesn't cover this sort of thing.

While you're waiting, please visit the HHOF's new Snack Shack...

And have a delicious wiener

The Cheese Stands Alone

Be careful out there.

This Will Blow You Away

Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Ketty Lester

She could sing, dance and act.  Born Revoyda Frierson  in 1934, Ketty Lester was an entertainment triple threat, and had she been white, she might have gotten bigger and better roles.  Even though she never got top billing, she worked throughout the 50's, 60's , 70's, 80s in film and on TV.  Her body of work is impressive, and she even took her role in Blacula seriously.  From soap opera's to Little House on the Prairie, Lester's face and exquisite diction were easily recognized, though her name was often buried in the credits.

And because had flawless hair, Ketty Lester, we salute you on the HHoF

Why Not a Wash and Set...

...the next time you find yourself in beautiful downtown Pyongyang?  We just know you'll love your DPRK-do, courtesy of the Greatest Hairdresser in the History of the World, the Great Clipper himself, Kim Il Sung. There's a reason they call him the Permanent President!

(This is, if nothing else, the most solemn film ever made about barettes).

Words cannot describe...

...what this is.

Notice: Employees Must Wash Hands* Before Returning to Work!

*And Panties.
