Do the 'do

Lately, I've noticed a rise in girls sporting mohaws. There were the goth girls on NJTransit, who had worked so hard to sculpt the rainbow-streaked masterpiecea that they glared at anyone who looked their way because god, they didn't do this for YOUpleasepleasepleasenoticemeSTOP STARING AT ME, PIG.

On the 6 train the other night, there were two sitings, a blonde that looked like the 'hawk may have been an unfortunate side efffect from sleeping with her head in a Kitchenaid. It was hard to tell.

The final entry was the most impressive, for the coordination factor alone. A black woman with short hair, had bleached the top, dyed it yellow and green and spiked it. She was wearing all black, but her eye makeup, jewelry and flipflops all tied into her 'do and it looked pretty damn cool.

I don't know how long it takes or how much product is involved to do the 'hawk right, but I do know that the odds of me trying this one out are pretty low.

From real life experience i can tell you when you have waist length hair it takes an awful lot of mousse, gel, hairspray all applied while your head is hanging upside down. And then you have to remember to stay way from open flames. There must have been a better way I wasn't privy too.
Also, the best hawk i ever saw was this kid who used to hang out in "the pit" in harvard square, his shaved sides were dyed like a leopards spots and his hawk was fuschia. he fuckin rocked. i wanted him to be my bf.
