Can anyone give me some advice? I've made a hair appointment for 4.30 this afternoon and am considering blond highlights. Are they a good idea or a no-no? |

Gaylord the monkey Get a skin head or mullet |

This guy in Oxford shaved my entire body once... then we went & fell asleep naked sunbathing on this bit of wasteground... If you've never had sunburnt itchy bollocks then you haven't lived.... (Quite what this has to do with Highlights, I dunno...just feeling a little confessional this morning I guess...)... |

Confessions are welcomed. Honesty is the best policy. And other cliches... I already have a mullet but am a bit bored with it. I was spiking it on the top a la Gary Rhodes but it was too much effort of a morning. The mullet gets a lot of stick, alittle unfairlty if you ask me. That guy from North Wales who was punched by John Prescott gave it some more profile, but alas its still stigmatised. |

Go for a skin head...its the one haircut that suits more or less everyone... I had long hippy hair, Aphex stylee, for about 5yrs but had it all shaved off when some guy bet me a tenner to do it...this is like 3yrs ago and I still have people asking me where all my hair has gone... (I'm very worried about your reference to Gary Rhodes....def time to get the clippers out...)... |

I would have a skinhead but I have big ears and so would look like a wingnut. The far-right connections also put me off. |

what colour is your hair now ? |
||||||||
|
|

Ginger |

hmmm...... look at Ginger spice and see what you think, she had some blond in the front of her hair |
||||||||

You could bluetac your ears back....perhaps... but yeah, agreed on the political connatations...as long as you steer clear of DM boots, white T shirts & braces you should be ok...but it was something I was a little worried about, needlessly in the end.... It does make me look a bit Hard tho....which is kinda good as I seldom seem to get into any trouble... |

As a child I was bullied mercilessly for my generously proportioned ears. I tried using blue-tak many times but the sweat reduces the stickiness and they go 'pop' forward again. I even tried sellotape, stick-fixers, superglue (bad, very bad) but to no avail. I guess I just have to live with them. You have probably avoided trouble by living in Chelmsford, well away from the squaddies in Colchester. I resided there until recently and avoided the beatings. I think my mullet put them off. Just heard Natalie Imbruglia's new single on the radio. She's lost it. |

Colchester is cool... last time I was there we got chucked out of a Wine Bar for taking the piss out of Karoke and making someone cry...and the next place we went to, some bloke was giving me hassle for "leaning on his wife" (I didn't even realise she was there!!...I'd been "leaning" there for about an hour so why she didn't say someting sooner I don't know...)... Chelmsford, I can't get used to yet...I'm a Braintree lad really and miss my home town.... (I know a Ginger lad in Colc BTW, but I'm guessing it's not you, Steve is it??)... |

Oh no my friend. Colchester is VERY bad. I lived there for three years and was glad to leave. I never made it to Chelmsford though. People in Colchester are very small-minded. Its weird how people in different areas have different characteristics. I'm from south Wales whre you can still leave your front door open, and tape money to it. Braintree eh? Isn't that Liam Howlett's home town? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep....that and The Barn are all we're really famous for...(and not that many people have heard of the Barn)... It weird seeing the Prodge on MTV...the second time I saw them live, it was at the Braintree Institute, which is like a Church Hall where they have jumble sales and the like...it's odd when people you know go on to global superstadom whilst you continue with your ordinary life...hohum... BTW, speaking of hair, Liam used to have a wetlook Kevin Keegan Perm when he was school... |

What's the Barn? We have some of those on farms in Wales |
||||||||
|
|

|

Then again the less said about farms in Wales the better |

The Barn used to be a club just outside Braintree....was apparently famous during the 60s as the hangout for all the Essex gangsters & The Krays... But back in 88,89,90,91 etc.. it was home of the Essex rave scene... Prodge met up there as did Sunscreme & Empirion (who came from Colchester, every hear that "Drugs Are Taking Their Lives away" song??)... Tom J Squarepusher was also a regular & did a song that mentioned the place - The Barn (303 Kebab mix)... But it's been knocked down now and turned into a housing estate...:(... |

Ah right. Heard of Empirion but not the other. Have you seen the cover to Luke Slater's album Freek Funk? The photos are from Essex University in Colchester. I had the album for the 3 years I was there but never recognised it until a friend pointed it out just before we left last summer. Apparently Billy Nasty made a video there too. Cass from Cass & Slide the prog house duo went there too apparently. |

anybody remember that old kids magazine highlights? that magazine rocked |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Haven't seem the Luke Slater cover but I can well believe it....that place looks like something out of Bladerunner... Was apparently a hotbed of dissent back in the late 60s early 70s...they turned it into a "Free" university and anyone could just turn up and go to lessons... (I saw the Prodge live there back in 92,in the underground carpark.club thing) ... can remember wandering aroung the grounds, off me tree...fucking with the Lifts)... And speaking of Empirion...I was visiting a new Multimedia lab they've setup in Braintree a couple of week back and they've got the Empirions SH101 as part of their studio...It's a small ol world INIT>... |

Not heard of the magazine Highlights Zombiekev. American I guess. Not as good as our 'Lookin' I'm sure. Yeah Essex was taken over by the students. I know a guy who was there at the time. Those days are well and truly gone now though. Apathy rules During the Miners Strike of 1984 the students put up some miners in the tower blocks. They were picketing the small port in Wivenhoe. Thatcher called the chancellor of the university and told him that she would have it shut down if the miners weren't removed. Facist cow! |

You decided what to do with your hair yet?...times getting on... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've cancelled. I can't touch my precious ginger mullet. Its just going to have to grow and stay ginger |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good for you...it would be nice to let it grow to Thundercats proportions...Theres something very comforting about big wide hair; must be something to do with growing up in the 80s.... |

Wasn't Cheetarah gorgeous? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never got any further than admiring their hair from afar so don't really know who Cheetarah is....but you seem a trustworthy sort so I'll take your word on your gorgeous front... Didn't they have something to do with He-Man?...my memory is like 16K so it's all a bit fuzzy.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, no, no, no. They were totally seperate. I know what you mean though. There were always spin-off shows back in the 80s. He-Man did have a gorgeous sister though called She-Ra. Ooo-la-la |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I always was a little suspect of He-Man...I mean, with a name like that it's just so obvious he subscibes to Jocks Lockerroom magazine and hangs around in gyms a little too much.... And don't get me started on that outfit...I'm surpised it was shown pre-9pm... |
