Someone needs to take a stand against this horrific, yet ever-present style failure referred to as a "shag" haircut. I finally had a chance to bask in the relief that the Jersey Blowout has gone extinct (but for a small population of tool-bags on Staten Island) and now a whole new breed of ridiculousness is being born.
Who's idea was this? I don't want to blame it on John, Paul, George and Ringo--they pulled it off in their day. And even a genuine surfer-dude can pull it off--perhaps it's that natural sun kissed blonde that makes it acceptable.
But the new crop of adolescent boys and young celebrities, like the dorks from NYC Prep on Bravo, make me twitch when I watch them doing that awkward head-whip/sweep-away/tic-like movement. (And yes, I watched the premiere of that show, yes I am ashamed, and no it won't happen again.) Cut the bangs above your nostrils and maybe you wouldn't have to lope around like a lost sheep dog.
I don't claim to be any sort of authority on style, and maybe it makes me the one who just doesn't get it, but whatever happened to a neatly trimmed, close haircut, or at least a tidy ponytail???
