Haircuts

Hairstyles: Pastina and I both have a history of failure in this department.

I have rocked the mullet, the DIY perm, and the almost-but-not-quite-shaved super-short cut. <-- (that one made my mother weep.) It is not uncommon for Pastina, too, to show up at the end of a stressful day with a wicked comb-over / cowlick combo. This just happens. But, throughout our follicular travails, neither 'tina nor I come close to the stylistic horror that is.... the Blago. And now, Rod "The Gift That Keeps On Giving" Blagojevich, has blessed us with...... Blago's It's Bleep'n Golden volumizing shampoo and conditioner.

Reporter Lolly Bowean, of the Chicago Tribune, quips: "Say what you will about disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, but you can't say he has thin hair."

Truth.
