Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥
i’m in love ! ! !

Log in to replyHahahaha this is awesome!!
Boy George’s hairstyle is totally amazing; I’ve been wanting to copy it ever since I saw the “Karma Chameleon” video but I haven’t quite got around to it. Sadly my hair isn’t long enough to tie in primary-colored scraps of fabric without looking like a preschool student.

“Who are you supposed to be, Cyndi Lauper?”
“It’s not like I’m some modern punk, asshole. This is obviously a 1977 ORIGINAL punk look, but I guess Johnny Fuckface over there is too stupid to realize it!”
“….I didn’t really get it either.”
“EVERYONE’S too stupid!!”

Log in to replyThis kinda makes me think of that Simpsons Halloween episode where Snake’s hair posesses people and-
Yeah.
Goodness knows what fate should fall upon you should Morrissey’s quiff take your soul.
Log in to replyA broken heart and the wit of Oscar Wilde <3. I love you Morrissey!!!
Log in to replySort of makes me wish I was alive then to witness these hairstyles, my mum cut her hair like madonna in the 80s and has photographic evidence, I just wish I had the courage to take scissors to my own barnet, this is so inspiring!
Log in to replyIf Jack Sparrow ever taught an art class, I would be torn between excitement about Johnny Depp or Boy George’s hair.
I think Boy George’s hair might be more exciting for me.
Log in to replyLoved the post on Moz and the website background. Hairdresser on Fire!
How about Ian McCulloch from the Bunneymen? His styling product of choice was probably Ocean Rain.
