While San Geraldo and I were in Seattle, we shopped (well, Judy and I shopped) at a store called Display & Costume. In addition to costumes and Halloween (seasonal) and party supplies, the store carries novelty items and other things not found in many places.
Last year, Judy bought a vinyl zipper purse adorned with retro art and the words, "Random Crap." She was looking for a new one or something similar. I spied the "beauty" department and opted for a make-over.

| HAVING ALREADY SHOPPED FOR A NEW IPOD NANO THAT DAY, SAN GERALDO WAS SHOPPED OUT. |
Obviously, San Geraldo was no help and Judy thought I wasn't being quite daring enough. So, here are my three new looks. Let me know which
you think suits me best.
Mitchell your new image is fantastic
ReplyDeleteGosia:
DeleteI agree. I think I'm really onto something here (but I don't think it's ready for the public yet)!
In the last photo you are the spit of Limahl...Of Kajagoogoo fame
ReplyDeleteClarification a pop band that where extremely famous for a couple of years in England in the early 80s

Ty:
DeleteI remember this song but didn't remember the name of the group or singer. When I watched the video I crapped up. I'm of course so much better looking but we both do rock the hair. Limahl, however, continues to rock his OWN hair.
I love #3. Very hip and versatile. Think of the braids with ribbons and beads!!! Gerald would rock #2!
ReplyDeleteDid you buy?
Elaine:
Delete#3 is my favorite as well. As for Jerry, he could rock the look of #2 with his OWN hair! Some folks have all the luck!
A big YES to number 3 it was almost a tie between that and number 1
ReplyDeleteHeron:
DeleteMy preference is also #3 (with #1 in second place ... the ribbon is just not me).
The first one is just DARLING!
ReplyDeleteMs Sparrow:
DeleteI was torn between 3 and 1 but preferred 3 because I thought the ribbon in 1 was just too Junior League for my tastes. Next thing you know I'd be opting for read sweater sets and plaid skirts!
Going with #3, but #1 would be OK. No, no, no to #2. But Elaine's suggestion that #2 would do for SG is spot on. What fun!
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteI'm almost sorry I didn't buy #3 (but then again I'm sure I could find it here in town). If you saw the head of hair Jerry has, he could do look #2 without any help from a wig.
Defintely #3!
ReplyDeleteCarole:
DeleteWe are in agreement!
#1 is YOU!
ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteI DID like that one, but I've never been big on those black Junior League ribbons!
Definitely the last one - rockstar look and all :)
ReplyDeleteCheapchick:
DeleteI loved that last one. Guess what, I'm a rock star. I got my rock moves... (Pink!)
Yes, I like the first one, too-- can't beat the bow :)
ReplyDeleteAnd... Sheryyyyyl :) Love me some Sheryl Crow.
Judy:
DeleteI figured you'd like Sheryl Crow. I think she's amazing. As for your choice of #1 for the bow, that's the only reason I DE-selected it. That bow is just not my style.
LOL! LOVE #3!! Very whimsical and carefree, I'd say!!
ReplyDeleteJim:
DeleteOh, to have a head of hair to do that with! Except I'd probably still shave my head!
This is a trick question isn't it!
ReplyDeleteSEXYEYES#3 !!!
Ron:
DeleteI thought it was easy, but not everyone agreed with OUR choice!
Such frightful wigs!
ReplyDeleteSpo:
DeleteFrightful?!? One of these is my new look! You'll adjust I'm sure!
Well I love them all but look 2 is a huge winner, for me at least. Number 3 reminds me of an Australian footballer who was once very famous by the name of Warwick Capper. He was known for two things - his haircut, and his super tight football shorts. ;)
ReplyDeleteSnoskred:
DeleteLook #2 reminds my of some time in my past, but maybe it was a past life! Oh, Warwick Capper! I just looked him up. After that, I'm not so partial to my Look #3 anymore!
I love #1. Very you! ❤️
ReplyDeleteSiri:
DeleteThat ribbon is just much too Junior League for me. But I did like all the hair (and that fringe).
I'll be alone (so far) in going for the middle one, even if it does vaguely remind me of John Kerry - not that there's anything wrong with looking like J.K., I hasten to add.
ReplyDeleteRaybeard:
DeleteLeave it to you to go in a different direction. Speaking of which, maybe I'll just leave that wig to you!
It's between 1 and 3. The shoulder length hair suits you. Eeerily, you look like a friend of mine in #2. Except for the beard. She's clean-shaven.
ReplyDeleteWalt the Fourth:
DeleteI couldn't believe what a good time I had doing that. My favorite was #3 but #1 was second. As for #2, it reminded me of too many people in my past (with and without beards).
#1 sans bow, or #3. I hope you brought one of them home.
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteWe are in agreement. I didn't bring one home, but I know a shop here that has the same looks in MY colors.
I was struck by the second, but the third is the one. How fortunate you are to be able to make anything look good!
ReplyDeleteMichael:
DeleteOh, you should have seen me in Pippi Longstocking's red braids! NOT a good look for me. I know! So surprising!
I'm liking the last one. Do you think you can get the band back together???
ReplyDeleteBob:
DeleteI didn't even know which specific band that would be, but Tynan directed me to Limahl of Kajagoogoo. I'll see what I can do (and also will see if Limahl would mind being replaced).
That third photo makes you look hip and edgy, but approachable.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteThat's ME! I've always been described as "hip and edgy, but approachable."
I thought #2 looks a bit like Bill Clinton... but at least you didn't find a "do" that made you look like Trump!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSharon:
DeleteYou're so right about the look of Style #2. If I had found anything that looked like Drumpf, I wouldn't even have tried it on.
Definitely #3; kind of sexy, yes?
ReplyDeleteFrank:
DeleteI kind of like that rockstar look, but I don't think it would hold up to closer inspection ... or to more than a snapshot.
