Well as choices of style go at least having a zany hairdo is something that 5 years later you won't feel too embarrassed about. The tatoos running up your arms though....

I just cannot express how funny I find his wearing a plaid sports shirt with his Mohawk hairdo! Is... is it some kind of performance art? Because I, for one, am loving it!

He may not be very pretty now, but he was somebody's baby, once! o_O
PS - Simon, I love men with longer hair! But I do get a tad jealous if it's longer than mine (which is now down to the middle of my back).

I had hair down to my back until my 38th birthday. We were all drinking, and a woman friend said it was time for it to go, that I looked too much like Yanni. A few minutes later it was a normal length. The next morning she and my wife, who had been close friends for about 15 years, had a falling out and have never spoken since.

At least we can't see his underwear. As bad looks go, this one is much better than "sagging".

Looks more like 1887 or maybe even 1787 to me.

Ah, yes, but I admire anyone with the balls to be themself and march openly to the beat of their own drum. (This has nothing to do with the fact that I'm stuck in 1977, absolutely nothing.) Seriously, punk hairdo but square clothes. Either this guy is on his lunch hour from work (somewhere that has a dress code but is okay with that hair?) or he hears his own tune. Either way, gotta love it.

Yeah, but it's not *his* drum. Even when the street people in Blade Runner had mohawks it seemed out of fashion, and that movie's almost 25 years old. Fashion takes no prisoners....
The best thing you can say about tattoos is that they're probably improving the forensic identification of bodies...

Sigh. The Rose Cafe!!! Nostalgia, esp. since I was so often to be found there in the summer of 1984, during the Olympics, and now we've got more Olympics...

For the first time ever I am completely apathetic about the Olympics. I saw a report about how (some) children in China are being so cruelly trained for gymnastics. It was like seeing an old time circus trainer, minus the cattle prod. Then there's the doping, the venue, the out of control materialism... it is totally obscene and meaningless to me now.

Hey, I think I know that guy! Jeff, is that you? (OK, I know it's not the same guy, if it WAS Jeff, the mohawk would be spiked. My oldest once said he looked like a dragon.)

Heh, who am I to tell them that it's all been done before? In '80 we weren't the first either... though I'm sure it is SUCH a drag to have some middle aged guy comment on that...

If it's any consolation, all that doping and cruelty had been going on since the 1950s behind the Iron Curtain, we just didn't know about it till the Wall fell. Only the materialism is (relatively) new.

At least he's true to his school!
I could never have pulled that one off, though. Too much curl. I'd have to have it ironed or something.

Mohawks are quite in this summer...especially for the High School age down. I have only seen a couple on adults and none quite that length.

The term "coxcomb" fits this guy far more aptly than it did the 16th-Century pretty boys it was originally applied to.
