New York City is well known for being a melting pot; you can stroll down one city block and identify at least 10 separate candidates to star in "It's a Small World". While walking through the Times Square subway station (don't ask) I came across a special little barber shop where one can get their hair did while waiting for a train. I almost passed right by without a second thought until something peculiar caught my eye. A poster hanging squarely in the front window boasts 30 popular hairstyle choices for men and boys. Not just any old hairstyles, oh no, but "International". I may not be the most worldly person but something tells me this does not qualify for international status. Either the barber knows only one medium or they are promoting segregation; either way, I'd recommend taking that down.
For the many things seen throughout the day which make you wonder out loud how people can be so very strange, this blog is an outlet to voice your concerns for our generally insane society.

No, you cannot only provide terrible options
I'm not above Hair Cuttery. The stylists are licensed professionals who had to practice on the same types of locks as a high-end salon owner in order to get near my head. Some places, though, cannot rest on these laurels as it is questionable where said licenses were earned or who is providing the overall creative direction. Take for instance a barber shop I passed recently which boasted a few of their top sellers on a sign out on the sidewalk. Let's take a minute to analyze each option, shall we? The two on the top, though awful, are at least dismissible as a momentary lapse in judgment. The bottom two are just beyond; the captions should read "If you want to look like a rapist, early 90's C-list white rapper, or generally like to spend time alone, PICK ME!" There is no way any sane person would look in the mirror after their mane was completely massacred into this shape and convince themselves that things are looking up. At least I know which stylists to blame when I see a mess of this caliber roaming the city- here's looking at you Barber Shop on MacDougal and West 8th Street.
