Where is the fucking party?! We didn’t find the party and now we’re dead! — Mikey

Getting Rid of the Leprechaun 6th January, 09

“Ewww Toby, you look like a Leprechaun!”
Those were Lorenas words after our last attempt to dye my hair back to its “natural” color, which is somewhere between ash brown and dark blonde. I went through different stages in terms of hair color. It’s fashionable nowadays that men realize they want to try some different hair color and infiltrate this completely female dominated market of bleachers, anti-gray products and conditioners. My journey went something like that:

  1. Ash brown in Austria
  2. Dark blond through the strong sun of Los Angeles
  3. Brighter, brighter, brighter - the UV rays must suck out the melanin
  4. Blondie in Montreal
  5. Comeback to LA, and here the first mistake: How about jet black
  6. Emo phase
  7. A little lighter please: Dark brown/reddish
  8. Brownhead in Montreal
  9. Ugh, how red! A little more brown please.
  10. Red-brown
  11. Let’s get it back to the natural color, it looks like a redhead
  12. Totally Leprecauned
  13. California Leprechaun Massacre

This Leprechaun massacre was based on the plan of buying a haircut machine, cutting the red hair off and returning it “because it didn’t work for us”. Some when in midway of the shave Lorena and me realized that the red hair color, by scientists announced as “dead in 50 years”, is way more aggressive than anything else.

So, the oly applicable solution, was a 3mm-cut. Surely, Lorena forgot the top of the sideburns (where my hair is weirdly dangling down now), but all the rest of the Leprecaun could be successfully sent to hell. People who saw me last summer - same 3mm thing - will welcome the Skinhead nostalgia. For everybody else, I will kindly wear a black-braided wig with an exciting red hairband.
