Hats off to Lady Gaga who unknowingly gave mad props to orange 'man tans' and douchebag hair with her freakish getup at the VMA's. I was instantly transported to an article by Mike Albo of Details Magazine in which he asked millions of American men the $100,000 question, "Do you have douchebag hair?" In his column he wrote:
"Browse online gossip sites, check out the celebrity weeklies, flip through TV channels—maybe even look in the mirror—and the array of faux-hawks, carefully rendered spikes, grossly asymmetrical parts, tinted tips, and meticulously messed-up bed-heads makes it clear that we are living in the era of douchebag hair. Perhaps the saddest part is that for these guys, their coif is their crowning stylistic achievement. These hairstyles—which are likely to have been teased, dyed, sculpted, flat-ironed, and gelled—are the results of the kind of time and effort that’s usually devoted to space-exploration programs."So, thanks again Gaga! Maybe you freaked out the masses, but I am eternally grateful for having been reminded of how ridiculously out of control the douchebag hair trend has gotten! (Who knows if the VH1's Tool Academy would be half as funny without them!?)
