Haircuts

You know what's the rage this year? ...Hats.
~Bill Watterson


Since so many people are thinking about giving each other haircuts, that's our topic for this Art Thursday! (Not sure what is happening to the guy in the back of the last picture. ?)

  1. Excellent topic. :-)

    I think that the guy in the back of the last picture is getting a shampoo?

    Cute cartoon/limerick about the lion getting a summer "trim."

    My Dad was a barber for over fifty years and he would have really liked these.

  2. So fun, Tabatha. I love that lion cartoon, too! I saw someone post a link for "how to cut your hair". I did not click on it! Wishing I had a way to contact my own hair dresser. I would love to have her come to give me a cut, expect it would be safe. But I do not & the salon is closed.

  3. You're so right about the shampoo in the last picture! My eccentric imagination went to "laser," which just left me deeply confused.
