Attraction - Alex

Whilst MSN are telling me how to instantly be more attractive I also had my own little style guru moment today. The lucky little guinea pig was none other than my co-blogger Patrick. His current hair style is a borderline neat way of having medium length hair. In fact, here's a picture...

Normally it's a little neater than that, just when the photo was taken he was a few hours into a party and therefore inebriated to a point where he did not care about the position of each of his hairs. What I did to our little chap was violently scruff up his hair. Firstly I did it to annoy him, but then I realised it made him look a little bit like a rock star. A little bit like THIS guy. Me and Pat then made a pact that if he received one compliment on his hair in the following 15 minutes he would keep it like that. And in due time he received a compliment, he was told that he looked "adorable". Maybe not quite the sort of compliment an edgy rock star would want but a compliment none the less. I'm hoping this rock star hair style will see him through until he next goes to the hair dressers and gets his hair lopped into a quiff friendly design. Yeah you read that right, a quiff. Like THIS. Maybe even slightly like the front man of THIS band. Basically Patrick wants to look cool and with my help I see that as a vaguely achievable target.

I am, without doubt, the epitome of teenage male swagger. That's a massive lie. I like a bargain and as a result I have lots of t-shirts, polo shirts and such despite not having spent a large sum on my whole wardrobe. Also I wouldn't say I follow trends either, for instance people seem to be wearing lots of "berry" colour trousers round my parts (I'm on about boys as well), I wouldn't ever get caught dead in a pair of purple trousers. Unless it was for a dare. Nor would I go out in a pair of boat shoes or tie the drawstrings on my hoodie together. So I'm borderline trendy (if I don't say so myself) and Patrick is a rising star, no small part down to inspired hair styles. Gok Wan, watch your job, I'm coming for it.
