Pixey commercial

Everyone probably has seen the commercial where a women with long blond hair comes in for just a trim when another guy comes in to take over for the regular stylist and announces that he is going to give her a pixey cut...
How many of you think that the commercial would of been perfect if they actually showed him cutting her hair off?

For the record, just this week I was talking to my shrink about my own unresolved power and control issues, and how they have led to my personal variety of hair fetishism. If we take the long view, humans have used hair and its forcible cutting to demonstrate power and control for thousands of years (and yes, I can provide the references).

For me, personally, I believe that my own fetishism results from a combination of those unresolved power issues, burgeoning sexual feelings some 30 years ago, and a cultural bias that said that a little boy growing up in the 60`s and 70`s should not have interest in (or much personal control over) his own or anyone else`s hair. It was the COMBINATION of those things that led me to my fetishism.

It is non-negotiable that any human adult, male or female, should retain control of their own bodies, and the hair that grows from it. I try with my own children to allow them the same freedom (which explains the odd color, not found in nature, of my 10 year old son’s hair), within the limitation that I am ultimately still responsible for their health and well being.

Personally, I understand and respect the views of those that say a woman’s long hair is her crowning glory, just as I understand and respect the view of those that say that it is just a different type of imposition to insist that they wear it that way. As long as I do not act inappropriately on my fetishes, I would ask that everybody respect my views as well, even if they do not understand them. And while I stand by everybody’s freedom over their own hair, if somebody wants to cut theirs in a way that I find titillating, whether for money (like the actress in the commercial) or for love (like the lovely Mrs. Happy) or for any other reason, I certainly will not object.

And for those who have read my blathering so far, I will once again issue my usual call for respect and tolerance here on these boards, since EVERYBODY here has some kind of weird relationship with hair, or we wouldn’t be here in the first place.

And so, I remain,

Mr. Happy

Man, some people just take things too seriously. Granted, it is hard to "see" the seriousnous or lack of it from a message. The commercial actually is talking about "voting" or making decisions for yourself rather than having someone else make them for you. I just thought it might be interesting to see how people think.......do I have some deep need for power - maybe, if I was the person actually in the commercial and I actually cut the hair (it is never cut in the commercial), you might be able to stretch it to some power-hungry dominance I need...If you think about the message it is trying to get across, actually seeing the cut on TV would make a very strong statement (oh, there I go again, I`m sure I will hear about that last statement). As one of the posts put it...you must act upon the power fetish to actually gain the power...never have, never will... OK folks, light hearted responses now : )

Yeah Dave,
Metal man tries to be a little too "cool" for his own good.
But quite frankly, I didn`t appreciate your analogy either, I thought it was crude.
Having your hair cut when you don`t want it cut is very bad, but you can`t compare it to something as awful as having someone`s face rearranged or distorted or ruined somehow. Hair is just hair but hurting someone`s face is a thousand times worse.

Also however much Metal man acts like a jerk, at least he has a sense of humour. You seem like a very arrogant, overserious, know it all,; very conceited like you have to instruct all of us supposedly less intelligent people about what is what.


Maybe Metal man should be a little more formal but maybe you should loosen up a little and not take yourself so seriously.

what you jivin bout metal man? You aint been cool in a decade, assuming you ever where.

Dude, you just dont have it man. You are so uncool and uptight man.

Techno man could get with her!!!! I`d love that

YO YO YO metalurgie,

Listen up bro & like listen good. Techno man don`t wanna make like no orgy & have to smack yo ***** up.

Techno guy is not a name it is a way of life. Deal with it Metal wuss & a new era is dawning and yo metal is rustin & I mean rustin good bro.

Any "metal chicks" are just fat trailer white trash STD spewing stretchin the spandix out 300lbs plus heavies holdin a baby on one hip with a a bottle of jack in one hand & a newport cig in the other. You can have and get with all those nasty metal types as I am sure you wish they wanted to get with the metal man himself.

I dig anything with Boy George or Thompson Twins & Euro is the best damn music eva. Once that music starts it just get the blood flowing. That mezmurizng beat just goes on and on and on and on,,,,,

Long live techno & face it Metal is dead. Keith Richards is just a big Iguanna that learned to walk on two legs.

Thats just the way it is bro

TG

Fat trailor trash women?
Sorry Techno, I don`t live in the country.
Maybe that`s what you can dig though; I hear tell that those hefty broads kinda go for you slick skinny euro/trash fellas.

Shall we take a poll... all who think Metal man and Techno Dude are one in the same say "Auh"!!!!!!!

Wo dude,

In Techno man`s little world metal has no place.

Technodude allmost choked on his Zima when Techno dude read that!

I was spinning round round like record playing round round round to quote Dead or alive.

Techno man says he is no dave decker dude. How uncool is it to be associated with him. Techno man has no metal running through techno`s ice cool veins

Rock is dead! TD

. Now, do you see why your vision of perfection is not only unappealing, but downright creepy?

Just because someone thinks that perfection would have been to cut off her hair doesn`t mean it makes someone creepy just like us who thinks that growing hair is perfect.
