Because it’s Movember, and I wouldn’t be the first Brown Bagger to show off some dodgy hair-dos, I thought i might share a tip: Don’t try to develop designer fuzz whilst trying to hit impossible deadlines at work!
….I figure if you’re gonna blog you may as well go all-out with the personal shame!
Firstly the back story…It was November 2008, the summer had passed as I neared the end of a hellish 5 months on the sound production of Olivia. I was desperately trying to wrap things up before Noddy post production started - I finished Olivia on a Monday and started Noddy on the Tuesday so it was a close shave (sorry!). My daily priorities were food, Olivia, Olivia, Olivia and sleep. Despite my best intentions of going with Movember, general shaving was just not on the agenda, never mind getting all arty about it. So after about 5 weeks of solid work, I was a bit, well, grizzly…..
Really, could ye not have said anything guys??!
Just for the craic (it was the last day of November/Movember after all), I did a gradual shave – partly cause it hurt like hell, partly for comic effect and the look of horror on my girlfriend’s face.…
What can i say, I’ll never get a L’Oreal ad after this…
