I stumbled along this great toy ad in the Sunday paper this week. It’s for a complete beauty salon for a child.
You can buy your child everything from a tool belt ,to a hair colorist kit, to accessorize your salon space. This set was in the “girl” section of the toys. As a parent and a male hair stylist, I find gender preferences interesting. If you look at the photo below, you can see a few interesting details.
1. The salon is bright pink.
2. No boys work here
3. One stylist is busy with her client, while the colorist just stands there with no one to work on.
Give this girl a client!! Otherwise she is going to start looking too desperate for business and freak everyone out. MAYBE they are doing a corrective color, and the girl sitting down is getting a blowout before colorist in the photo gives her the second color application. I’m going to have to give some serious thought if I want my son Milo working in this crazy pink beauty shop.
I also read this week that tennis star Andre Agassi used to wear a wig in the 80′s before Brooke Shields convinced him to shave his head. Perhaps Brooke Shields should go on the show “Rock of Love” and convince Brett Michaels to do the same. My hair is starting to thin as well.
“Dear Booke Shields,
What would you suggest I do with the top of my head?
Love,
Jeff D”
