Mullet + Back Hair = New Ultra-Gross Post!

It's such a nice day, this gentleman should take his sweater off.

Talk about a silverback—that's the hairiest back 

I've ever seen in my life!

"Hey Joe, can I get an autograph? Hey, where are you going?"

This guy must be a big fan of Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer. Why else would he have shaved the player's name and number into his back hair? (From here.)

Unibrows? Okay! Back Hair? Never!

"A stands for Abhorrent! Whoo!"

Back hair IS gross. I was reminded of this by a football fan who shaved an "A" into his back hair (!).

See, he’s an Appalachian State fan, and…oh, never mind. Gross! (More on back hair here.)

But is body hair —or even face hair— gross? To help answer this question, David Moye writes about women who have declared this month Decembrow. The idea is for women to STOP plucking their eyebrows. 

I can see the beauty in Decembrow . . . who wants to be yanking hairs out of their face all the time? And I appreciate strong eyebrows— or just one strong unibrow, like artist Frida Kahlo is sporting above.

But as for guys, some of us need to pluck. I mean, come on, Ramón Rivas!

Need Back Hair? Get Yak Hair!

I remember watching the very first episode of Malcolm in the Middle. It started in the kitchen, where the shirtless dad (Hal) was getting his back hair trimmed by his wife as the kids were eating breakfast.

It was so horrible, you had to laugh!

So I was interested in this interview where the actor who played the dad, Bryan Cranston, talks about the scene. Apparently, to give him enough back hair, they glued YAK hair to his body! Yak hair looks sort of like human hair, it’s just longer. (If you want to hear his funny description of it, go to NPR here and listen at 9:30.)

Hey, you know what would be REALLY gross? Seeing someone with a hairy back who was sagging. Yuck!
