i’ll have the hugh grant, please
Are there any other straight guys out there who carry around photos of Hugh Grant in their pockets?
Every time I visit my neighborhood barber — US$0.63 per haircut — I never say a word. I just hand him two photos of Mr. Grant from About a Boy, point to them and then point to my head. This strategy has worked well so far.
After three haircuts, I imagine I could give old Hugh the boot. I’m sure the barber recognizes me — not many other 6-foot-3 white guys on the block — and I highly doubt he forgets my odd ordering technique.
But I will continue to use Hugh for his hair, if only for the amusement of my barber.
“Here comes ‘Hugh Grant’ again,” I’m sure he says to his coworkers when he sees me walking down the street. “And he hasn’t even found stills from Two Weeks Notice yet, either. Still stuck on damn About a Boy.”

reading your stuff cracks me up. some days i’m crying and tearing my hair out here. you make make me want to be a 6ft 3 white guy in shanghai - black eye, bad hair cut and all. :)
would you still follow Huge Grant’s hair, if he changes his hair to Beckham style. That could be a big challenge for your barber.:)
