Anyway, a couple of minutes in I thought "Dude, I know that guy!!". And sure enough I do. Little ol' Jimmy LaPoint that used to come into the restaurant I worked at in my late teens. He worked next door as the shampoo guy for the swanky hairdresser.
He used me as a practice hair model a couple of times. I recall a situation involving a coat hanger in my hair. I think he may have actually cut and styled my hair once or twice during his apprenticeship too....but back then I had about a zillion people do my hair cuz that's what you do at 19 years old working in a trendy restaurant where the boss's best friend is the most popular hairdresser in town.
I heard Jimmy had done well for himself...moved to Europe or something. Well, he's back and here he is.....

I definitely remember him now after reading this and seeing this picture. If he's doing so well, why is he subjecting himself to this reality show? The prize must be really good huh?
Nah, I'm guessing it's a limelight thing...Jimmy's always been a really out there social person. Dunno what the prize is??
I love that show. :)
very cool
