WIP-hairport, I shouldn’t mention it here and on the net - though never had the honour to get my hair cut by you folks I dreamt of WIP last night.

Jezz did cut my hair. The place was a dark, victorian building, brick walls and cast iron doors. Lots of stairs - something like Jenners in Edinburgh, just darker.
The guy in the chair next to me was trying to steal a straight razor the whole time and Ivy, the hairartist working on him had to make him put it back into her bag - an old fashioned leather bag, like the doctor bags from back in the time. He was on my left and I just had some dark red dye applied to my hair. The bag was between the two chairs and contained scissors, brushes and combs, rollers - and this straight razor. Whatever Ivy needed, she would get out.

I just wish I knew what haircut I got. I remember it was longer than it is now, but we weren’t done yet. So no idea what Jezz created
The guy ran away with the straight razor. It was a lovely old fashioned piece…and we were all chasing him to get it back for the lovely Ivy. I still had the dye in my hair and was wearing a black cape…
Unfortunately we didn’t get him. Shady person…if I meet him again I make sure she gets the razor back.
I like my dreams, they are always so strange and don’t make sense Now I only have to meet Ivy and Jezz.

A few sentences about me?
I’m a legal alien, a German living in the Netherlands. 38 years on paper, mental age we don’t talk about.
Very happily married to the best frog ever, two cats. Princesses marry princes, I never wanted to be a princess, so I got me a cute and cuddly frog.
I read a lot, speak four different languages and constantly listen to music, often singing along.
I twist rope around sticks into different shapes, also called knitting and crochet.

Another constant thing is changing my hair. From hair down to my elbow to shaved with patterns I coloured myself through the rainbow.
Hair is a canvas for me, that’s also why I love your creative creations at Hairport so much. It grows back and I adore people who dare and think outside the box.
Oh - and spirals make me happy. No matter where, I love me some spirals.

don’t miss this show that will open tonight in the Gallery ZDB in Lisbon! The portuguese artist Patricia Almeida shows for the first time large scale video and photo installations, that are the results of two years research on holiday resorts and touristic culture in the algarve.

back in 2005 we asked a few friends and customers to help us with an idea: all of them would get the same haircut but with different colors and would distribute our postcards when people asked them about their haircut.
it was hilarious to walk through the center of lisbon with all of them, watching the people turning their heads. we actually have some video footage we will upload soon…
