Posts with tag mohawk

How many times have you said, "Sure, I want to protect myself from brain damage and disfigurement, but helmets are so dorky!" Every time, right?

Well those days are over, thanks to the inventive and colorful Helmet Mohawk.

It's an age-old question: where do I find a collared shirt that expresses my inner-punk? Chances are that if you work in an environment that involves a dress code, you are constantly pissed off at having to buy shirts that you hate, just to avoid annoying speeches from your boss. Well look no further, Attus Apparel has put together a line-up of polos that are quietly subversive -- perfect for sticking it to the man.

I prefer the middle finger version myself, but in case you don't want to get fired, they have other less offensive designs. You can choose from: a head with a mohawk, a 40oz., a toilet, a guitar shredder, and a snowboarder.

All the shirts are 100% cotton and are "slim fit," so take that into consideration and don't buy one that's too small. They're on sale right now for $27 marked down from $54 -- not bad for a quality polo that's this unique.

A long time ago, in a style galaxy far, far away, a haircut known as the mohawk ruled the universe. Usually combat boots, safety pins, and Dead Kennedys t-shirts were its accessories de rigeur.

These days, the modern version of the mohawk -- the so-called fauxhawk -- has been making the rounds since 2003.

Sported by such luminaries as Radiohead's Thom Yorke and footballer/tabloid mainstay David Beckham, the fauxhawk is a softer, gentler mohawk. Whereas the mohawk necessitated that the sides of the head be shorn clean, the fauxhawk allows for hair -- short hair -- to grace the sides of the head.

With three years already under its belt, the fauxhawk seems to have some serious staying power. Will it thrive where the mohawk failed? Or does it have a few more hot minutes before it goes the way of the Caesar cut?
