髮蠟

有記者想寫髮蠟,由於她自己也不太懂,想我先向她介紹一下,於是我發了以下一封信,不知道最後她的報導會是怎樣。




你好!我盡量向你介紹髮蠟的背景和特性。

關於髮蠟,或者叫做頭蠟,英文稱作Pomade,是一種油性的髮型用品。除了能為頭髮造型外,使用後更為頭髮增添一層油潤的光澤,這種油性的特質,和把頭髮塗油的這個做法,稱為Grease,電影油脂就是以其取名;而弄這種油頭髮型的人,叫做Greaser。

它是一種傳統的髮型用品,19世紀已經出現,到了20世紀中最為盛行,塗髮蠟梳飛機頭(Pompadour)成為當時的潮流標準,最為人所認識的例子就是貓王Elvis Presley了。傳統的Pomade是屬油的,不易清洗,或需要使用特別配方的洗頭水。由我們Dirty Boogie首度引入的,美國加洲最著名的復古髮型屋Hawleywood's Barber Shop所出品的Layrite Pomade,是屬於新派的水溶性質,使用時一如傳統的油潤,清洗時有如啫哩一般過水即能洗去,變得更平易近人、方便使用。一般Pomade的標準分為兩個,一是造型的強固度,一是光澤度,強固度低的則光澤度較高,相反強固度高的則光澤度較低,不同牌子可能會出品二至三個等級的產品。Layrite黃色那一瓶Original屬於強固度和光澤度都是中性的一種,而啡色那一瓶Super Hold強固度相對較高一點,但光澤度也不算太差。兩者均散發出芳香的雲呢拿味道。

50年代過後,雖然飛機頭不再流行,但有很多人仍然過著舊時代的生活模式,亦有不少新一代嚮往美好光輝的50年代而形成了復古文化,直到現在,當中包含了音樂、時裝、汽車、紋身等等,而油頭髮型依然是這群人的標準。碰巧這年頭流行Hot Rod衣著,雜誌又吹捧柏豪柏宇頭,大把人都梳著all back兩邊鏟青趕潮流,兩者似乎很有關連,但其實我們最不屑就是潮流了!(當然,這股潮流為我們帶來了多一點的生意,我們也要說句多謝)

若說什麼電影能夠表現出這種髮型的話,我不想說賭神和賭聖,不如說Godfather吧,意大利其實也很盛行all back!

給你看看我的樂團大支嘢,我們玩的就是50年代風格的音樂,我們都愛復古文化,飛機頭對我們來說是家常便飯!









Layrite賣180元,Dirty Boogie Playhouse和Rat's Cave有售。除了Layrite,我們還有其他牌子的髮蠟!

ALYASHA OWERKA-MOORE 美國潮流人看香港


──你認為音樂與時裝可否分割?
A: 理論上,可以;但實質上,不可能!你喜歡什麼類型的音樂,你會自自然
然地跟著那一個方向走,例如你喜歡Rock,你會穿著一些窄窄的褲子和衣
服;你喜歡Hip-Hop,你又會穿著一些比較闊身的衣物,只要你喜歡那一類
型 、你會很留意那類型的東西,自自然然會跟隨那一方面的潮流去打扮自
己 ,那是你的個人風格。當然你可以穿睡衣聽Hip-Hop,但基本上都不會
是這樣的,哈哈!

──你認為香港是一個什麼的地方及有什麼改善的提議?
A: 我很喜歡香港,每位朋友都知道我有三個可以稱為家的地方:紐約、聖地牙
哥及香港,如果我有很多錢的話,我會帶同我的家人到香港定居。因為香港
很有效率和方便,隨時隨地亦可做一些我想做的事;還有我喜歡香港的女性,
我的前女朋友亦是香港人。我認為香港的流行音樂勢力很大,Hip-Hop的音樂
勢力亦愈來愈大,但香港搖滾的音樂勢力相對較弱。其實香港一直都有一些
優秀的樂隊出現,可能因為太少的媒體去報導他們,令到搖滾音樂在香港一
直未能普及,北京、上海等地的水準之高已經將香港遠遠拋離,我相信香港
有很多出色的樂手,所以我希望香港將來能夠多一點關於Rock的事情如:
酒吧、樂隊、專門店等出現。

老鼠打洞不慎賴屎如何不失霸氣之豪情革命供獻-解放台妹土匪分享會

OK! What's this subject all about?
It's considered bull shit or the title or the launch party of the new comic from local B-grade comicker 盲公夫人(TVO), 《解放台妹》(Set the Taiwanese Girls Free). Indeed it is really interesting!! TVO makes fun with politic and sex, cult stuffs!!

Here are some photos from the launch party of the book in Rat's Cave.
