Hello I'm Rich Brown and this is my personal website and blog. I'm just your simple, average, down to earth, professional, out gay man and aspiring circuit boy, living in Phoenix, Arizona with a few things to say while trying to find my place among all the scary, conservative, religious nuts in this sick and twisted world.

Justin's New Hair
Let me preface this story for a second ...
Prior to Justin and I going out to San Francisco, Justin asked Bernard if he would mind cutting his hair. I think he was just looking for something new and didn't know what to do with it. This isn't something we usually ask Bernard, because when we're all together we just like to hang out, enjoy our time and not force work upon someone, but Bernard agreed. While it may seem somewhat stereotypical to be a hairstylist, my friend Bernard in San Francisco is definitely not stereotypical, and he's probably one of the most talented hair stylist's I've ever met. You would consider yourself lucky if he would even take you as a client. It's like the mafia, he picks you, you don't pick him. I think my favorite quote from Bernard is ... "oh no, I don't do weddings"
So anyway, last Friday night after we downed a few drinks in the Castro with my friends, Bernard asked Justin if he wanted to go back to the salon with him. Justin agreed. Bernard dropped the rest of us off at his place so we could hang out and rest while Justin and he headed over to Bernard's of San Francisco.
I think it was around 3AM when Justin and Bernard arrived back at Bernard's place and I was so tired I could barely look up. Justin walked in so proud and proclaimed 'Do you like it?' I could hardly muster enough energy to turn my head, but I did to appease him and tell him how fabulous he looked. Well shit the bed, I almost fell off the couch. I didn't know what to say, my little boy was now a stunning blond bombshell.
Apparently Bernard decided that Justin needed to go for a little color as well as a cut. As always Bernard did an amazing job, because it looks great. I couldn't help but to keep staring at Justin over the next few days because it was just such a different look for him. Apparently others felt the same way as they practically knocked us all over trying to get next to Justin to say hello at the parties.
I didn't know what to think at first, but he likes the look and it makes him happy so there you go. Just between you and me, I secretly like it too, so it's all good in my book.
