That Blow Out show is just so much a window on the dark and also green human heart.
The owner needs to succeed with every ounce of his anatomy and he is obsessed with that need like no one I have seen ever. That's how Napoleon felt. That is how Gengis Khan saw life. I want. I want. I want. He has only one thing ever on his mind. All that hugging and kissing and so forth and so on....nah. He isn't fillin'it. It's all about manipulation and control. Why do the employees put up with it? Why do they blatantly kiss up both physically and verbally? Because each hair job brings in hundreds of dollars. It is all about money. Are they in any way psychologically attached to him? Nah. If those hair cuts suddenly cost 20-30 dollars, they'd be gone. The owner also is interesting in that he has the heart of the ultimate Jewish shopper; he NEVER SETTLES. Not in the smallest increment. He ALWAYS gets exactly what he wants down to the finest adjustment.
No energy expenditure is too much. No amount of heaping shame on others is too much meanness to do. He is surrounded by an almost visibly throbbing, humming energy field of I want, I want, I want. Imagine if that man cared about anything important. If you had to bet on how many books he and his entire staff have read in their whole lives, what number would you pick? People like that make it tough for school teachers because when you tell Bubba, "You need to be well read or you will be poor," Bubba says, "Yeah? How about those completely illiterate vampires on the Blow Out show, huh?" Not incidentally, are the hair cuts good? No, they are transformingly wonderful. That salon will burst at the seams and become a chain as big as McDonalds because this media exposure lets the whole world see a place where you can go in ordinary and come out looking excellent....for hundreds of dollars plus you have to let a lot of vampires kiss you. That show is one truly interesting bit of reality programing. Finally about the owner I find interesting his antennae. He so fully concentrates on the work place as a whole money-making entity that he has invested his body into the building. He hears and sees through the walls, sinks, and chairs and he knows to the milimeter when something needs fixed and goes right away and deals with it. That is exactly what experienced teachers have about school. I can have a room full of children devoted to rocking the house and I will infallibly hear the one thing said by one child which is trouble waiting to happen and I'm on it immediately. Without that sense, a teacher is a clueless shrieker at everyone, soon ignored by all. In the hairjoint, all that mindless babble and yakkety yak is going on, but the owner hears the one thing said which is going to be trouble and BAM he's got somebody out in the alley telling them the word. How did he hear, how did he see? He's got good antennae. I said, if only that man cared about something important, he'd be an asset to God. I think, though, that he'd be a good lesson to a young person starting out in any endeavor; care that much, try that hard. Just don't be that guy.
Yes, the entire bunch of them remind one of the last days of the Roman Empire, but that whole-souled focus, come shameful stupidity, come botox, come scenes of undead sentiment, flat out eyes on the prize demeanor...it leads to the goal line well before the competition arrives.
Last and ultimate point...1)If you could have your hair LIKE anyone of them, which would you pick?
2) If you could have your hair CUT by anyone of them, which would you pick?
I like the pink hair and if I ever get thin, I am going to have my hair done christmas snow white with rainbow highlights and have it cut about a foot long all over and afroed. Yes, even a heavyweight(HEY!! I'm talking ...er,figuratively here. OK another bad word choice.) philosopher like me can be diverted into the shallows.
