35 Years of Prince’s Hairdos (1978-2013) in 15 Glorious Seconds! Anyone who’s suffered through the hell of growing out a short style or spent a pre-awards show afternoon getting sewn into extensions will appreciate the brisk pace of London-based illustrator Gary Card‘s garycardiology.blogspot.pt/ “Prince Hair Chart” slideshow. It’s only 15 seconds long, but seriously, can you name another Prince with coiffures amorphous enough to merit such prolonged gaze? Certainly, not Charles nndb/people/481/000023412/prince-charles-face.jpg , or even the compellingly flame-haired Harry img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/01642/Prince_Harry_1642875a.jpg . As this chronological speed-through of 35 years of hairdos attests, musical chameleon Prince (aka Love Symbol #2, Prince Rogers Nelson) has never shied from standing out in a crowd. Thirty-six looks shimmer and writhe atop his lavender pate, as he stares cooly ahead, more mantis than Medusa. Not all of them worked. If we were playing Who Wore It Better redcarpet-fashionawards/category/blog-features/who-wore-it-better/ , I’d have to go with Liza Minelli (1985) redcarpet-fashionawards/category/blog-features/who-wore-it-better/ and Jennifer Aniston (1990), but the slideshow is richer (and a couple of fractions of a second longer) due to such silliness. Doubtless Prince will have rearranged his locks before the doves can cry again. His latest look, as evidenced by a recent guest cameo opposite pitchfork/news/53796-watch-princes-episode-of-new-girl/ Zooey Deschanel on the TV comedy, ‘New Girl’ pitchfork/news/53796-watch-princes-episode-of-new-girl/ , is a return to roots, a la 1978. smg.photobucket/user/ecnirp2004/media/Prince/1978-1-1_zps1eef765f.jpg.html Ayun Halliday ayunhalliday/ is the author of seven books, and creator of the award winning East Village Inky zine. Prince tweeted about Gary Card’s hairdo overview… bringmethenews/2014/02/07/prince-hair-chart-grabs-attention-of-purple-one-while-in-u-k/ so perhaps it’s in the realm of possibility that he’ll be the next to squawk in her direction @AyunHalliday https://twitter/AyunHalliday Via garycardiology.blogspot.pt/
