DOS & DON'TS

I hate these suicidal poets who are pushing mid-30s and dress like tampons just so they can maybe sneak up a drunk student's gash. Comments/Enlarge | See all


Rave sucks, but when you’re stuck in there, tripping your balls off, catching sight of this and becoming so transfixed with it that you start developing religious theories about asses, it actually starts to make perfect sense. Comments/Enlarge | See all

GROSS!

Collecting Hair and Then Collecting Stories About the Hair That Was Collected

WORDS BY MATHIEU BERENHOLC
PHOTO BY ALBERTO CABRERA

This guy named Louis B. has been amassing a hair collection for six years. He claims to have upward of 400 bags of the stuff. He started when he was working in a salon and he hasn’t stopped since because… actually we have no fucking idea why he does this. But even during his three-month stay in a French prison last year (he won’t tell us what he was in for, but we suspect it was either for loving hair too much, which is a crime in France, or for stealing hair from a barber shop, which is a crime against nature), there he was, walking around asking for hair, filling Ziploc bags with whatever samples he could get his hands on. In fact, Louis got himself employed as the barber for his cell block and became a confidant to his fellow detainees, collecting shady stories along with filthy locks. Ew. Here are some of his favorites.

Roll over the numbers for the history of each ball.
