Hip (Replacement) Hop
I've been asked by Sprite's CG (civics group) to come to work tomorrow dressed in hip-hop clothes. As they went through the checklist, they began to realise: our wardrobe is not his wardrobe. Theirs apparently involve baggy tops, hipster pants/ bermudas/ three-quarter-lengths and bandannas. Mine's kinda stuck in the late 80s, and has been for the longest time.
Eventually, we settled on a compromise: jeans and a baggy shirt (or, at least I think I have one). There's also some mention of doing something to my hair which involves "spiking" and "spraying it blue". To which the wife says if it accelerates my hair loss, they are paying for the hair replacement treatment.
All this trouble is for Be Yourself Day or Friendship Day (whichever version the speaker prefers) -- students get to wear what they want and they get to make their tutors wear/ do whatever they request. All for a small fee, of course; proceeds from the collection go to a charity. The President's something or other.
The price of my humiliation? $2 per student for the clothes and a sum yet to be decided upon for the damage to the hair.
All very noble.

Hip hop image is very popular, but you should be very careful with your hair if you don't want to wake up one day to find strands of hair on your pillow, some on your dressing table, some in the bathtub, and some more in the sink. You'd feel like tearing your clothes off, screaming like The Hulk, because you notice that patch of glaring bareness on your head. and after you try some natural methods, which probably won't help you let, you will have to do hair replacement treatment. Your wife is right, hip hop can really accelerate hair loss.
