This year’s hair show was a perfectly executed feast for the senses. The runway, the lights, the music (can you say “no wave”?), the models and, oh my, the hair!! The women of the GSpot have certainly lived up to their impeccable reputation of keeping things fun, fresh and unlike anything most of us have seen with our own eyes.

You probably decided to spend Tuesday evening outside, enjoying the gorgeous spring weather on your porch or in your backyard, surrounded by friends and cool beverages.

I heard the stories about how they play for hours and chain smoke despite microphones and guitar solo high kicks – how they are more energetic than I am on my best day – how they are one of the most serious rock shows I will ever see. All of this is absolutely true.
