Strategic 'DO-ality

Via the Chronicle's Culture Blog comes this pic of Gavin sporting a new gel-free look:



Some people commented that The Mayor's new 'do reminded them of teen pop stars like Aaron Carter, or Melrose Place dreamboat, Jake. I would simply point those confused souls in a different direction--into Gavin's heart.

You see, The Gav isn't going to waste his time or his stalwart hairline imitating any celebrity or, shudder to think, some fictional TV character. No, he was merely sending out a message to his compadre Uncle J, courtesy of the San Francisco photogs. Note the resemblence of The Mayor's coiffure to this:



Need I say more? Of course he chose the source of their bond as the medium for said message--would you send Mozart a candygram? No! Of course you'd write him a song, send a little serenade! Thusly, The Mayor used his locks to compose a little coded "Howdy" to the hair maestro himself, Jesse Katsopolis.

Nice one, G. I for one am proud to live in a city where The Mayor takes such pains to communicate messages of support and solidarity with his closest friend. It kind of reminds you that such signs of human kindness can really be all around us. That in fact, "It's everywhere you look."
