Getting your haircut can sometimes be a hit or miss thing. If you connect with the right stylist, you walk away happy. But, if they’re even a little bit off, it can send you off trying to find a hat until it grows out. What is it about a good haircut that makes us feel…

Disco Sucks (MM #1581)

There are certain words that take you back to a time and place. Words like ‘Disco Sucks’. In the late 70’s and into the early 80’s it was a battle cry for many. You either loved disco or you hated it. But looking back 35+ years, I realized something…
