| Just being turned into a vampire? So what? |
|
|
| No reason to neglect his hair care! |
We caught our first glimpse of Lord John Roxton at the Royal
Zoological Society in London. Clean-shaven, with long, carefully kempt longish hair, he was the epitome of a dapper British
gentleman.
| How to get this look? |
|
|
| Volumizer, gel and careful blowdrying - the latter a REAL chore when out exploring |
| Early Plateau Style |
|
|
| A long, slightly dishevelled look |
His long hair was tamed with gel and he always took care to get enough volume
by using a voluminizing spray when blowdrying his hair. The look was perfectly appropriate for a rugged adventurer, albeit
a bit hard to maintain on expeditions as he had to carry around gel, combs and brushes. (Note: at this early stage of their
relationship Miss Krux was unwilling to share her hairbrush with him. She has since revised her policy, as they have gotten
very close over the years)
It turned out pretty soon that while the look was asthetically pleasing,
it was not really well-suited to the life of constant struggle on the Plateau.
| The Curse of the Floppy Hair |
|
|
| It looks good in a London Club, but try beating up bad guys, when your hair is in the way... |
After they had fought against Osric and the Norse hordes, Marguerite and
John had a very serious conversation, in which Miss Krux spoke these immortal words:
Marguerite: "Face it, Roxton, floppy hair is ok for sipping Gin & Tonic
in your London club, on the Plateau it's just a fashion foible."
| The use of gel makes your hair look good... |
|
|
| ... but it can be a disincentive for a woman to touch your curls! |
| Shorter hair, no gel... |
|
|
| And see how much further he got with his lady love! It's all a matter of hair... |
It took many months for Lord John Roxton to accept this harsh, but true
assessment of appropriate Plateau hairdo, but in the end he took action. His new post-river-haircut do looks fabulous. It
is masculine, fashionable and looks perfect even after a lengthy battle with Plateau villains. And since he doesn't have to
use as much gel anymore, we have seen an increasing amount of instances when Marguerite lovingly strokes the back of his head.
Coincidence? We think not... Hair DOES matter in a relationship.
| A man who takes pride in his hair |

| Regular trims and monthly deep conditioning treatments at the Hair Palace |
| A pleasing look from any angle |
|
|
| This style is a winner in love and war! |
We also had a few questions regarding more drastic modifications of his lordship's hair. Would he stoop
to getting a perm? Could Mr. Ramone talk him into hair extensions for special occasions, like the Zanga fertility festival?
The answer is a resounding no. To quote his lordship: "There's a distinct difference between haircare and frippery!"
| Inquiring minds wanted to know: Natural waves? |
|
|
| Of course! This natural look cannot be done with a perm. Whatever Mr. Ramone says... |
