This is Beth. And it’s May.
1. The Do—Shag
Inspired by
Art:
Dance::
Film:
Animation:
Music:
But mostly Joan Jett:
And other ’80s rockers:
And a couple other classics:
My shag is a lighter brown than last month’s “Brunette.”
2. Music (what was playing at the salon during the doing of the do)—Note: music plays all the time at Bang, I don’t get to pick do-appropriate songs. I do get to pick the title song for the blog post which I did days ago. Among the diverse assortment of songs that played during the doing of the shag – my girl Joan singing I Love Rock n’ Roll.
3. Drink (what I sipped at the salon during the doing of the do)—Note: I do get to choose the do-appropriate drink. This time, rum and coke. Easy to make, easy to drink. Enjoyed with friends (and a crap ton of foils):
They also brought pizza to share!
4. The Theory—The shag gets to be kinda short and kinda long at the same time (without being a mullet). Variations have come and gone for decades. The Joan Jett version is rockin’ tough. Edgy.
5. Reactions—Jill, Liz and Michelle said they like it. Impressed with Monica’s artistry in particular, I think they agree I may have to work on my edginess.
P.S. Title song: Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, I Love Rock n’ Roll
