It's definitely a thing.

Having said that... the man has hair of the gods.  His method is working just fine for him.

Well, sure. But if he can cut his hair-drying time in half, he'll have more time to share his godlike locks with the public.

Ok, I made an instructional video. But since it has my real face and my youtube account uses my real name, I don't want to post it unless there's real demand. So let me know if there's actual interest in seeing how I make my head go from wet to dry.

Only if you're puckering and vamping for the camera as much as RGod did.

Let's not forget the times the blower goes south...

Yeah, no. I'm not half as good looking anyway.

[Nabubrush]

Oh, like anyone's going to care about hunting them down little old Joanna Lenore.

Oops! Sorry about that Jay-Ell!

This whole time I thought I'd been conversing with Julia-Louis Dreyfus.

actually a lot of the puckering is drying my mustache

[KeithHernandez]

I blow dry too, though hoping for different results, so I wouldn't mind seeing it.

Okay. Here it is, for a few days. I'll take it down once you guys have had a chance to watch and learn.

a) beauty must be a pain in the ass.
b) your mid western-ness manifested itself(what i mean is, i detected a bit of the accent.)

I have a really muddled accent now, I think. When I go North, my family there marvels at how Southern I sound, but my in-laws tease me about my "Yankee" accent.

I have lived in the south long enough that I've picked up the more obvious things like "y'all" and "I'ma do that," but the underlying midwesterniness never faded. And when I'm in dialog with someone else, I pick up whatever accent they speak with. I think that video probably betrays the closes thing to a natural speaking voice I really have, but in conversation I often sound completely different.

When I watch too much BBC it gets embarrassing, because none of my British accents are very good but I have trouble turning them off once they've gotten in my head.

I watched 42 seconds of that and I'm pretty sure I better stop there. Oh my.


Also, I am drunk. And soon to be drunker. I am surrounded by gorgeous young ladies tonight.

[jay-ell]

I can't actually watch the whole thing, I have tried twice to test for sound quality and such but it is just too boring. But I don't think mine is half as sexy as RG's. I am just, you know, drying my hair and being bossy.

And midwestern, apparently.

Today my dad told me that as a child he had a mild Scottish accent in addition to his Boston accent. His teacher made him go to speech therapy until he stopped saying things like "bah-nah-nah" for banana.

My girlfriend claims my whole family has a weird accent that she can't imitate or place. She says it is both that we say certain words in a weird way, and that we have the same speech patterns. She has a cute Chicago accent that has mostly gone away. This makes me sad.

thanks for the tips jl.  do you think the damage from drying thing is a myth?  everyone seems to have different opinions.

then even if its damaged, does that mean new hair that grows in will not have the damage?  and what exactly is the damage?  who really knows?


i had to go to speech therapy because i couldnt pronounce the H sound in the word "three."  would just say "tree."  just thought about it the other day and now ive reverted back to 'tree' for fun.  my new york accent is pretty thick and i put it on intentionally sometimes.  i read this article once that said the NY accent is the only amercian accent perceived as being unintelligent and since then ive tried to use it intentionally.
