gementHow to get myself called sir at Bartell Drug: Fake a receding hairline.
Expanded instructions: Ask a somewhat horrified hair stylist to emphasize my temples and leave the front of my hair longish, a la Christopher Eccleston. When she does not, repeat "Receding hairline. It's for a costume," until she does. Go home and further emphasize the effect with scissors because she only went halfway. Dye it a darker color so it doesn't just disappear into my head.
I wonder why I didn't think of this years ago!
By the way, I was there to purchase more hair dye (see prev post) and also picked up the most masculine-coded tub of hair product I've ever seen in my life, American Crew FIBER. Mostly because it said low-shine and came in a 1.75oz jar so I don't have to carry a giant tub of it to Gally. But so butch!
