S'tresses

Women are well known for cutting all their hair off after a split. The film 'Sliding Doors' is probably the best incarnation of this fascinating, but seemingly female-only pursuit. I for one am quilty of it, but it does give you a renewed sense of identity and empowerment, which is what you crave when a relationship ends. It's also the best change of scene you can get for around £30. The thing is, I've never really noticed a man do it before, so was suprised to see that Alex Turner has opted for such a radical change of image following his 'amicable' split with Alexa Chung. He unveiled the new look to his fans at this weekend's V festival. Some loved it, some hated it. I personally think he looks a bit like John Lennon circa 1958. Anyway, I really think it's a good move for the Arctic Monkey's front man, because I was concerned the lad had started to morph into Alexa- it seemed he was growing his hair to match hers at one point. Then it just got longer than hers, which I didn't really get but now I come to think of it, at his longest lengths, he did bear an uncanny resemblence to John around the time of Abbey Road. And although I'm not a fan of the Greaser look, it should help him get over the stress of breaking up.

We'll get some purple pitched tail lights and thirty inch fins, oh yeahhh
