TrendSpark: The Michael J. Fox

Edited by Saynt

Michael J. Fox is a pint sized teen idol from the days of Feris Bueller and Pop Rocks, so it should could as no surprise to anyone that his signature doo, a feathered style haircut ideal for the yuppie set, would makes it way onto todays 80s addicted fashion scene. John Mayer is one of the first “celebrities” rocking the look, which personally I feel is just his way to better connect with his over-the-hill love interest, Perez Hilton Jennifer Aniston, who actually grew up and was a teenager when Alex P. Keaton was running prime time TV with his Reagan lust.

Mayer, in true cooler than thou, look how much I don’t care, but really do style decided to rant on about his new hair cut and provide inspirations for the look on his blog. Yes, John Mayer keeps a blog where he talks about his hair. He claims the look exudes  an “attitude of ease and quiet confidence that seems to have all but eluded our generation.”  I think it exudes an attitude of douchebag ala douche.  Hopefully, Mayer will eventually stop focusing on his hair and begin focussing on new songs we can bang to. “Your Body Is a Wonderland” just doesn’t guarantee the same type of action it once did.

We have John Mayer’s full take on his new look below…

Today I set off on my newest project; to grow and maintain an authentic ’80s style feathered haircut. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for some time and I’m very excited to bring this amazing look into today’s pop culture landscape. The feathered cut projects an attitude of ease and quiet confidence that seems to have all but eluded our generation.

This is a work in progress, and as my hair grows longer it will serve to become a more stirring and poignant statement.

Below are some photographs I used as inspiration. I look forward to reporting on my progress in upcoming blogs.
