Roma’s dowdy haircut, a la prisoner at best or as he just passed through a birth canal at worst, ruins his prospects. That Borneo-monkey hairdo called “zero” reduced his womanizing chances to such. The higher males’ age and intellect, the more head hair. Shorn-off preschoolers had Julius Caesar’s fashionable forelock – a small fetching mane above the forehead. Higher life forms – pupils, prisoners and first-year soldiers – were skinheads (then the term and such men were not conceived yet). A hairy crown of the seventh-graders and low class youth was called box – saints knew why. Shrewder men had hair on the head back too – semi-box. The elite trimmed the full head of hair – polka (no relation to the dance and a Polish female). Surely, no booby had Herr Einstein’s lewd hair architecture.
Of course, boys considered hair-cutting as a severe punishment for the sins they did not have and saw barbers only when the teachers ordered.
That fashionable haircut came to Kiev’s schools not from the Red Army, forced-labor camps, prisons or the like board-and-shelter institutions. During and right after the World Bloodbath II, the tiny, mighty lice made that Soviet fashion statement. A school nurse inspected the pupils weekly in her office decorated with lavishly illustrated, doleful, but macho, slogan “A louse is your mortal enemy!”
“Napoleon was a great hero too,” she sent the enemies’ carriers for the sanitary treatment. “He invaded Russia with a half million men, but escaped from to Lithuania with twenty-five thousand and then to France with only three-thousand. Louse-born typhus and trench fever finished his army off.”
Actually, it was not the first lousy fashion statement. During the World Bloodshed I, British Fog-Breathers sent leather jackets to their Russian ally. Later those jackets became the Soviet commissars’ uniform. They survived typhus for lice discriminate against leather. Then the Gestapo, bikers, and other right people had leather jackets too. Were afraid to be lousy or what?
