Man Up! (2013)
“It happened while I was lathering, rinsing, and repeating with Pert Plus (the original multitasker—shampoo and conditioner in one). As I was belting out the chorus to my favorite song from Funny Girl, “Oh my man, I love him so, he’ll never know…,” it hit me.
This was during my Barbra Streisand phase in high school. I’ll always love her, but for a few months back then, her songs were on heavy rotation in my head.On a clear day you can see forever, and on that particular day, just like Barbr...a Streisand’s flawless voice, everything was crystal clear. It felt like an out-of-body experience as my perspective shifted and I saw myself for what I really was: a boy with impeccably cleaned and conditioned hair singing a stunning Streisand standard about the man who got away. I mean, duh. I can only compare it to staring at one of those Magic Eye posters. You know, those prints with the weird images that look like nothing more than static on an old TV until you manage to focus just right and suddenly an image of a dolphin seems to magically reveal itself when you least expect it.MoreLess
