Cartoon and a haircut
Friday night, I came across this great Netflix documentary, LA Originals, about the lives of Estevan Oriol and Mark Machado (Mister Cartoon). Quite frankly, I never had heard about either of them. And yet, I’ve been living in California for over twenty years.
Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 cent, LeBron James, sure all knew who Steve O and Cartoon were. And so did Mark who cut my hair yesterday.
After more than a year of growing out my pandemic luscious gray coupe, it was time to get a trim. Two weeks had passed since my second vaccination.
And with that, two seemingly separate events came together: tattoos, low-riders, Chicano culture in Japan, Los Angeles and a haircut.
