Phoenix Loves... A quiff.

Tin Tin, Mark Lamarr, Jackie Wilson, Mark Kermode and Morrissey - a very select gang that today I disovered I'm now part of. It's official. I have a quiff!

As soon as I found out I asked dad a bit more about it and I think I'm right in saying a quiff is a style of haircut that some people (cool ones I guess) have. Dad said that it was a popular style in the 1950s and then again in the 1980s, so on second thoughts perhaps not so cool... sounds ancient!

I had lots of hair when I was born, but mum told me that I lost some when I was a little baby as it rubbed off when I slept. It came off mainly from the sides so now my hair is short at the sides but longer on top as that bit carried on growing, making it my very own quiff! Check it out...

The Phoenix Love quiff.

There's been loads of famous quiffs over the years and most of them are just names to me, but dad promises me they're all cool in their own way. Here are some of my faves...

Clockwise from top left - Tin Tin, Jackie Wilson, Mark Kermode and Mark Lemarr.

I think my favourite, and the leader of all quiffs has to be Morrissey from The Smiths, who as you already know, I like. Maybe I'll keep growing mine and aim to have one just like his, although dad says I could end up looking more like some guy called Curly Watts!

Morrissey look is good.

...Curly Watts not so good!

I'm pretty chuffed with my quiff and I hope you all like it too. I think it was a bit mean of dad to say mine could end up looking like that Curly Watts dude - his do is well rubs!

Just for that, I think everyone needs to know the truth about my dad's quiffed past. Check out this old picture of him when he was 17 - sorry pops, you definitely can't join our gang!

Ha ha. Look at dad's sorry quiff on the far left!

Thanks for reading!
