That’s the one that comes before a long weekend, right?

Do they have festivals?

Hilarious Hair (on me, at least)

There are few things funnier than putting on wigs and hats and trying to look ridiculous. There could also be few things more helpful, when deciding on a new haircut or hairstyle, than being able to have some idea of how you will look when the hairdresser steps away and puts the scissors down.

Edmonton-based salon EvelineCharles is making both dreams come true.

The chain of salons has a new iPhone app that acts a virtual stylist. And they know you and I will also use it to make hilarious Facebook profile pictures. (They are totally cool with the app being used for entertainment purposes!)

Once you download the app you can plug in any photo of yourself and try out a number of hairstyles. If you find one you like you can use the app to find the nearest EvelineCharles, where they will be ready to provide you with any of the looks in the app, and even book a hair appointment right from your phone (or iPad). You can also show off your photos at an EC salon to receive freebies.

You can also tweet, e-mail, and share photos of yourself on Facebook from the app, so there’s no delay in letting everyone know you look good.

Now I’m just waiting for the next update of hairstyles…

(Yes, I am fully aware, this one’s really more for the ladies.)

Thanks to Colin MacIntyre for sending this our way. Check your nearest Safeway for spelling shenanigans.

Stop Where?

I like when seinfeils aren’t just spelling errors.

Because two is better than one.

First up, we all know that the last boom pushed the cost of owning light standards through the roof. I hope I can get a good deal renting one.

Thanks to Marilyn for this one.

And this guy is going to be the saddest voter of all on May 2. No matter who wins.
