Happy Holidays from Abidjan! I am recovering from a dinner and dance party, but I wanted to share some art from two roadside barbers.

Ok, I thought my friend, Bill, posting a photo of himself with a goofy grin while sailing the Atlantic on Christmas was the awesomest Christmas photo this year, but you totally, totally win. Mad amounts of win. Like, Charlie Sheen “Winning” levels of win. Camels > tiger blood. *high five*

This is great! I just shaved my own head yesterday, too bad I didn’t see this before as I would have loved to have a camel on the side….que sera…

  Just wait till your hair grows out a little bit. It’s never too late to shave a camel into your head.

  Thanks, Andi. Camel tattoos have been done before. I wanted to truly innovate.

Holy shit, Phil! It’s such a bold statement posted right upside your head. Very impressive. How are you going to fight off all the ladies just dying to stroke your camel?

Phil, that’s wicked! I’ve inadvertently had my head shaved a few times overseas and I might try something like this myself. I promise it won’t be a camel though – that’s your territory. Happy holidays mate!
