Kick out the curls, motherfuckers: Wayne Kramer of MC5 and his spectacular curls sparkling in the sunlight like the dense foliage of an oak tree firmly rooted in his rocknroll soul, in a killer shot ca. 1970 (haven’t been able to track down the photographer, so any info will be appreciated, because this piece of pure art shouldn’t go uncredited).

Hair has always been an integral part of a person’s identity in most youth subcultures, whether it was the slick back rockabilly quiff, the soul/disco afro, the long-haired hippy type or the punk spikes and mohawks. According to brother Wayne's memoir ‘The Hard Stuff: Dope, Crime, The MC5 & My Life of Impossibilities’:

“…Hair was a big issue. The new, long-haired British bands set the style and we all adjusted accordingly. But Rob and I had hair that was curly, really curly, which meant we had a problem. I would plaster it down with Dippity-Do, and when it dried it would be straight … for a short time. Rob's methods were even more extreme involving chemicals and professional barbers. Until one day when Rob showed up at rehearsal with a small, beautiful natural Afro. He discovered that his hair was perfect the way it came out of his head. We all agreed he looked fabulous. Rob Tyner, the first white boy in Detroit with an Afro, showed me the way once again. I, too, decided to go with my natural curl. Problem solved.”

Merry Christmas everybody!

The gang decided to visit the Christmas market, stopping by Choji's stall to buy some candied apples.

While Ryota was lost in his own world, savouring the deliciously glazed delight, Ebisu picked out apples for the rest of his friends - unaware that Haru was about to ambush him with a snowball.

Luckily for him, Furufumi - ever prepared with a book in hand - stepped in to protect his boyfriend from the wintry attack.

Meanwhile, Hotei and Takeminakata, unusually lovey-dovey, seemed to be caught up in the magic of Christmas.

-Perhaps that's just what holiday bliss does to couples?
