Nationalistic Buzz Cuts

Chinese Nod to Early Nineties for Holiday Celebration

Chinese youth are celebrating Chinese National Day this October 1st by sporting a very early 90s haircut. Reminiscent of the Kid 'n' Play duo, Chinese barbers are buzzing in shapes of the Great Hall of the People and Tiananmen Square to the finest detail.

In true patriotic form, the coifs are topped with red and gold flags, and even photo insets of Mao where found necessary. Between the brightly-dyed mohawks and jetting flags, I wonder how they will manage to sleep on these masterpieces until October 1st rolls around.
