Back in England, Little Roo made an urgent appointment at the hairdressers. Reader: let this be a warning to you – never give the hairdresser any creative freedom. The hairdresser was going for a Farah-Fawcett-meets-Anthea-Turner style which turned into a Dougal-from-the-Magic-Roundabout-meets-Les-from-the-Bay-City-Rollers look. Now with her new fur-trimmed Parka, Little Roo resembles Trisha Yates from Grange Hill. For anyone who doesn’t understand these 1970s references (weren’t you watching ‘Life on Mars’?), it’s safe to say that Little Roo was disappointed. But all is not lost, as Moscow is the home of strange retro haircuts. It is a widely known fact that all Russian hairdressers attend the same hairdressing school, where they learn the three standard haircuts for men: the mullet (for men in muscle T-shirts), the crew cut (for skinny men) and the fuzzy bush with goatee beard (for overweight men). Women also have a choice of three styles: the long, blonde and ironed flat (for trophy wives), the 1950s perm (for babushkas), and the German-style spikey mullet with optional red dye (for people with no taste).
