Barbicide


I'll draw anything. Getting my hair done? I'll draw the stuff on my hairdresser's counter. The top thing looks like a UFO but it is only a black plastic hot air diffuser from the blow dryer. "Barbicide" sounds like something that is supposed to kill Barbie, or barbers. The ominous blue liquid in the cylindrical container is actually a disinfectant, as you can see if you read closely. The hairdresser's tools are in the solution to keep them clean. The timer is to measure how long the dye is in my hair. Better living through chemistry! The spiky thing with the handle is not a mechanical porcupine but a blowdrying hairbrush. And so now I have fresh hair.
