DROP DEAD HAIRDO QUIFF
Quiff is an upswept hairdo , in this case very dia de los muertes.
The quiff was popularized in the 1950s by Elvis Presley. It combines the 50s pompadour with a flattop. The showy do was a middle finger to the nearly bald shave cuts of the World War II Armed forces.
Today, the style has been popularized by the soigne male, an over-groomed sophisticate. Sometimes it is wildly tousled. An abundance of hair products is involved. See current Secretary of Defense or almost any self-admiring Hollywood or reality T.V.”star.”
The word "quiff" is also slang for a woman, especially one who is easy. But that’s another story.
The skull is all about death and rebirth. It is a celebration of life. Just like when you get the perfect hairdo
