Rock, paper, scissorshands

 


I became Edward Scissorhands for a post I made about a bad live theater performance I went to in April 2007 based on Edward Scissorhands, the movie. It was a performance without dialogue or lyrics. It was a performance that was so bad, I have absolutely no memory of it except for my post in 2007.   So in a sense, my blog has become my memory, even for things I would just as soon forget.  

But I do like the images ChatGPT created of me as an older Edward Scissorhands. I think the one with black hair makes me look like Snape from Harry Potter.  Or I look like that nutjob record producer who went to prison for shooting a woman -- Phil Spector. He liked to wear crazy ass wigs to his trial. I have to say that I'm digging the black leather suit, though.


Now the white haired version is more me and doesn't look like I am afraid to age.  I do think it makes me look like an aged Andy Warhol.  I also look like I could be a character in Dune, the movie.


The scar on both images does add to my tough, weathered look. I'd like to imagine this is what Edward Scissorhands would look like if they did a sequel today. And I'm letting Tim Burton (who is the same age as me) know that I'm available.  

No snippy comments please.
