The 28 State Permitted hairstyles of North Korea. Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow!
Dictator Kim Jong-un has issued another hair brained order. North
Koreas’ leader has told his people they may choose from only 28 State permitted
hair styles. Men can pick from 10 variations on the short back and sides but
the despots’ buffoon buffon look adopted by the supreme leader is not
on the list. Older men in the state can grow their hair to three inches long. All
other blokes have been warned to ensure their hair is a maximum length of two
inches. Maybe Kim Jong-un might need to pay a visit to a barber? Women have a
bit more choice with a dazzling array of 18 styles that all look the same. Married
women have been told to keep their hair short while those not yet wed can have
longer locks. The North Korean government thinks these styles are most comfortable and
able to guard against the corrupting effects of capitalism. This isn’t the
first time North Korea has launched an all out assault on flamboyant hair. In
2005 they aired a television series entitled ‘Let us trim our hair in accordance
with socialist lifestyle.’ Wow that must have been riveting. Rules
are rules so better pay attention we don’t want any of us facing a brush with
the law if we visited North Korea. Drats that means no mullets, no mohawks and
no shaggy dogs!
We eagerly await the North Korean edict on premitted styles for dogs. By breed of course. And we won't make any jokes about the 'ready for the casserole dish' look being the favourite...
ReplyDeleteCheers! Bertie and Gail.
We definitely couldn't visit there at the moment. We are hairy mammoths in need of Spring airecuts.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday Molly
We don't think we have 'regulation' cuts at the moment!
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
I'd hate to think what they'd say about my do...
ReplyDeleteBawwaahhaaa love your hair in the bath Molly :) Have a wonderful Tuesday xxooxx
ReplyDeleteMollie and Alfie
Lol you're right, they do all look the same!
ReplyDeleteHow about balding men? The permitted hair styles seem to assume all men to have a thick mop of hair. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm My Daddy would not fit in in North Korea with his crazy hair and Mums is far too long and she is married aswell, I think since my furs are pretty neat and tidy that I may blend in well! I must say that the #5 lady hair looks the best to us! Great informative post today, plus I love your duck friends! Love and Licks from your furiend Frank the Tank xxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteThat's one messed up country!
ReplyDeleteWow, we are lucky to live where we don't have these types of laws. Have a hairy-good day! Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteI've seen this look before...you may want to be extra careful the next few days. State authorized hairdos. Wonder if hairdressers have to take a special course.
ReplyDeleteThink we'll pass on that for our next vacation destination. :)
ReplyDeleteWell looks like I will have to cross North Korea off my vacation destinations.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Maybe they will add another style after Dennis Rodman's trip there and sit down with Kim Jong-un? ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a miserable country!
ReplyDeleteWow. Dictating hairstyles for people? Wrong..just wrong! Now...I think YOU would look good with ANY hairstyle Molly.
ReplyDeleteIt is a well known fact that Capitalism enters the human body through the top of the head. These hairstyles should be effective in keeping the N Koreans from getting infected.
ReplyDeleteI feel I must point out that I don't think your dogs haircut does not comply with the standards...
DeleteJá pensou seos líderes de estado da gente adota essa idéia?! kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
ReplyDeleteBeijos Molly e linda semana *-*
(Desculpe o meu desaparecimento, mas é que estou bem atarefada com a faculdade aqui!)
Oh that sounds weird... I hope the people who have a dome aren't in trouble now...Have a funny tuesday ;o)
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find all this stuff..lol.....we would have trouble fitting in over there.

i saw that headline and just shook my spiky-haired head.
ReplyDeleteI think those haircuts are meant to block rational thought...not socialism. Good grief!
ReplyDeleteThat is enough to make your hair stand on end Molly!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he had banned colored hair too ?
ReplyDeleteAll we can say is ??HUH????
ReplyDeletelove your tub picture.

I'm glad I don't live there! I don't even look good with dark hair! ;-)
ReplyDeleteut-oh, our mommy would be in SUCH trubble. her hair's, like, lebenty leben inches long or sumpin'. AND YOU GOTTED A BAFF?!?!?!??!
ReplyDeleteMuahaha, oh...gotta love those crazy dictator antics! ;-) Hm, I have a feeling that my back mohawk wouldn't be appreciated as much, huh?! Hehehe! Well I say, everyone should appease the dude, keep a state allowed style, and then dye their hair crazy rainbow/neon colors!! :-P
ReplyDeleteWe can just imagine them walking into the hairdresser, "I'd like - "
ReplyDeletehairdresser shakes her head and points to the 'wall o' photos'
"but..."
wall o' photos or nothing!

That's why they say North Korea is on a hair trigger...
ReplyDeleteOh, Molly! Is it bath day for you? You have our condolences. We are glad we don't love in North Korea. How/why do people put up with such nonsense?
ReplyDeleteSusan and Wrigs
Wow... that sucks for them.
ReplyDeleteMolly you are so darn cute with your bath hair!
ReplyDeleteMolly, we so hope you managed to escape that tub of torture.
ReplyDeleteThat order is a good reminder of how fortunate we are to have the freedoms we have.

I never knew television could sound so boring! Although it is good to know my hairs will be within the limits if I change my mind and want to watch this boring show :)
ReplyDeleteWe don't thing Long Furred Dachshunds would be well thought of in that place.
ReplyDeleteLOL... love the rubber duckies! Keep them away from North Korea!
ReplyDeleteI cant see us visiting there any time soon. There not cutting my hair
ReplyDeleteSheba.
Looks like your hair style is not permitted, Molly. You are a rebel ;-)

HI Molly,
ReplyDeleteThe phrase I guess from L'Oreal BECAUSE I'M WORTH IT gone out of the window.....God knows what their pop groups must look like...Hair Cut 1000 don't think so.
We are staying here
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Law of physics ~ wet dogs weigh more also ~ so don't die wet!
ReplyDeleteGuess they made that law so barbers can get a higher regulated pay.
Thanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Scot
We are wondering if the illustrious Dictator will perhaps add multi-color hair and nose rings to the list in honor of Dennis Rodman's visit.
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Cindi Lou & The Kitty Krew
Woww, so many options.....not lol. On the other hand Molly your picture left me leaving here with a smile once again, too cute!
ReplyDeleteAll I can think is that they are trying to boost the economy for the barber and hair salons. Unbelievable. Won't be visiting there. Hubby and I both have long hair. We'd be doomed.
ReplyDeleteMomz would have some serious trouble there...Her super curly hair wouldn't make "the cut" Maybe she could shave her head? BOL!
ReplyDeleteAnyone who worries about how other people are wearing their hair doesn't have enough to do!
ReplyDeletemolly, thank you for all you do and for being a part on my life. i don't comment often enough, but think about you and your family everyday. thanks for being such great friends that share such fun information! hugs from M, head thumps from Tiera, and spiritual sniffs from JesseJ
ReplyDeleteHelp, Molly, mom is thinking about movingo to North Korea! She would love to have straight and black hair (actually it's curly and grey) and she likes nº2 haircut. I think it's a great idea, please comb your hair!!! But you look sweet at the photo...
