A Lion's Tale (and Mane)



I did something today that I would wager a dollar that no one else in the world was doing: I put a hair weave on a stuffed lion. We were at the Safari House (big surprise) where a gnarly stuffed lion lives on the deck outside the family room. This poor lion must have lived a rough life because he was nearly bereft of hair on his head. He was balding. He was headed for cue ball status. He was about to join the Hair Club for Kings of the Jungle.

So the homeowner got me a huge bag of human hair (made in China) and I went to work with my trusty hot glue gun. At the end of the afternoon, after a lot of attaching, snipping, teasing and feathering, that lion had one fine, fine mullet. Here are before and after pictures of "Mane-ard".
