I'm Bringing The Braids Back - GoFuckYourself.com

Yrs ago when I first started coming to conventions and other industry events I had a long goatee that I kept braided in anywhere from 2 to 6 braids. While nothing way over the top or overly wild, it did help me to stick out in peoples minds that I first met and talked with or even just people who saw me. As far as self branding went, the braids definitely helped.

A few yrs back I shaved them off and kept a neatly trimmed goatee since then. At the time, while I did this partially for a girl, I also did it thinking it might help me to have a more professional look. I guess that's what I get for thinking. I now know that my work speaks louder for me then any picture ever will and that's now what I choose to let speak for me.

The braids are coming back, been about a month now and I expect them to be fully ready to be braided by the end of August. Here a few pics from the past.

I so love red heads

Or you can just rent out the shirt real estate, I hear that is a hot commodity. Though your name and a big ass arrow pointing up may really stand out.

Oh wait... You need to invest in multi color pastel shirts.

I may be willing to offer myself as a walking billboard at a show. Just a thought... if the price is right.
