Birds-nests or lopsided souffles?

GQ's logic would seem to run along these lines.

Hair has power. Zac Efron and Robert Pattinson have box-office power. Therefore, Zac's and Robert's hair have exponential powers?

The stylist(s) who thought that this lopsided souffle of a coif was attractive should try again. I guess the effect s/he was going for was post-coital birds' nest. Or son of Frankenstein. Rarely in the course of human -- or at least hairdo -- history has mousse and muss made such handsome youths look so...clownish. Not that I like the freaky friar combover bowl cut that Efron sports in "17 Again" any better. Still,  these cover-boy coifs may be the silliest movie-star hair since Carrie Fisher showed up wearing twin Danishes on her head as Princess Leia.

Thoughts on Efron and/or Pattinson? I think they may be the cutest sides of vealcake since Johnny Depp, who, like Efron, made his movie debut in a John Waters-inspired musical.

    Carrie, my dear, I still haven't recovered from the swoon you induced with your description of Robert Pattinson as "a buff Hugh Grant with bronze highlights." Hold on, I need a moment. Vealcake indeed.

    I'm not sure I'll be able to get the "post-coital birds nest" image out of my mind for a while. I'd never heard "vealcake" either. Those, plus these images, make for a surprising Saturday starting point. As for Zac Efron, I think the male lead in Spectacular is much, much more appealing.
