Welcome to a new live-stream, reality show, available on HBO Mini – Haircuts at House Parties in Highland Park.
Watch as six neighbors rotate hosting the discretionary income hijinks in their backyards, with a different local tonsorial artist each week (competing for the end-of summer Sweeney Todd Award), in an excuse to get together and have someone run his/her/its hands through their hair.
Each cut will be accompanied by a carefully selected wine and cheese combination, recommended by an online college, home economics graduate (whose degree is starting to look better) bagging at the local Trader Joe’s, and pretentiously described in unintelligible detail at the event by a guest, now otherwise out-of-work, incredibly desperate, five-star restaurant sommelier,
Each coiffure also will be shaped to coordinate with the design of the backyard garden, as explained by a lonely horticulturist from the nearby botanical gardens.
If that weren’t enough, the gathering will serve as a celebrity roast, with those waiting their turn in the chair making increasing snide remarks about the person going under the scissors, holding the viewers on the edge of their seats, as attempts at humor lapse into nasty allegations of infidelity, property encroachment, and tax evasion.
