Hair, there, everywhere

On my way to Smashbox to see Jeremy Scott's raucous runway show last night, I swung by DJ Steve Aoki's party celebrating the release of his signature line of headphones (you heard right) at Fred Segal on Melrose Avenue. "That '70s Show" actor Danny Masterson was on the turntables when I got there -- and my estimation of him rose significantly when someone clued me in on his musical moniker: DJ Mom Jeans. Classic. (See Aoki and Masterson, at top). Swedish sportswear company WeSC sponsored the event, luring a cache of scruffy Nordic dudes to the store's restaurant patio and bar area. But the most eye-catching person there was underground hip-hop artist Murs (just one name, above), who boasted fountain-like sprigs of dreaded hair from various parts of his head. When asked how he achieves the look, Murs demurred. "I don't do anything to it," he said, "it does this on its own." I couldn’t help scanning his head for wires anyway.
