Eldorado

December 17, 2008 @ 18:06

Meanwhile, the Vienna Meats story reminded of another story, and it deals with haircuts and big boobs.

Shortly after become a teenager another variety store opened in our neighbourhood that was about half the distance of the variety stores that I mentioned in the Vienna story.

It was at Birchmount and Flintridge Rd. about halfway between Eglinton and Lawrence and it was called what else, "Flint-mount Variety."

Anyway also locating in this new strip mall was a hair cutting place called "El Dorado"and it represented the first "cool" hair cutting place in our district.

By this time if you didn't want to get your hair cut at the local barber shop, you had to go all the way downtown to a place like the "House of Lords" or some other over-priced rip off joint.

"El Dorado" became the favourite of all my friends and me because of the "extra" it offered.

None of us had ever had our hair washed as part of the hair cutting process. You just went to the barber shop, jumped in the chair and let Harry snip away.

"El Dorado" was a little more expensive but before you got into the chair you were directed to a sink to have your hair washed by a women. A young woman who always wore a very short skirt, painted herself up with lots of make-up, and made sure you noticed her enormous breasts.

You couldn't help but notice her big and bouncy boobatats because after you leaned back so your head would go into the sink, she would lean forward so her upper womanhood would engulf your face.

Word spread quickly and all of a sudden our neighbourhood went from a collection of pimply faced greasy longhairs to a collection of pimply faced not-so-long-hairs with beautiful gleaming shiny manes.

I was a brilliant marketing move by the owner of "El Dorado."

Don't kid yourself, it was all planned, and I had the boners to prove it.

Jezzus, Fred...the memories or mammaries.

This is what I hate about the Magicuts/SuperCuts era where you're handing over a twenty to some poor young immigrant who was scammed thousands of dollars for an esthetics diploma at the Brampton College of Fancy Hair.

More than the CAW and their enablers at the Big Three, I will miss the old Italian guys with shops like the Underground Barber on Sheppard or the El in Scarborough.

Stank like body spray at a Woodbridge nightclub, nobody knew who was "next", combs soaked in containers of Barbasol more infected than packages of Maple Leaf luncheon meat.

And the Penthouse magazines. Nowhere could a young fella wait for a trim and see such filth. You walk into a Magicuts now and it smells like salad and the magazines tout healthy living and removing your Caesarian scars.

And that nice woman from Jamaica cutting your hair thinks the Leafs are what you rake every fall.

Try Paul's on Yonge Street in Aurora.

Mmmmm. Pendulous orbs of love swaying gracefully above my head in a sink.

All I get it a gay guy (not that there is anything wrong with that) covered with tatoos. I wish for the day.

My barber Gino was one of the guys who ran that shop at the time and he probably cut your hair.He says her name was Linda and that the washroom was quite the place as well.Sounds like everybody was having a ball,including thr owners.

Ah Freddie you bring back fond mammaries, (I mean fond memories) of a place called Hairport at Eglinton and Markham road. Playboy mags and some hot panted little thing giving teenage boys a wet dream.
I'm started to sound like my father, wishing for the good old days.

It seems like yesterday when you told us about the haircutter at Eldorado, talk about word of mouth business, nothing beat that place!
