Halle to the People
If at first you don't succeed, tribal, tribal again
I'm in Halle, Germany, which is in East Germany and was formerly Stasi-controlled. Halle is most famous for its production of salt and notably was home of the Baroque composer George Frederich Handel. This East German town still has a crushed feeling to it. Abandoned buildings, a dark aura, and mostly conservative fashion; workmen's one-piece uniforms abound. It feels pretty much like any small town USA, such as Allentown, PA. Do you get the picture?
The things that stand out are the hairdos. The women are really into big hair, and I mean big, like early-1990s hair. Teased and sprayed high on top in a mullet-like shape, but with super light to super dark contrast dye jobs, whether it's a white blond/black combo, or a sandy blond/dark brown combo, or dark maroon/blue-black combo. They also are very into a pink or purple/raspberry bang with the rest of the hair a dark or light shade of brown, black, or blond. The bangs are very severe, one straight flap of hair over the forehead.
No one with these somewhat jovial hairdos ever smiles. Well, at least, not at me. The other fabulous thing with some of the women here is they look like retired porn stars. Take this past Saturday afternoon: a woman over 60, very painted, hair bleached white blond with bangs, chin-length bob, huge pointy breasts, sporting a low-cut, skin-tight black top with shoulder cut-outs (bra straps showing), tan pants, and red strappy heels. Love it!
