In the distant days of yore, when Queen Victoria sat firmly on the throne and Great Britain truly ruled the waves, Sutherland Macdonald, lately returned from serving in the British Army, raised the shutters on his newly opened Tattoo parlour situated above a Turkish Bath House in London’s St James’s. Inked body art had long been celebrated in cultured circles from Japan to the Middle East. 

I am delighted to have collaborated with the esteemed Harnaam Kaur, The Bearded Dame, in concocting a delectable and rejuvenating Hair Elixir. Harnaam first came to my attention after viewing her on my televisual device, after which myself and Brock Elbank invited her to be part of #Project60. She has polycystic ovary syndrome, which is a hormonal disorder that, can cause hair growth.
