Drive-by weave

Alert Reader Lottie was super excited to share this North County weave with GYLYW. She and her sister spotted it on Redman Avenue between Old Halls Ferry Road and Highway 367 in North St. Louis County. Holler!

North County, represent!

Many sorries for the sporadic nature of my updates lately, but lost weaves don't pay the bills, you know what I'm sayin'? I've got a ton of reader submissions, plus a ton of my own sightings to get posted, so let's begin.

Alert Reader Jamie shared with us photos of three weave sightings she had on a walk from Dellwood, Mo., to her home in Florissant, Mo. I'm not well versed in North County geography, but Google says that's roughly a 1 1/2-hour walk.

Exhibit A: Hereford Avenue and Nancy Place in Florissant, Mo.

Exhibit B: Florissant Road and Interstate 270 in Florissant, Mo.

Exhibit C: Florissant Road and Frost Avenue in Florissant, Mo.

Thanks for sharing, Jamie!

Girl, you lost all your hair

Unless you're a drag queen who's schlepping around a whole mess of wigs, how do you manage to lose a whole head of hair?

Some mysteries will never be solved, I suppose.

Here's a little something from Alert Reader Tyson, spotted for a few days near Shaw Boulevard and Thurman Avenue.

No glove. No love.

Enough about weaves for a second.

If you love our site, you'll love our new favorite thing on the Internet: Unrequited Gloves. It's a project by our friend Emilee, who's been collecting photos of rogue gloves at rock bottom for quite a while. The blog is new, but it's off to a great start. Who knew gloves had such drama?

Well done, Emilee. Girl, you lost your glove!

The key to downtown's weaves?

I've long suspected that the proximity of a wig store and an African braiding salon was fueling downtown's rogue-hair surplus. Perhaps clients are losing hair on their way in or out of these establishments. Or maybe their garbage bins aren't securely sealed.

Here — finally! — are pictures taken right outside the braiding place on Tucker.

Drive-by Kmart weave

Alert reader Rex shares this weave, spotted in the parking lot at Kmart in North St. Louis County. Thanks!
