April 1 news flash
(Canscene) — This just in
News release from the Happy to be Bald Association (HTBBA)
April 1, 2009………. Andrew Spelato, president of the HTBBA today confirmed that Canadian Prime Minister wears a wig.
Spelato is the descendant of the famous Spelato wigmaking family of Culo di Cavallo, near Florence who have counted among their clientele Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, King George III of England and Sarah Bernhardt. Andrew Spelato migrated from Italy to Hollywood where he earned the sobriquet “Rugmaker to the Stars.” Himself bald like his ancestors, Spelato one day decided to make a wig for himself, but on donning the hairpiece the sight of himself in the mirror turned him away from his craft and into the manufacture of sunblock for bald heads. His auto-biography, Hollywood Uncovered, telling tales and naming names became a New York Times bestseller. he subsequently founded the HTBBA, which has some 380,000 members worldwide.
“For some years,” said Spelato, “I marvelled at the way Stephen Harper’s hair always had that same untouched look , like a sculpture and knew it was a wig but there was no way to prove what the Prime Minister’s Office was denying until one night last month, during a sudden security alarm at 26 Sussex Drive , the Prime Minister rose from his bed and dashed downstairs to learn from security guards that this was no more than a false alarm. One of the guards, an HTBBA member, happened to have his digital camera with him and managed to get this shot which I herewith attach. Now the world knows the truth.”
