And then there were two! We're down to the wire with only two men left standing - the preacher vs. the vampire who ate preachers for dinner. Makes you wonder how Angel got the blood out of that porn 'stache, doesn't it? No? Just me, then. Anywho, it's been a mad March and if you're just tuning in, we've been having our very own Hairpocalypse where the baddest or just plain bad hairstyles have been battling it out for the title of "Hairstyle Most Likely to Cause the Apocalypse".
To recap last round, say goodbye to William the Blood Awful Poet because Shepard Book's super fro took him down. Meanwhile, the almighty 'stache lives to see another day while Cordy's Shag is left out in the cold.
This round will have 1 match and will end Sunday night at 11:59 PM EST.

Wow, this tournament (and month) is really flying by! If you're just joining us now, all month long hairdos from our favorite Whedonverse characters have been battling against one another for the title of "Most Hairpocalyptic." Now, here we are at the eight most bombastic, stupendous, apocalypse-worthy hairstyles of the Whedonverse, otherwise known as, The Elite Eight.
But before we get to that, let's recap the results from the Sweet Sixteen Round 2:
Angelus's 'stache and amazing long hair have been kicking ass all tourney long, so it's no surprise that he took down Giles' burnout 'do from "Band Candy".
Angel's wig takes another one down! This time, Buffy's caveman dreads from "Beer Bad" went into the audience to watch the rest of the games. Amazingly, it looks like it's going to be Angel vs. Angel in the Elite Eight round.
Cordy's teased out shag took the most votes of the entire round, beating River's "wet look" twists.
And finally Willow the White beat Buffy's S.1 bouffant at the last minute, having trailed behind all weekend long. Let's see if the witch has the power to out-shag Cordy. Get it? Get it? ugh.
This round will have 4 matches and will end Tuesday night at 11:59 PM EST.

I know I'm supposed to start off this post with a little something like this: "And the fun continues as we move closer to figuring out who in the Whedonverse will be hailed this year's March Madness 'Hairpocalypse' winner," but I just can't ignore my disappointment in the fact that Buffy's teeny tiny bangs will be seen no longer. That's right, Oz's many stylings beat out the teeniest and tiniest of bangs in the 'verse. I'm sad, people, I'm sad and I'm not alone, either. Check out what one twitter follower so eloquently said:
"I definitely voted for Bangs! It was just too much! or too little..." - @TammyYIP
Thanks Tammy and thanks to all for listening to my rant. Now, here are the full results from Sweet Sixteen Round 1:
As you already know, the teeny, tiny bangs are no more as Oz takes the round. Willliam the Bloody Awful Poet's hair beat out the 70's stylings of Anya, Shepard Book's hair kept Crazy Spike from leaving the basement, and the mighty Illyria took out the First Slayer for good.
This round will have 4 matches and will end Sunday night at 11:59 PM EST.

Another round ends, and another begins. Ah, the cycle of life. It's also the time for the Sweet Sixteen. Is that Molly Ringwald? No. No, it isn't. I don't even know what I'm saying now. Why would Molly Ringwald be in my apartment?
Results from last round!
- Cordy's shag made Dark Willow shag ass (someone link to some slash of that pairing, please)
- River left Buffy's braids "all wet" (get it?)
- Willow the White made Buffy's wig gone (get it? part two)
- Buffy's Bouffant let Captain Hammer know what pain feels like (making this get it? the trilogy)
Moving on! Some tough decisions to make. Here we go:

This year we were inspired us to examine the crazy hair stylings of the Whedonverse, so we've dubbed this March Madness "The Hairpocalypse". In this tournament so far, some of the best and worst Whedonverse hair has battled against each other. We're voting here for hair that's so memorably bombastic, it could start the apocalypse itself.
Recapping last round: - Angelus's astounding 'stache from "Amends" took down Sunday's mini-Bjork knots with a vengeance - Gile's burnout hair (which was drugged by Band Candy) took out Kendra's "Jenny from the Block" 'do - Another one of Angel's bad wigs kicked Cordy's Bad Bangs' ass (they weren't that bad, looking back.) - And tragedy struck! When the worst Whedonverse hair of all, Cordy's infamous blond crop somehow lost to Buffy's caveman chic from "Beer Bad". RIP Cordy's tragic Blond, you coulda been a contenda.
Here we are at the end of Round 1! This round will have 4 matches and will end Tuesday night at 11:59 PM EST. After that Round 2 will immediately begin.

The fun continues here at Buffyfest with our annual March Madness! This year we decided to go with the crazy hair stylings of the Whedonverse in our "Hairpocalypse".
The tournament is already underway, so let's recap last round: Shepard Book's Mad Scientist look took out Darla's powdered wig by a whopping 75%, while Spike's "Crazy in the Basement" hair beat out Buffy's cute flapper wig. In the slayer vs. slayer match, the First Slayer schooled Nicki Wood and finally, Illyria laid a beat down on Buffy's Noble Woman's Wig. Round 1, Region 3 will have 4 matches and will end Sunday night at 11:59 PM EST. After that Round 1d will immediately begin.

The first part of round one went off without a hitch. It also went off without a hatchet. A hatchet. Please to be enjoying my Buffy Jones Soda in jokes. Let's recap what's happened so far.
- Oz's skull of many hues made minced meat apocalyptic pie out of the gang from Dollhouse's Epitaph episodes.
- Buffy's Bad Ass Bangs banged Duskhu's less-erotic-than-it-was-intended-to-be dominatrix ponytail thingie.
- Buffy's cute Season 6 Bob only just barely escaped the Burning Bed that is Anya's Farrah hair.
- William he Bloody Awful Poet and his bloody awful hair trounced Connor's even awfuller Tro-Clon mess.
But we can't stop there. Oh, no. So much... memorable... hair still to go. This time it's a trip to Jayne's Bunk where, somehow, everybody (and their luscious locks) manage to squeeze in. Who will win? Your arbitrary mood swings (in America we call them "votes") decide!

Oh yeah, it's that time of year again! The time that everyone here at Buffyfest waits for because if it's March, Spring's not only just around the corner but it's also time for March Madness! Our ideas were getting stale, 'best character', 'worst character'...we needed something fresh, something tough and maybe a even a little silly and it's that type of MADNESS that brought us to the decision of "The Hairpocalypse".
Let's face it, there has been a lot of straight-up of bad style in the Whedonverse (and we can blame some of that on the 90's), but there has been some cool too. In this tournament, Buffy's bad bangs will battle Echo's dominatrix 'do. The post apocalytpic styling of "Epitaphs 1 & 2" will face off against Oz's many fabulous hair colors. So it doesn't matter what you're going for here: Wackiest, Worst, Wildest, Scariest, Funniest, whatever - let's just call this tourney it "Most Memorable" Hair of the Whedonverse. The type of hair that's so nuts, it could start the apocalypse.
The tournament starts now! Round 1, Region 1 will have 4 matches and will end Tuesday night at 11:59 PM EST. After that Round 1b will immediately begin.
