COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - A local brunette woman refused to touch Steve’s naturally curly hair at a social gathering of friends yesterday.

Carolyn Miller, who invited Garufi to join with her friends Brooke and Charity, enjoyed a fun Sunday afternoon of bowling and shooting pool.

However, as they were playing at the Old Chicago’s billiard hall, a casual discussion about hairstyles quickly evolved into a heated quarrel that compared straight and curly hairstyles.

“I just pointed out that our side (Carolyn and Steve) had long, naturally curly hair and they both had straight hair. And I wanted to know if they were jealous or had any issues with that.” said Steve.

After his teammate Miller happily touched and stroked Steve’s hair, the taunts escalated and reached a pinnacle when Steve stuck his dark locks in the face of Brooke, a 23-year-old brunette and college student.

“Carolyn was happy to touch my hair. We’re real close from taking Journey together..(but) I just thought Brooke would want to touch it as well.”

With Steve’s full head in front of her, the brunette exhibited a visibly disturbed face and folded her arms. Eyewitnesses say she lifted an arm over Steve’s head, but only momentarily, apparently as a mocking gesture.

Asked why she refused to touch Steve’s hair, Brooke refused to comment.

“In the end, she (the brunette) missed out. My hair is really soft and nice to touch. Finally it's getting long where I’m out of the hideous afro stage.” Steve replied, who along with Miller defeated their friends 4-3 in a best of seven series of eight ball.

Julie Taylor, a local critic of SteveGarufi.com had unfavorable remarks over the incident. “You throw up in front of a girl. You have a relationship with a tennis ball and who cares about your hair? You just met her that day and you ask her to touch your hair? What is up with you?”
