Hey gang,

I'm sure we all remember how coldly evil Barnabas was during the time that he was under the control of the Leviathans (the so-called "bad" Barnabas of Dark Shadows).  Yes, Barnabas seemed to take great delight in tormenting the doomed Paul Stoddard with repeated talk of Mr. Stoddard's most "prized possession" (which turned out to be his nubile, young daughter, Carolyn)

Well, I wonder what the recently late, unlamented Bruno Hess' most "prized possession" would have been?

Perhaps Bruno might have said that his music was his most prized possesion.  Of course, "Ode to Angelique" might be the most prized composition of this most self-absorbed, "one-hit-wonder." Then again, the Steinway & Sons piano, on which Bruno created his paean to Angelique might have been his most prized possession.

Others might argue that Bruno's extensive and elaborate wardrobe was his most prized possession.  And, let's not forget Bruno's voluminous collection of chains, rings and bracelets, a veritable cornucopia of tawdry silver and gold, enough, I daresay, to make even Little Richard jealous.

Yet, I have to believe that Bruno's most "prized possession" was something much more personal to an individual of Bruno Hess' unrelenting narcissism.  Yes, I'm referring, of course,  to Bruno's own head!  Just think of that pearly-white killer smile, that sharp, but impressive aquiline nose, and topped off by that piece de resistance, Bruno's magnificient head of lustrous hair!

No doubt, Bruno had a demand in his last will and testament that his mumified head be displayed in its rightful place,  immediately next to the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo, so that countless, successive generations could marvel at and appreciate the timeless, esthetic beauty of his Caesar-like cranium.

Bruno certainly had a gravity defying pompadour.
