muss

Linda McMahon, the former pro wrestling executive who served as director of the Small Business Administration under Trump, told of a meeting where one of his grandchildren climbed onto his lap and mussed his hair.

The young man’s muscles are rippling, his hair artfully mussed, his gaze troubled but beguiling.

Like the hypnotically minimalist drama that contains Friedel’s restrained performance, the Höss we meet is immaculately presented, his hair never mussed, his manner often serene.

He’s so in love with the shoes that he’s reluctant to do anything in them, sitting out a pickup game for fear they’ll get mussed.

The uncharacteristically mussed hair and the pained, anxiety-ridden grimace were long gone.
