Shaving towards Bethlehem
Author: will | Filed under: Dublin, blogging, costume, personal information, photo
Another shot from the ToeJam meetup. I love the contrast between the stand-keeper and the customers.
I suppose I spotted the shaved heads since I’ve been shaving mine for a while. The first time was a shock.
The reason was a bigger shock.
What the hirsute don’t realise is that the slow loss of hair isn’t always that obvious. I was busy tending to my locks, and combing them over, not realising that the thickness wasn’t there. Just one day with wet hair, comb in place in front of the mirror, arranging the strands when it hit me. I had the dreaded comb-over (patent pending).
After work it was a quick trip to the barber for a head shave, and its been getting shorter ever since. The funny thing is, I do have hair on the top of my head, so if I let it grow out a little, it looks more like my hairstyle is a lifestyle choice rather than nature presenting me with fewer than preferred options.
And since nature did it, I have a lot of hats. Warm ones for cold days, and light sunburn-preventing ones for hot days.
And I might go down the wig route, but only if I can have a different one every day.
Well, it fun, isn’t it?
take care,

What colour wig would you choose?

Well I’ll need a black, as it goes with everything.
I might try out a grey streaked ponytail (for my biker look).
I will have to try out a blond and red to see what the reaction is.
I’d try out a dark red loose rigged afro just to try out the movement, I know it likely fall off thought.
Given that the area is all shaved, a stick on bright green or bright red Mohawk is always a possibility.
And I’d try out creams for the toupee tape marks
