So I shaved my head.
I'd like to say this is the first time.
Or even the third. But honesty would yank my chain and gag me on my own spiked collar, so I'll admit this is not a new trend.
But you have to admit a change is as good as a holiday!
(Why do people say that? I mean a holiday is nothing but a change in one form or another, and not everyone enjoys their holidays, esp those that get stuck next to screaming kids who only keep quiet to be carsick *I was that kid*)
But anyway...
I feel that winter is the best time to shave your head. In summer the weather is too hot and makes wearing fashionable beanies a no go, even light hats make your head hot and then you take the hat off and it's baked brains for breakfast!
Winter you get to wear all the wooly headgear you can managed! (Though generally not at the same time, but that's a general guide and not a set rule...)
The only thing not peachy keen about a shaved head is that folk tend to see it as:-
1. "Oh you've just had chemo, you poor thing" < - - rarest and they do seem a tad disappointed when you tell them no, like your health is rather offensive - go stand over there!
2. "Oh hey you look like Sinaed o Conner!" < - - said regardless of whether you do look like her or like a pigs bum, cause hey, your hair is short!
3. "What did you throw a Britney Speares?" < - - hell no, I was shaving my head before she knew which way up a liquor bottle trickles!
4. "Are you a punk or something?" < - - most common. Sometimes I get satanist for variation, depends who's accosting me at the time.
Ironically enough no one has ever said, "Are you like gay or something?" or any less savory version of this. However will I complete my set of inane observations?
Oh and I do have hair, about 2cm worth! I did try bald once but it was scratchy and sweaty and not my cuppa!
Want me to chop a little off the top for you?
BZZZZZZZZZZZZ........
