Now Bald and Proud!
« on: September 06, 2007, 07:52:26 AM »
Hi guys,

Ive been bald for a week.
Thought I would introduce myself. Names Glen and I needed a haircut. I was about to go to the hair dresser but I didn't quite make it.  :)

I all of a sudden wondered what I would look like bald. So I grabbed the clippers and went to number 4 first.  Then Number 1. THEN 0.

I looked at it and thought, ahh what the hey.  Got my razor, lathered up and went to town hehe.

The result was a whiteness I had never before seen which thew me for a little while.  I kept getting up and looking in the mirror all night.

Next day I went to work with my baseball cap on. (i usually wear it to work)  People started say I had had a hair cut and I replied by saying "you could say that" and flashing the whiteness hehe.
Next day no cap.

Lots of shocked looks and questioning about why. To that my response was I wanted a change.  Pretty much everyone has been positive after the intitial shock.

Of course I have had my fair share of ribbing including Cancer patient, that I looked like any bald celeb they could think of etc. The trick was to joke along with them and it all settled down by day 3 mostly.

Anyway I am really enjoying being bald and I think I will be a lifelong convert :)

Cheers to all my fellow chrome domes   O0

Glen

PS I love the way avatar pic streatches when you load a page. It makes me look like a conehead :)

Great job Glenn, that is the way to go sly, all at once.  Glad to have you on board.  Ask up with any questions about maintaining the sly lifestyle.  Plenty of help and experience here.
