That was what my wife said to me after she returned from a trip out of the country for her grandmothers funeral. She came back to find me with a bald head. I still left about 1/4" worth of carpet, but was very short compared to what it was when she left. That was almost two years ago. Ever since that day I told her that I would eventually go completely bald. She always fussed every-time I took it down another 1/16 of an inch.
As mentioned in my introduction, I changed the 1/4" blade on my trusty old Wahl clipper to the balding blade and went to town on my dome yesterday. After I got out of the shower, my wife just gave me a glance... but did not say anything. After about an hour she came into the office (where I happened to be lurking in an SBG forum) and proceeded to run her hands through my bald dome. I knew I'd win her over!!!!
I think the baldness grew on her (no pun intended) :*)) ;D :*))

Welcome to the "Sly Side"! O:O

Hahaha man, that's some crazy comments. I guess it's just people from a different era don't understand!

It could be that... but, I did get the looking like a gang-banger line a lot when I first did it a couple years ago from other people. We have a phrase in Southern Cali that goes: "driving while bald". It does not happen as often as it did 10 years ago but every now and then cops will pull-over people for looking like a "gang-banger" or "fitting the profile".
Being bald has become so popular that I rarely hear the "driving while bald" phrase anymore. I feel that it is a matter of how you carry yourself that counts, and presenting yourself like a sly debonair fellow will take you's a long way. We are now getting a different phrase started... "damn, that is one sexy mo-foken bald dude"...... my response, thank---- thank you very much!!! 8) 8) 8) 8) O0

Hey brother... I know Whittier fairly well, my cousins lived off of Washington and Sorenson Ave. Don't remember any gangs in that area back then (early to mid 80's). I actually looked forward to going to their house because I lived in South-Central L.A. most of my life and went to Whittier to get away from the "vato locos".
Growing up in South-Central was no pic-nic. At the time, my follicle garden was full, curly and long, but it never distracted the "cholo's" from f#@king with me. Around 1995, I tried straightening my Sheerly Temple curls for a photo shoot (long story) and proceeded to burn the sh*t out of it. My hair was never the same. I sported the Caesar (comb forward look) for years, but after I started to develop (what I call my hairless yarmulke look) and the thinning got worse, I decided to start buzzing it down from a #1 clip, to clip-less, to high and low setting (blade only) and now the straight bald blade.
One day this week I will drive over to Headblade headquarters (I work less than a mile from there.... how cool is that??) and purchase a few things. By Friday I hope to be a TRUE sly dome.
Yeah that Weevil dude sure has a nice dome!! Thanks for reading and have a great Monday!!

Thanks for the support Robmeister... as I said to BaldAndre, I hope to be a true "Sly" by Friday. I'm driving over to Headblade headquarters to pick-up some Headslick to get the job done right. Still kinda' stringing my wife along... I want the final transition to be flawless and less of a shock to her.

Hey my So Cal bald bro..
Ha...I lived on Washington AVE (not street)...you know where the infamous "Jack's" diner (not "Jack's salad bowl") was on Whittier blvd...
our house(s) we're 1/2 a street away!!!
Yea...bro, just west of Greenleaf was full of cholos...but Whittier is a cool place because somehow there is a harmony of all folks living there...maybe because both existed there for a very long time...
my wife grew up in south central...just off the 5/ 710 interchange...
we know that area...Maywood (didn't like hanging out on the street too much with my other bald hispanic bro drinkin' brews for more than a couple hours...cuz you never know who would "drive-by"!
Bro...wait till you're slick..you'll truly feel "pelon"!!!! O0 O0 O0

-------- What a small world... maybe you knew some of the Dominguez brothers---- Michael, Luis, Jesse, Oscar and Carlos. Three of them are also Sly domes. I haven't seen them in awhile.
I actually lived south of the 10 fwy. and west of the 110 fwy. Blocks from USC and a few miles from where the riots started back in '92. The area has cleaned itself up and now even the pelones don't look too much like "cholos". They are dressing much more casual and no longer wear the 500 waist size and the XXXXXXXXXL to the fifth power white t-shirts. :*))
I have lived in Santa Monica for the past 8 years (near the beach... I love it). Every now-and-then I see a few dome heads that look suspicious, but nothing like what it was growing up in the hood during the 80's. Now, instead of mad-dogging each other we usually do the "zup" node. Suggesting we belong to the same team.... thee sly dome team.

Yea...I hear ya on the "nod" versus the staredown...I mean come on So cal. has to be one of the baldhead capitals...lots down there..
I think the hardcore vatos seperate themselves from the other pelons by tats on the head...
scary look in itself...no thanks!
I may have know your bro's...but you know how you meet dudes and forget names, ect at partys..
but heck they must be cool if they're sportin' the slick, sly bald domes! O0
Now, just go make yourself on of the "sly" cool ones already now and drag that headblade across that skull! ;)
