Oh dear heavens, I'm watching Steel Magnolias-- peplums, pastels, big hair, and bows (ass and hair) galore. It's like a smorgasbord of every bad southern 80s fashion tragedy.

Sean, your bald head is super-darling! Now I need to put you, the StuntHusband, and Pete in a row.

I've been getting more or less unanimous positive feedback. I seem to have the proper shaped skull to pull it off.

Plus it'll help me shave my face a little more often, and break out of my usual pattern of letting the face scruff grow until I can't stand the itching (and look like a homeless person). I've already done a couple of touch ups on the head, since it only takes a couple of days before there's enough stubble to warrant it, and I'm keeping the look for a while. And if I'm going to be standing there every day or two with a razor in my hand and a bunch of shave cream all over my head, I may as well scrape the chin whiskers too.

My hypothetical future boyfriend will need to have a European sensibility regarding female body hair, I'm afraid.

The Boy shaves his legs more than I shave mine. Trufax.

Also, I liked to keep it trimmed or shaved.... *down* *there*.

Alabama? t /innocent look

I seem to have the proper shaped skull to pull it off.

I was once waiting for a bus late at night, and there were several young punks/pseudo-goths of varying genders nearby. One young woman had a shaved head, and she had a perfectly shaped skull. I was gazing at her, and she nudged one of the guys and sneered at me. "What are you staring it, huh?" she said, all tough. "You have a beautiful skull," I told her. She went even paler and scurried away, and the rest of the punks watched me nervously.

I guess having a normal-looking middle-aged woman speaking thoughtfully and admiringly of your skull is disconcerting to some.

I shaved my head a couple of times as my hair was falling out, and I can't imagine doing it on a regular basis. It's hard. My head did end up being more shapely than I imagined.

I may have gotten a little slovenly in the shaving department since it seems so unlikely that anyone but a medical professional will see me naked, and I've lost any need to impress medical professionals.

Alabama?

So help me, I am now thinking of kudzu.

Ahahahahahaha!!!!!

My work here is done.

If he's found a way to get rid of kudzu, his fortune is made.
