Ok, so maybe I am dating myself but back in the day, Yul Brenner stood out because he was totally bald. He preceded the early head shavers but stood out because he was one of the few who could pull it off. He made a statement and had the right head shape to look dignified and "cool".
So where am I going with this?
Well, it struck me the other day that there are just too many shaved heads in the world today. I mean, honestly, just because it's a trend doesn't mean every follicly challenged guy should jump on the bandwagon. And if you look closely alot of them aren't even bald. They just shave their head. Maybe it's easy for me to say because I have a full head of hair but I know I have a lumpy potato head underneath and I don't try to cover up the gray either.
Let's face it: Michael, (Jordan that is) who started the trend has style and Sir Charles (yep, Barkley) has a flare but honestly, Mike, the shuttle driver does not look "hot". He looks like a pool stick balancing a cue ball and Chuck, the accountant heading down the elevator to the workout room does not look "edgy". He looks like one of the coneheads from the old Saturday Night Live skits. Sorry guys, time for some of you to grow some stubble, check into the hairclub for men or maybe invest in a nice new chapeau?
And I promise I won't succumb to using Just For Men...
