Solidarity

threecollie (or Marianne Friers) rather reluctantly posted a picture of herself the other day. I can understand that - my mother hated to have her picture taken. I hate it now, because there aren't many pictures of her. Oh, well.

I thought I'd post a couple of less than flattering pics of moi in solidarity with 3C - just for grins.


I've got a huge melon of a head - we're looking at 7 7/8ths for a hat size - as a rule. The ol' forehead has gotten longer over the years - the hairline has traveled up the forehead to the top of the ol' skull.


However, in my younger days I was assured by a couple hairdresser friends that I'd never go bald. Heh. Guess they were wrong! Mostly it's a pain if I don't wear a cap outdoors - my poor scalp gets toasted. I can assure you that never happened when I looked like this:


 

That would be 1983 or so. Yep, I wuz partying dude back then! I've always had a baby face and people have underestimated how old I am for years until the hair that isn't migrating started to go gray.

I've never minded how I look. I've always thought I had sort of generic looks - people are continually thinking I'm a brother of someone they know. A big brother, that is!

7-7/8ths?!? Are you cereal? Big dome. Big dome foah-shoah.

The balding thing, well, jest fahgetahboutit. Getting older=getting wiser.

Now, back in 83 or so it looks like you might be hiding a doob in that forest of hair. But who am I to judge?

ps: stoned?

Cool!

Well, seeing your face, not your loss of hair. I guess I wouldn't mind losing some hair. My widow's peak gets deeper every year too, but if I am not inside, I have a hat on. And besides, I have gotten past almost all of my vanity's. :-)

Thanks Jeffro, it is good to have company in these photographic endeavors. Earl has a picture of his hair too today...only guys care you know. I tell my husband every time I cut his hair, that as the "hole" in his hair gets bigger, my least favorite job gets smaller. You look just fine

You have a bulbous head too! Ha!


You were clearly one badass sonsabitch with all that hair and attitude.

Snork! I had the unblinking cold eyes of a rattler, eh?
