The problems of loving a bald man

[smeddley]

Those hair club commercials really chap my hide. Implying that men who are balding are not attractive, with lines like 'he looks so good now!' and the underlying meaning 'he looked like crap before!' Because bald men are unattractive, right? The hair totally makes the man. You're nothing without a full head of hair.

I feel sorry for Dewayne Johnson (The Rock), Vin Diesel, and Patrick Stewart. Poor guys must never get girls, having shaved/bald heads. Life must be hard. (Speaking of, does anyone want to go with my to Vin Diesel's latest movie, coming out soon?)

But anyway, I like the bald look, but this weekend I found a downside to it.

If you run out of shampoo, you can't run into his bathroom and borrow some.

I swore I had more in the cabinet, but I didn't, and Mr. Smeddley hasn't used any in years. What was I to do? Well, there is one other 'person' in the house that has a full, luxurious coat of hair...

...that's right, I used the dog's shampoo.

This is not as bad as it sounds. I didn't spend the weekend with a flea&tick free head - well, I did, actually, but not because of the shampoo - since we mostly use Johnson's Baby Shampoo on her. I did, however, spend a few days smelling like freshly washed dog (in my mind - I'm sure most everyone else would have thought I smelled like freshly washed kid, but it's one of those smell association things).

All is better now, we've made a treck to the story and I have a bottle of shampoo of my own now, which will make me smell all purple. :)

I am almost obsessed with those hair commercials. I think Ted is cute the way he is now, but a friend told me he looked good with hair too, and now I wonder what he would look like if he had hair, and I look at guys with hair and imagine what they'd look like balding as well. It makes a difference. (this wasn't helped when a co-worker saw the picture of me and ted on my desk and said, "Oh, is that your dad?" I haven't told Ted that, for obvious reasons, heh.)

I should write a post called 'The problems of loving a man with prettier hair than yours'. Colum has disgustingly beautiful, thick, curly hair (although he is going prematurely gray in dramatic white streaks).

However, he doesn't seem fond of being told how pretty his hair is, and thus he too shaves it most of the time. And then wears a hat. *sigh*

Anyway, I like the smell of baby shampoo.

I used to use Mane & Tail conditioner for years- our Target even stocked it in the regular shampoo area. It really was the best conditioner for detangling long hair!

I happen to like how many men without hair look. Patrick Stewart, for instance, is still way hot, despite his age. I also like Vin Diesal and some of the others as well. <3

I like bald men.
A man with good hair means he takes care of it - usually obsessing over it.

Screw that.

LOLOLOLOL! You are freaking hilarious! And great at problem-solving.

Bald men are just... SEX-aaaaay.

I fell in love with Yul Brynner when I was about 13 years old. Is that bald enough for you?
