Well, our friend The Village idiot decided, because he is such a nice guy, to lend support to his Girlfriend Erin who is undergoing chemotherapy, to shave himself bald.
So behold, the photos of TVI before, during and after The Balding. Please feel free to congratulate him on his niceness, or mock him. At your liesure.
And you see that Freak in the background with a red shirt? That is Frigidmagi. And the reflection in the mirror, is me with the camera.

Mayabird:You see what this place does to us? It's like how Eskimos have their 16 names for snow. We have to precisely define what shafting we're receiving.

You have to look in the mirror behind him in a couple of the photos. You can see my reflection as I take the shot.

Hunh, I honestly associated Frigid with his avatar. It's one of those cases where the person transcends the image. Same thing happened with CC and his old Dooku av.
Way to go, VI. That's classy, and it looks good on you to boot.
Yea you already know how I reacted to it.. so there's no need for me to go all squeeky and girl like again...
and it does work for you

now keep up the new look, grab some shaing cream and triple blade razors and do it yourself in the shower....

I did it again just before work....shave gel, triple blade(flex blades) and a shower.....although this time I managed to get a nick . But truth be told I didnt know I nicked myself till I got out and looked in the mirror....the soap didnt even hurt.

Yeah, heh, that's the good thing about nicking yourself while shaving your head, you have no fucking nerves there, just padding on your scalp.
It is a much cooler hairstyle for the hot areas, Hell, I kept myself pretty much bald all of last year, and most of this year ( I flirted with having hair again for about two weeks in June....).
Only problem is the constant upkeep needed for it, have to reshave every few days.

My problem is that my hair grow so quickly that I need to visit the barber every three days to keep it consistently bald.

So be it. If saying "NO" means being alone, then to hell with love, with romance, with marriage, and all the shit life keeps pumping at me. I'll walk alone, but with freedom and a healed pride.

Thats why you have to do it yourself as we have said above. And I have to shave it every day to keep bald, I even get a 5 o'clock shadow on my head!

Hmm...I shaved my head back in the fall of '01, kept it for a month or two, then let it grow back. I have flirted with shaving it since then. I think I'll dye my hair red with Kool-aid, and depending on how that works out, shave it or not.
You look alot better with no hair -nods head and grins-
And don't feel so bad... I did it two years ago too...
only i lost 17inches in one fell swoop...
Congradulations dude, good luck with your girlfriend.
He is my soldier, the love of my life and one day I will be a proud army wife
If he should be called to duty I will wait for him standing tall, for he is my soldier, my hero, after all.
I clicked on this without seeing the author, and thought "That dude look's a lot like... NO! couldn't be!" Then I saw the the mark of Comrade Tortoise and knew it. I'm sorta sad I missed this auspiscious event.
I know how you feel, I shaved my head bald almost 2 years ago now.
And it felt really weird at first, but you'll enjoy it - I know I did...

We have since broken up, a very long and damn depressing story. I miss her a lot and I could say I could have loved her, but I digress...
As for her... After battles since described in old venting threads, the cancer has spread. Last I heard it was in the kidneys, liver, brain, and a few other random spots. She is currently somewhere back east at a cancer specialists hospital. I hope she does well, but It doesn't look good.
Thank you all again for the support and everything. But I am back to my old hair cut, and looking better myself. At least a lot better then in the pre-bald pics. And I have moved on, although have yet to find another date :sad: ... oh well, thanks again guys.
