ONE. ONE. ZERO.
Seriously.
I awoke on yesterday morn thinking I'd been somehow transported to the surface of Mercury. Surely it couldn't be this warm in a St. Louis June...
but it was and the air conditioner installers called in sick.
Drastic times call for drastic measures, or so I though. So I made a bold move, grabbed the clippers, and proceeded to shave off all my dang hair - every bit of it.
It felt glorious.
Now, with the benefit of hindsight and a properly cooled home, I've come to regret my hasty decision.
See, bald heads look good on brawny men with bulging muscles and tree-trunk necks. This I am not. I'm more like the proverbial 98 pound weakling (or rather today's version, the 150 pound weakling) in those Atlas advertisements.

So I look like I've got some sort of wasting disease, but my house is a chilly 80 degrees and right now that's all that matters.
A broken a/c is crazy-making. I always feel a little homicidal when mine is on the fritz, so I suppose the upside is that you only shaved your hair off. I had a home perm disaster when I was in college, and I cut my hair 1 inch long all over. I became really creative with head scarves. My suggestion is to stock up on cool hats to wear till fall. Head scarves might not work for you. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Nick. Yeah, get ya a cool vintage hat or three at one of the estate sales this weekend! No one will be none the wiser!
DeleteA/C is in and blowin cold! I'm glad to be out of the heat, but I still might take you up on those cool vintage hats. Gotta protect my poor bald head from sunburn.
DeleteFinally, an issue that I am passionate about. I have looked for information of this caliber for the last several hours. Your site is greatly appreciated.
