Baldiness.com Question: Have You Had Your Head Professionally Shaved?

I’ve got a question for you: Have you ever gone to a barber and had your head shaved? Or are you a do-it-yourself person? Personally, I’ve only ever gone with a close buzz-cut. I don’t have the diligence to keep up with the clean-shaven look. But the current heat wave here in the midwest has […]

Monday Morning Warm Fuzzy: Fire Chief Shaves Head

Topeka Deputy Fire Chief Dave Sterbenz shaved his head after members of Firefighters Local 83 raised $1,600 for the Arthritis Foundation. This surpassed Sterbenz original challenge of $500. By my calculation that would work out to about $1 per hair on my head.
The local news station has a short Quicktime video clip of the actual […]

Zidane Snapped Because He’s Bald?

The Sun is reporting that Zidane may have snapped because he’s sensitive about his baldness. The article, which explores other possibilities, attributes this notion to an unnamed French official.
Highly dubious no matter how self-conscious Zizou may be. Personally, I take a measure of pride when I’m on the pitch and the other team is yelling, […]

Zidane’s Mom Means Business

This just keep getting better! How can I NOT share this? The Daily Record has a quote from Malika Zidane, who has stepped up to defend her son’s honor:
“I am utterly disgusted by what I have heard. I praise my son for defending his family’s honour. No one should be subjected to such foul insults […]

Profits and Pharmaceuticals

Perspective. So much in life hangs on perspective. So many troubles rise out of a skewed perspective. Every now and again, I feel compelled to issue a reminder: Baldness, no matter it’s cause or it extent, is not the end of the world.

UK Bald Men: Beware the E-Doc!

Time for a brief health care alert. Apparently there is a loophole in UK law that allows doctors to “consult” with patients online and even issue a prescription. As you might expect, there’s some suspicion about the practice. Bald men aren’t alone. The obese and impotent are also being targeted. Makes sense that “Lifestyle” drugs […]

Why, Zizou? Why?

Bald Man of the Week, Zinedine Zidane was rightfully shown a red card in last night’s World Cup final. I will forever want to know what was said that moved him to stop in his tracks, turn around and commit his crime. I suspect there are only two people in the world who know, and […]

Gail Porter Wants to Adopt

What better way to follow up a naked wedding than with an adoption? Apparently that’s what Ms. Porter would like to do in the future. “I’d like to foster or adopt. My daughter’s amazing and I want to make the most of my family.” She seems to have come by this conclusion while filming a […]
