OK, here's the thing.  I have nothing against hair, really.  Hair is 
*fine.*  But bald is *different* and not easy to pull off.  It's a 
statement, see?

Actually, I'm having trouble coming up with something that makes as 
much of a statement on a woman.  Something that is risky, different, 
and that your average JoAnne can't pull off.

No, no, no!  You guys just aren't there yet.  Patrick Stewart isn't 
the exception.  But I will grant you that you have to be careful.  
All Bald Men Are Not Created Equal.  

See, there's the cadaver look.  These are the guys who look OK 
despite the lack of hair.  They're usually older.  I'd put John 
Malkovich in this category.

There's the skin-head version.  Ugh.

There's the linebacker or wrestler version, which always comes with 
a very thick neck.

And there's the *sensuous* version.  Guys who would Otherwise Be 
Ordinary.  Let's see.  Patrick Stuart.  Samuel L. Jackson.  Sean 
Connery.  Bruce Willis.

Cindy -- who is not about to shave her head, even though Joy would 
probably like to see it
