gone!, originally uploaded by tsarina_amanda.

Today Mike helped me shave my head. Well, he really did most of the work. I stood there and folded my ears down. It was weird watching big chunks of my hair come off while we stood on the porch. (It was also mildly distressing to notice how lank and full of dandruff it was just from not washing it for 36 hours.) It wasn't a bad experience, except for the top of my head. It was weird and sensitive and felt creepy. Not exactly painful but uncomfortable.

Everything feels funny on it. Water, the air, shampoo - it is very sensitive. I wasn't exactly expecting that. Aside from feeling like a big peeled potato, I am pleased. I rather like it. This could make summer so much more bearable. It's like the air became ten degrees cooler without my hair. (I have obtained a couple light cotton scarves to help keep from sunburning my scalp when I'm out and about.)

I like it.

Sunscreen, unless you want to be a peeled potato :D That part of you hasn't seen daylight in YEARS.

awesome - that's something I always wanted to try and never had the guts to. You seem to carry it off quite well - brings lots of emphasis to your eyes.

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

So I was randomly looking for hair dye (green? blue? purple? Which should I do this summer?) when I came across some fantastic wigs of bright colors and insane styles.

You must find yourself a wig store and take many fabulous pictures!

It looks great on you! You've got a good head shape for wearing that look.

I vote for purple. PURPLE!

Man, I really want to go try on some wigs now.

Hee! This is the first time I've seen your face. Being bald is brave, and in this heat, I bet it's liberating. :)

Yes, this. Fabrics, especially lightweight fabrics that haven't been treated with fancypants UV protection, will still let in enough that you could get a burn.

You have a good skull! Your eyebrows and eyes and glasses are all much more noticeable now, which is a bit unexpected, since you didn't have one of those emo "hide me" haircuts to begin with.

It looks good! Just don't leave the house without sunscreen/scarf.

Haha! Ooops, here is my big shaved head! I was deeply worried I would end up being slightly weird looking like Billy Corgan, but it seems okay.

Thanks! My fears about having a weird head are somewhat assuaged by the positive response.

I will definitely sunscreen my head up - thanks for the warning.

I found my second pair of glasses, which I think will look more awesome than my other plastic frames.

I really like these glasses!

I can't deny that I was so worried that it would look awful or I would be too mortified. I am quite pleasantly surprised it came out so well.

Thank heavens - I was so worried it would be weird looking and I would have to send Mike out for wigs.

Yay! Happy head shaving day! It's like air conditioning for the head. I can't believe we don't all shave our heads once summer arrives here.

Remember, gay Rikers will ask you if you have cancer. :P

I remember that sensitive thing too; not to be too crass, but I always thought of that as 'the uncircumcised head effect'.

I cannot wait to see that gorgeous head in person.

HAHAHAH. I wonder if I should start a betting pool with Mike on how long it will take one of the neighbors to ask if I have cancer. :P

Thank you! I was so relieved to discover it was normal and not secretly covered in demonic tattoos or anything, hahahah.

Thank you! IT's so weird. I am terrified my head will stick to things like velcro but man it makes ummer cooler.
