On Heads

My dad has a joke he likes to tell. “God only made so many perfect heads. To all the rest he gave hair.”

Pictures of Brit-Brit’s new foliclely-challenged scalp convince me, at least by my dad’s joke, that God did not give her a perfect head. Yikes, take those images from my mind!

Some women look fantastic with a shaved head. Sigourney Weaver. Natalie Portman. Definitely not Brit-Brit.

If there’s any comfort to her, it’ll grow back. And it’ll take a while. And hopefully she’ll have time to… reconsider the rashness of her decision.
