breaking the suit

do think orange is a bit more versatile tho

orange for me needs to be a pretty soft orange, it can't be harsh

one color i have never been able to wear is red

Need my hair cut soon. Feels like it's growing back at a rate of knots. No idea what to go for. Kind of jealous of youse who buzz cut all over as I've been wondering what I'd look like, but I worry it won't suit me. I liked the rockabilly-ish quiff I got a while ago but it was really hard to maintain and grew-out really quickly.

you should give hereditary baldness a go - since i chose it i've never been happier

it would definitely subdue the tyranny of choice.

being able to cut your own hair is definitely convenient

i used to suck at it but you guys inspired me to do a quick buzz and trim on the sides just now and it looks good

agreed re: skin tone and citrus colors. i only *ever* wear lime green if i am supremely tan.

lol all these buzz cuts

i am in that moment right now when my stomach is just a pit of anxiety whenever i see someone with the curls i had before i buzzed, fuuuuuuuuck that, so regretful right now but i am happy you dig yours surm!

ya i dont really like mine, i used to do it all the time but its been a while

yea i used to too, since i am trying to move away from the buzz cut though it feels like i stepped into the 2013 me

feel like its making me look old since all bald men buzz their hair these days

maybe ill tell ppl i did it in solidarity with my bald friends

last itime i buzzed my hair was prob around y2k

are you guys still like going into great clips every six months and wringing hands about whether they will do a passable job

i go to the neighborhood barber shop except theres one guy i try to avoid and i thought he wasnt there but then he popped out gesturing toward his chair and i cldnt say no because i feel bad for him

i go every ~month

do tell us of yr mastery of the hair gaem tho lol

mh no, the woman who came over is a pretty accomplished stylist afaik, she does hair and makeup for photoshoots and does a marvelous job with my wife's hair and my son's hair (and cutting a autistic toddler's hair when he is squirming like crazy and have it come out looking fabulous is pretty serious craft) and she did a good job with mine, i'm just a nervous control freak and i wasn't used to the change so i impulsively buzzed it

I have no mastery, I just do the same thing all the time every day, it's my life

but the thing that bothers me is that buzzing it is somehow ~not~ a huge change!

that seems bigger than having some hair you are kind of so-so on for a little bit until you need a trim

I am Samson and my inner self will die if you completely remove my locks

but the thing that bothers me is that buzzing it is somehow ~not~ a huge change!

you are very wise

I guess that you could see it as a neutral state, if you spent any time in your life w/your hair buzzed

yea that was kind of my thinking, also since i've always buzzed my hair it's always just been one length all around, even if don't cut it for months it grows in at the same length, i think what weirded me out about the cut she gave me was the taper and having it longer on top, when you have puffy curly hair it made my face look super long. even though i knew intellectually that she gave me a good haircut it was just weird to have this taper, i wasn't used to it

yeah those things that change the shape of yr face can really f w yr mind for a couples days it always freaks me out if ive had a big beard for a while and take it off, just need to give yr internal self image a min to adjust

yes definitely

when i've grown a huge beard and then shave it i think my face shrunk for a few days, like i have no chin or something

exactly

freaked out at the first signs of my hair thinning so i grew it and i have long ass hippie hair now. it's pretty cool. need to get a lil trim cause its sprouting out in weird directions though

marcos, I've felt that way about glasses when I've bought some with a different shape. decided I liked them, got them and had second thoughts, but once I got past the self-reflection and friends saying "oh, new glasses" all I got was new acquaintances complimenting them so it must be a-ok

imo once you get past your own self-criticism and the questioning looks of people who are resistant to change, the real consensus opinion rolls around. it can take a while.

u cant really trust ppls compliments tho they r liars

lol

i think too that after any cut i need to say "i am sticking with this for 2 weeks and if i still hate then i can cut it again" because pretty much after 2 weeks i am liking any haircut

tbrr if you're married just do what your wife says

lol i could do anything w/ my hair and she'd be like "i cant even tell the difference"

friends usually just compliment change anyway.

ppl see something and they want to comment is how i break it down

I have friends who weren't into some changes, some people will voice that and then get used to it

certain yellows look atrocious on me, very unfortunate

my inner circle tend to be very honest with style takes, which i appreciate and try to reciprocate

u think theyre being honest but really theyre just bulling u

why are your friends so mean, flopson

i have 1 1/2 pieces of yellow clothing, consider them essential

yellow rain slicker

and a light yellow and light blue tattersall shirt (can't find a picture)

lately i've been looking at this

nah, more often than not i get compliments but i know they'll always be there to tell me that my shorts are too small or hair too wild

actually i can wear yellow but it has to be bordered by something dark, like a jacket or something

i have a yellow bad brains t-shirt that i never wear for this reason

i wore yellow chuck taylor hi tops from like third grade to sixth grade

feel like ppl being all i cant wear this color or that color is mostly imaginary
