an unexpected compliment

On Sunday, during the Dignity social hour, this guy came up to me and gave me the most glowing compliments on my hair: how beautiful and full it was, etc. Then he added that I was "at the cutting edge of fashion"
This last comment really surprised me and I asked him to explain. He said that on the west coast, the newest trend in male fashion is long hair. (news to me!).
Getting a compliment from one of the Chicago clones was the very last thing I expected!

Nice compliment, I must say!
I would like to add this:
Even though LONG HAIRed men is the newest trend in male fashion...
it will still take LOTS of pain, suffering & sacrifice to get into
that trend and so...
will probably always remain the *exception* to the norm.

If the only pain, suffering and sacrifice in my life is connected with my hair I'll have lead a very easy life :-)
Let's not take ourselves too seriously.

Well, at least a fashion will require something more than money....
God bless such a fashion which should spread ;)

Being on the west coast myself, I can pretty much vouch for that. It definitely is a trend. (Though I have always wanted long hair, and never realized how far the "trend" extended till I started growing.) And what a great compliment! Keep it on the cutting edge, kay?
Yes a trend...

I just got back from the grocery store where most of the local university students shop. "Long hair" is definitely making a trend with plenty of guys in various stages of awkward, wearing hats and bandanas. One fellow had a 1" (2.5cm) proto-tail that didn't include ANY of his bangs/fringe/frontal hairs. The trend is encouraging but I was even more encouraged when I realised that all of these "long haired" guys and a lot of the girls have hair that is SHORTER THAN MINE :). And that is cool.
(And now I'll go back to working on my website update - the one with my 12-month progress pictures).

An ironic choice of words.
