Tech Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Thanks for you criticism Tech. The hair is just tied back most of the time. When I tie it back it's kept very neat. The hair down thing doesn't work well for me hence the hat. Thanks for letting me bounce alternate looks around. I am completely open to criticism, lord I dish it out alot. I like my ponytail better anyway. Thanks again. I'm not critisizing you, per-say, just the pony-tail, its really out-dated by a long-shot, and wreaks havoc with the overall look in a "not so good" way...

Foxyheels Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Looks like a trip to the salon is in order. Thanks again. Suggestions? Anyone? Neve Ben a fan of a pony tail on a man, just not right in my mind. Personally I'd get rid of And concentrate ona stylish statement hat to compliment an outfit. High heels are the shoes I choose to put on, respect my choice as I repect yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacchi Alti Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Looks like a trip to the salon is in order. Thanks again. Suggestions? Anyone? How about a crew cut to complement the suede boots?

Shafted Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Crew cuts don't work so well on me due to my head shape. Sure would be low maintenance. Hair has always been an issue with me. I tried many cuts and none of them have suited me. I've found short cuts (longer than a crew cut) very tough to tame. I have these wings around my ears that just won't go away. For me the long hair has been much more manageable. I don't care for it down, but the ponytail has been low mantenance. I think what I need is a style for longer hair, but I do wonder how long I will be able to maintain it. If it only was as easy as clothes or shoes. Shafted, the boots that is!

Shafted Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Why not shave it all off and have a bold bald head? Had thought about it. Have to say no for the same reason as the crew cut, head shape. Until I figure out what I want I'll try to figure out something other than the ponytail Shafted, the boots that is!

Tech Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Short and tidy would be just fine, doesnt have to be something "amazing!" Just something that doesnt scream 1980's... Look at your hair from the front, now make it do that all the way round and it would be better..

Tacchi Alti Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I have these wings around my ears that just won't go away. I wondered what it was just under the halo in your avatar. Now, how about a few nice wigs? You could coordinate them for colour with your shoes. I'll wait for the pink. 'Come, and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.'

Thighbootguy Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I've been wearing a pony tail for over 15 years. It's easy to manage, and one snip with scissors saves a trip to the barber shop and the expense of said trip. Tech and Steve63130 suggest the look is a bit old style well… check the age field (<---), but what of mine that is left looks good in a pony tail. Hair is like heels in public (only harder to hide). Go with what you are comfortable with, be it none to waist length (natural or not), and the rainbow is the limit on color. Again, as with heels, why should the gals have all the options and fun? As with heels and alternate dressing styles, a mirror is always a good tester. I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

As with heels and alternate dressing styles, a mirror is always a good tester. I grew out all this hair. I should be able to get just about any style I want. Just stuck in the ponytail thing for a moment. I have liked the ponytail for it's ease of wearing, but quite frankly it's kind of boring for me. I'm not rushing out to get it cut just yet. But I'm listening to what everyone thinks. In the meantime I'm trying to find something I like. Shafted, the boots that is!

Shafted Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Last night at the theatre we were showing "Puss In Boots". I have to admit I had a chuckle when Kitty Softpaws had stolen Puss' boots. Holding them up she said, "Isn't that an awful lot of heel for a guy?". The audience might have gotten a small chuckle as well, knowing me. It does make me wonder as she was very accepting of Puss despite his taste in footwear. Shafted, the boots that is!

First pair of kneehigh boots with the boot shafts custom tailered to my calf by my local cobbler/shoe repairer. Took this latest outfit out around town today. First I checked into my local cobbler as he is in the process of tailoring my Highest Heel Collection Dragon boots (have got plans for another outfit with these boots). Next it was off to the bank to get some cash. The usual no big deal. Headed off to KFC for lunch. Lots of people, lots of looks, lots of fun. I caught many people craning their necks for a look at my footwear. These aren't even my high ones. Shafted, the boots that is!

Shafted Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Today I went out to do some shopping. I wore my Levis EX-GF jeans with my Kimel List boots and the No Boundaries lion head jersey. My first stop was Lacasse Shoe Repair to check on the progress of another boot alteration. They weren't ready just yet and he told me they would be ready that afternoon. It was them off to McDonalds for a mushroom swiss angus burger, chicken McNuggets and a medium fries. Got a scowl from a group of horribly dressed, horribly overweight nasty looking women. Hmm, do detect jealousy. Strange, but I actually enjoyed that moment. Then it was off to Dollar Tree to pick up a box of dishwasher detergent. While I was there I noticed a rack of scarves. Grabbed one up for a buck. A nice practical accessory that you can be sure will be making an appearance in my gallery. I got a few interesting double takes. I hope they liked what they saw. Then I went next door to Label Shopper. I was looking for a nice warm oversize sweater but really didn't see anything that fit the bill. I did pick up a couple of belts. I checked out the ladies shoe section and did try on an awesome pair of over the calf purple boots. I a 9 I figured I at least try them on. While I was able to get into them, they were a little bit too snug for my liking in a boot so I had to pass. What a shame as they were only $20. Got a few looks there as well. After that I headed off to Hannaford's to pick up some grocery staples. 20 lbs. of unenriched, unbleached, unbromated bread flour, a bag of brown rice and a pound of coffee. A few looks there as well. I think that I have established a style for myself that catches peoples eyes but at the same time is not obtrusive. I'm willing to bet that if you mention men wearing high heels to someone I'm probably not the image they imagined. Shafted, the boots that is!

Shafted Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 I understand your response TBG especially with the no no smiley.
