My beloved's hair cut



It's a really weird thing. You've known this man for years and suddenly he's not the same. I should explain here that he had A LOT of hair cut off. We are talking feet not inches here. But I find it fascinating that I now perceive him so differently. What has, after all, changed? So he cut off a lot of hair and shaved his beard - he's not exactly had plastic surgery. And yet, he's not the same. He really isn't. He definitely looks a lot younger (not so good for me, being the older partner) and he really does look very, dare I say it, trendy. He would not look out of place in a fashionable and modern bar and maybe that is the problem, because he certainly would have done before. BHC (Before Hair Cut) he was, how can I put this...very individual. VERY individual. As one of his dear friends commented, a cross between Christ and Ozzie Osbourne. He doesn't look like that now. Now he resembles a character in Lost. Sawyer to be precise. I mean, I can hardly complain about that, can I? Yes, I must be mad. He's not so attractive as he was - the overall dark and well defined features are softened with the lighter beard and hair and this is a man who does dark VERY WELL. So perhaps that's it. I preferred him dark. Good. Sorted. Just got to wait a few more days for the beard to grow and perhaps I'll recognise again the gorgeous son of Satan I fell in love with.

Thanks. I am getting used to it. But I'd love him to bits even if he cut the lot off! I'll tell him he has some support from the web - he'll be pleased!
