Famous Bald People
Say the phrase “the bald and the beautiful' out loud. You might be thinking there something that is just not right with that word combination; it simply does not have the same ring to it now does it! Well, you could be partially right. However, I have news for you; hair loss is not the end of the world. If you doubted that those two words can exist within the same statement, well guess again. Hair loss is not the ‘end of my social life' that many of us have grown to believe. There are worse things that can happen to a man which I will not go into the details of here.
Bottom line though is hair loss is not only not necessarily negative, but it has also been quite the advantage in certain circumstances. If you had not heard of the studies that showed women were actually attracted to bald men, well now you know it! Now before you take that shaver and get rid of the last remaining hair strand on your head all in an effort to orchestrate a balding coup and join the ‘winning team', consider this; many men in history have not been too impressed with their balding heads.
That explains why nowadays the proliferation of ‘instant' and often ineffective hair growth creams is at epidemic levels; and it is not just the ordinary person in the street like you and I that is dealing with this. On the contrary, throughout history up to present day, men across the socio-economic spectrum have battled with hair loss (now there is that ring we were looking!) with somewhat mixed results.
Take Julius Caesar for instance. When it comes to discussion on great empires and rulers of old, his place is assured. But have you heard of the bald over technique? Well, Emperor Julius made this technique into an art form. In an effort to hide his fast receding hairline, he would ‘comb over' (hence the name) his existing hair in such a way that would cover the bald part of his head. As ridiculous as that might sound, Julius Caesar is indeed in good company. Enter Donald Trump.
That's right, the eccentric owner of the massive real estate empire with a no-holds barred love for the green back and the key character behind the hit television series ‘The Apprentice' is a disciple of Julius Caesar; at least as far as the bald over technique is concerned. To make matters worse, some cheeky members of the fourth estate have even gone as far as claiming that what we see is not his real hair but a wig. I mean, can you believe the nerve? I mean of the journalists that is, not Donald Trump.
But even with these ‘traitors' to the cause of the ‘bald' nation, there are famous people that have taken the similarity between ‘bald' and ‘bold' to a whole new level. For basketball freaks, Michael Jordan comes to mind. This is one person that would actually scare you if you ever saw him with hair. He made bald become hip. Sean Connery, once voted the sexiest man alive, is another case in point. You can truly be bold, sorry, bald and beautiful; that is of course if you do not mind remaining so.
