ok, even leaving the word "fashion" out (even thow the baldness horror has unfortunately become fashion) it comes down to: men with roundish, well nourished facial features uglify themselves by 1000% by shaving off their hair, I think..... if that's the intention behind it thow, then one can say: it works

ROBERT SHAVED HIS HEAD AFTER WISH AND IT'S A MIRACLE NO PICTURES LEAKED...
AND AT THE TIME PEOPLE USED TO SEE HIM AT FOOTBALL MATCHES

I THINK HE DOESNT HAVE TO SHAVE HIS HEAD, BUT I WOULD LOVE SOMETHING LIKE IN ORANGE HAIRCUT...
THAT WAS A GREAT HAIRCUT!

surely. and who cares if he even sees us?

Anyway, for Robert and everyone else reading this, here are two clips from an old interview (posted before on this forum?): Robert talks very briefly about his make-up and hair at the end, in the second part, just in case someone hasn't seen it. He talks about more important things in life as well, sure.. Don't know where it's from, but it was filmed/broadcast in 1991, apparently. Not the best quality. Japanese subtitles. Thought it was fun:

Robert to shave his head!?

Actually this could be good news... I remember hearing or reading an interview where he said that Mary thought that he always became more agressive when he had his hair cut short. So this could mean he finally gets inspired to write the ultimate f*****-up record, the album to out-"pornographise" "Pornography"!

We must always look at the bright side of things... err, I mean, dark side, of course.

It could be from Never Enough, the biography, couldn't it? Not sure. I found the quote a while back on the net, but there was no source mentioned...

"Mary has been the great influence in my life, the rock that stays strong when I lose my head. She noticed, for example that I become aggressive and unfriendly when I cut my hair. So I make it long."

Well, curiously enough I'm reading that biography now but I'm still in the "Faith" period, so if that reference indeed appears there I still haven´t got there... Actually it is something I read or heard a long time ago, maybe from the Disintegration or Wish period? I can´t recall, really.

Hey, I found a quote among the notes I made while reading Never Enough:

"I will most certainly not be wearing black and lipstick in 2011. That's a guarantee."
(p. 298)

Sure Robert whatever you say...

KingOfSomeIsland · May 24, 2008, 08:17:25

Y'know hes a musician, we dont have to look at him, hell even if yr at a concert you could just look at Porl, or Simon, or Jason haha.

MintQR · May 24, 2008, 18:08:10

on the other hand you can be 48 and still look really hot

as far as I'm concerned I think Simon's much hotter now than he used to be ....

I believe no one's started a thread about this around here, so here we go: wish-man posted a link to a radio interview with Robert that was broadcasted on the 13th of May:

http://tinyurl.com/5s4mpk

At one point in the interview, Robert says...

"I definitely will actually, this year, I'm a 100% I'm gonna shave my head again, and when I do that I'll probably stop wearing make-up..."

...does this scare anyone else? I mean, is he gonna look...normal, now? *shudders*

He does add "I don't know, you never know" shortly aftewards, so he may not be a 100% about losing the make-up, at least, and it's not like he hasn't changed his mind about certain things before, but oh well. Maybe the old look's time has finally come. It has done a lot of good to this world. I miss it already.

Say it aint so.

plancton · June 08, 2008, 16:27:33

shave his head AGAIN? now when was he ever bald... ok, I am no longer worried then. "shaving" his head means cutting his hair. cool. I like that idea. cos that birdsnest on his head has seen better days.

I wonder if Porl inspired him to consider shaving his head.
