Success - the man is fancy

I've been meaning to post this for a few days now. I saw a picture of myself from a Sunday afternoon trip to the park with some friends and thought "HEY! I CAN LOOK FANCY TOO!!!"

Fancy Nick: Not my glasses, but fancy none the less.

It's actually the first time in, well, ever that I've thought that about myself. I know that with my wedding photos (which you'll see if you read back a couple of days to one of Natalie's posts) I thought I looked pretty good. There was still this "but I'm fat!" in a sad way when I was seeing them for the first time.

Now, I feel like I can fat it up and look awesome in any situation. My wardrobe isn't that extensive at the moment, but I can work on that. Mmmm, spending up big at Kingsize Big and Tall. What I would like is more variety and for fat man clothes to not cost an arm and a leg. Just an arm or a leg would be sufficient.

However I think I know who one of my icons of fancy is. Penn Jillette. I'm way shorter than Penn is though so the look wouldn't work for me, but he comes out time and time again looking awesome even with a casual look.Penn Jillette - fancy!

I think part of it is just the metric butt load of confidence that this man exudes. In fact it is almost pouring out of his skin, his face, his clothes and the awesome goatee. He has a bit more hair though. Which moves me right into my next train of thought. Love a good segue.

I'm balding and I'm proud to be balding. I don't want some advanced hair regrowth formula because I wouldn't look like me any more. I haven't had a full head of hair in years. So I'm starting to wonder whether what to do with it. Do I shave it all off again, and keep a beard? Can you be a bald shaven beard wearer and look fancy?

Don't get me wrong. I think bald men are fancy. I do sometimes wish I had more hair, but only so I could grow into a silver fox when I get older. Could a silver beard with a bald head work? Perhaps I could just leave a small amount of hair to try and make sense of the beard. Or perhaps just a simple Penn Jillette style goatee.

Nah, I'll stay with what I've got for now thanks. I'm pretty darn fancy as it is.
