The Great Hair Debate: Results!
There seemed to be a rather even 50/50 split between those who think I look shite with short cropped hair and those who think longer hair makes me look like a foptastic Chinese Hugh Grant.
Thus to appease neither party, I’ve shaved all* my hair off.
You may think it looks doubleplus craptastic with a twirling backflip into boyband shitdom, but in the 30C+ heat of the Tokyo summer, it’s proving to be less ‘fro-prone than my previous waxed-n-twiddled ‘do. With this haircut I can get out of bed and head straight to the office in about 10 mins. Less if I choose to not wear any clothes and take my morning dump as I walk, letting the stools fall where they may.
*oh and I mean all.

User “kcp” - a mysterious, phantom relic from the past who no doubt has walls festooned with cut-outs of my face fashioned into glory-holes, remarked in the comments below how these photos bear a striking resemblance to a photoshop mockup I did of myself FIVE years ago on a pre-blogging-era version of the yongfook blogsitepage. Only took me five years to go through with it. I’ve dug up the pictures for you all to bask in their shoddily-photoshopped glory.
REMEMER - FIVE YEARS AGO.
Boy got SKILLZ with da ’shop.
That’s awesome! You’re now as sexy as ever! I’ll have to enter the ’shaved’ territory sooner or later as my hair is thinning rather quickly these days…
The heat in KL is just as unbearable. I’m tempted to do the same!
eddie > thanks. by the way I went to Toyosu Lalaport today and had the chicken rice. I was HORRIFIED. Really bad. They used Japanese rice, the chicken was dry and of dubious quality…I could go on. I heartily recommend you visit Hainan Jeefan in Ebisu (if you haven’t already). The trip wasn’t totally wasted though - there is a quaint little Kaya Toast place there too, and they sell jars of it. Picked up a big jar to keep me going for the next few weeks :)
I think you look like the hot guy from Prison Break..
You need to lose those wispy asian whiskers, perhaps stick your head out of the window and they’ll blow off.
And who cares about those sexy arms when you got that huge THROBBING COCK NYOM NYOM OH NYOM
And who cares bout the arms when you got that huge THROBBING COCK NYOM NYOM NYOM hrrsspt NYOM NYOM NYOM

good choice
You remind me of a Zen Buddhist Monk.
I both died a little bit inside and swallowed a bit of my own sick after posting that.
hair: acceptable. Nothing exciting, but those summers can drive anyone insane. eyebrows: getting better. But for goodness sake, Shave Your Neck. Bless your genetics for not giving you chin pubes, thus allowing you to get stubbly without looking sleazy; but neck stubble always makes me think of child molesters and shut-ins. Bleh.
and you, as a yongfook.com reader think I am neither of those things?
weird.
pervy and vain, perhaps, but not quite a child molester or shut-in. And I’ve been reading/lurking for years.
I think your more attractive with longer hair!
“Mikimotomo says: I think your more attractive with longer hair!”
Agree
please fuck me now
looks good but you wussed out - you need to use a #1 for better results.Very hot do in the States (or straight edge for a really clean look. very attractive and MUCH better than that long, spikey thing you used to wear.
love the hair cut.
and looking damn fine with it.
somewhat mixed response in those last 4 comments…
Dear yongfook.com I’m writing about a little problem I’m stressing over. I’ve been a reader of your website for years now and I absolutely love the writing. It’s fresh, it’s biting, it’s entertaining and cool. I think it’s great. But therein lies the crux of my problem. I recently had to move in with my parents. I use my mom’s computer to surf the internet and look at many sites including yongfook.com. My problem is that I’m worried that someday my mother is going to click on a link to your website and see photos of an androgynous looking Asian man plastered all over the place and get the impression that I’m a flaming homosexual. What I want to know is how can I continue to get my yongfook.com fix without breaking my mother’s heart?
Cheers,
All Fooked Up
Remove from bookmarks, empty trash, take off in a spaceship and nuke your house from orbit.
It’s the only way to be sure.
You soooo could have done a podcast for this… bring back podcasts.
you know what would make this site a whole lot more exciting…. a podcast.
monk!
what, a podcast of 10 minutes of hair clipper buzzing sounds?
Yeah - you look better with longer hair - period.
See, I told you
“Short is sexy. Bald is sexier.”
The second thing I noticed about that picture is that you weren’t wearing the pin-striped jacket….
