Recently, Mr. Jaunty walked into our bedroom and asked “Should I buzz my head?”
ANSWER: Yes, always. It’s like asking me “Wanna eat a cake single-handedly?” or “Care to nit-pick lyrics for the next three hours?” So obvious. I’ve given up my buzz cut, but keep an electric razor for just such occasions.
I didn’t take any action shots – my hands were busy wielding the razor- but here’s most of Mr. Jaunty’s hair:
And here’s the resulting look:
Not too shabby, eh? We’re a moving testament to the power of good genes and – in my case – makeup. The hours I spend primping are now offset by Mr. Jaunty’s wash-and-go haircut. Go team!
Wow, what a gorgeous couple! Millie and I keep threatening to buzz our heads. Maybe one of these days…

Nice work! Did you really have a buzz cut previously?

Katie – Buzz cuts are dicey on most of us, but definitely an exciting change of pace.
Angela – You betcha! I’ll track down some photos for you, stay tuned. =)

I love my “elf ears,” as I lovingly call them, but without a pile of hair as a backdrop, they might be a bit much. I just love how gorgeous everyone’s face looks with a buzz.

You DO have neat ears, and I understand your point.

I just sent this photo to an elderly gentleman who was inquiring about you! (If he refers to your bright red hair, you’ll know he got you guys confused with the other couple I just sent him a picture of …)
You guys look great!

Nice work you minimalist beautician!

ak – Thanks for passing it on! I just sent it to Bianca. Would you please send me a picture of that redhead? Since leaving Facebook, I’m out of the photo-loop.
Stitchywitchy – It was nothing, really. Hard to screw up a buzz cut, though I did manage it once…

Aww, shucks.

Very nice! He wears it well. I’ve had the odd buzzcut here and there but they never look nearly this nice.

Hey! This is actually Winter, but James is signed in, so I’m being lazy and using his!
I love this picture, you both look fantastic and are a beautiful couple! I look forward to meeting Monsieur Jaunty someday!

Monkey – He does wear it well. I remember an accidental buzz from your past… cousin Michael informed me that Uncle Dick saw you walk into church that Sunday and whispered, “Visine: Gets the Red Out”. Little family hilarity, there.
Sun WuKong Hi, Winter! You always flatter me up one side and down the other. =)
