Nike in LA and the hairy issue


Okay;
This is Brandon Walsh, who once acted on 'Beverly Hills, 90210'. Yes, he has a beard, which Dlisted called 'a pubic forest'.
I admit I personally am not into facial hair, but that was because I had Mr. Seeley. He was the drafting and automechanics instructor at my HS, and I had him for drafting. He had a full beard, and most days, as class was after lunch, you could sort of tell what he had to eat because bits would still be caught in his beard....
But, if you are well-kept, it shouldn't be a problem, right? In this picture, I can't tell, because Brandon could've just combed the front hairs to straighten out over what could be a huge mess in back.

In the profession of ballroom dancing, the guys in the Latin/and Rhythm competitions frequently(okay, it's practically a uniform) wear shirts that are open in the front, sometimes to the waist. Most of the guys remove their chest hair for this, but I tell you...there is a local pro out here who has masses of rust-red hair. The last competition I saw him in, he had a thick rug of it on his chest, and the only things I could think of every time I looked at him were chiggers and lice. You know, those microscopic critters that live in hair.
And, while I'm at it, an anecdote for you all: I live at Hayes and Fillmore in San Francisco. Every May, the Bay to Breakers race has a huge number of people running naked in it. No, not all, but too many to count. Well, a lot of those naked people have enough body hair to cover the 'naughty bits', if you know what I mean. Now read my last paragraph again and think about it. Doesn't a body deserve hair care, too?

What is the point of all this? Just commentary. No point at all. But it makes you think.
