I keep my hair short, with a part and a nice cowlick. For clothes, whatever looks nice, fits and is really, really cheap (so I can spend more money on music, of course ).

I am very curious.I can understand a bald head,but why would you have all your body hair removed?

I'm not answering for them, but one nice point of being bald is that hairless skin feels very nice to touch.  I'm a very hairy person, lot's of shaving activity going on at my apartment. As for clothes, I wear classical styled costumes.

several laser treatments. they had to be repeated a few times because there is always some dormant hair. only the eyelashes we simply plucked until they did not regrow anymore

I meen, eyelashes are neccesery to prevent durt from coming in to you'r eyes right? OH my god, no hair! I myself have long curley brown hair. having no eyelashes is really only a problem on a sandy beach on a windy day, and one can always wear shades then. Friede and I are high priestesses of a pagan religion; the absolute hairlessness is a symbol of purity. call us nuts; you wouldn't be the first one . we love it

You're nuts....cuckoo/cuckoo.....freaks!

How's that for strarters?

OUCH!! That sounds friken painful but it only adds to my admiration...you and your wife are WAY cool!

Me= My name is Imogen and I look like your average brown-haired blue-eyed nineteen-year-old except for a few glitches: I'm annoyingly short (1.45m tall. approx) and I have fustratingly large breasts (much to the annoying appreciation of some of the men who pass me in the street.) My facial features are quite plain- eyes pretty, nose slightly pointed and a bit of an acne prob... and there's a permanent tiny red dot on the tip of my nose that's been there since I was 12. I SUX I tell you! I have dimples, I can wiggle my nose and ears and I have been descibed as "Cuteness itself" by one of the actors I've worked with.

I like to wear black clothes and dark make-up 'gothic-style' but usually I just dress casually (like I am now: light flare-out jeans with a purple top and kahi-green cardigan.)  And now that it's spring- I've taken to wearing jasmine flowers in my hair as there's a jasmine bush on our fence and it looks and smells gorgeous so I can't resist.

actually it wasn't; we had feared so too, but if you use automatic tweezers you hardly feel it at all.
and since guys probably don't know what automatic tweezers are:

 Prog fans are not so homogenous group, no? I think it's go(o)d!

I tried out for the talent show once doing that.

Ii have hair on the longer side of what would be considered short if you get my meaning. I go to a catholic school that makes me keep it short but i push the limits as much as i can. I usually wear jeans or khaki shorts and band(usually jamband) t-shirts and i always go barefoot or wear sandals, I guess kind of a hippie look  (im into jambands alot)

I've been told I look like a young Elton John (before the queen of england thing).  Though recently my friends said I look like will Ferrel's impression of Janet Reno (owwww....).

I dress pretty normally polo shirts and nice clothes, but I only want to look respectable. I don't flip up my collar or anything.  One time I did and I felt like kicking my own ass.

I'm the one prog fan hanging out with a bunch of evil ska/punk kids.  And they like the insanity of Gentle Giant. 

Recently though, I've been hanging out with this one girl and her friends... They're pretty pop/punk oriented though, so I don't let many people listen to my CDs.  One time me and the girl swapped cds.  I got Green Day. She got Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh... and that's why I'm still only a friend

Seriously, I'm just a comedian kind of guy, but an angry one.  No goatee, but glasses and thick hair.  I can't grow the shag like some of my friends.  I look bad with a moustache.

I'm an enigma...

• A pair of scruffy boots.
• A pair of black/brown trousers (with a crease, obviously).
• A coloured/patterned shirt (never just white) with a tie that may or may not compliment it, but is usually interesting at least, and more often than not rather old and slackly tied.
• A jacket that makes some effort to compliment the trousers, but doesn't always manage it.
• Long dark hair, probably in need of reducing to shoulder length again.
• A ridiculous face marred by copious freckles, a bulbous nose and an overzealous eyebrow (two, if I've been bothered to preen).
• A bowler hat in a state of disrepair (crack around the rim, now-detatchable ring, tatty ribbon, etc.
• Nothing else. I stop at this point. Anything above my hat I cannot claim responsibility for.

An inspiring person is one who tends to surprise you time and time again. Your looks are not what I expected you to be at all Trouserpress!! (To be honest I expected a short-haired casual-dressing man. Think Hallenstiens.)

I'm 6'11,full head of hair on one head and a baldy pate on the other.

I am a Warlock and some-time Demi-God.

Once a week,BaldF and BaldJ get to depilate me all down one side, after they have worshipped and honored me, of course.Then I watch as they worship and honour each other.................

Or not as the case may be..

Okay, I am 16 year old, 5'8", 150 pounds. I have long hair, to about the middle of my back (a bit less).

I'm always wearing jeans, all awfully ripped off everywhere, the same shoes I wear since 4 years completly ripped from everywhere (even from under) I'm struggling to repair every day, and couple bands shirt (Tangerine Dream, Porcupine Tree, and other). I ALWAYS have my walkman with headphones. I am asked almost every day if I got any drugs to sell, so you can imagine...

Sometime, girls make me some huge girly hair arrangement they'd so for themsleve, which make me look rather... weird. I also love to wear hats like that, I'm not sure how you call them in english:

That's pretty much about it...

I guess if we're going to get to specifics...

• 5'11'' tall
• 144 lbs.
• Short hair, parted
• Tennis shoes with paint splattered on them
• A good pair of jeans or wool pants
• a cheap shirt

I seriously look exactly like this guy, an ukranian bassist called Miroslav Vitous.

about me you've pictures in the rogues gallery

I've been told that I look like Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) - not very prog, and to be honest I'd rather be mistaken for Brad Pitt. Anyway, if I ever get a photo of myself uploaded I'll post it here so you can judge for yourselves.

Borealis wrote: ^ What's your avatar anyway, Syzygy?

My avatar is the English comedian Harry Enfield in his incarnation as one of The Scousers, his wickedly funny and accurate parody of the stereotypical Liverpudlian. Some UK based members of the forum picked up on my Liverpool origins, so it seemed appropriate.

I realise that for those members of the forum who live outside the UK, this is all a bit meaningless, so a brief explanation is in order.

Residents of the city of Liverpool are known formally as Liverpudlians, but less formally as Scousers, the name coming from the traditional meat stew known as Scouse. Those UK residents unfortunate enough to be born outside Liverpool believe that the inhabitants are:

• Obsessed with football - largely true, but hardly unique in the UK
• Are all thieves - untrue, Liverpool actually has low crime rates compared to many other UK cities, except for car theft which is unfortunately one of our main industries.
• Mostly unemployed - sadly true for the last couple of decades, Liverpool was very badly hit by the 80s recession and still hasn't fully recovered.
• Are militantly left wing - not entirely true, but the spirit of socialism still burns brighter on Merseyside than in many other parts of the UK, and what's wrong with that?
• Are prone to being either sentimental or violent when drunk, sometimes simultaneously - unlike the rest of the UK, which is a well known haven of temperance
• Likely to sport a dodgy perm, droopy moustache and a cheap shell suit (see my avatar) - such people do exist, and I'm even related to some of them
• Are likely to  move down to London and constantly harp on about how wonderful their native city is, how much friendlier the people are, how many talented sportsmen/musicians/comedians come from there, how it is generally massively superior to the rest of the known universe, all this despite having no real intention of moving back there - true in my case

There is also a general perception that Liverpudlians are a self pitying bunch who can't take a joke. The Scousers disproves that - it was, and remains, massively popular on Merseyside, and when the show was at its most popular a city centre joke shop (The Ace Place) sold thousands of 'Scouser Kits' to Liverpool and Everton supporters, who would all pull on a curly wig and paste a stupid moustache to their upper lip when going to an away game.

believe me, you hardly feel automatic tweezers. they certainly don't hurt. men are real sissies

 ...difficult for me to take seriously the music and the imaginary of the band

surely it is! an evident exemple is the following one: EROC on his album "Zwei" makes pueril, comic recitations despite that the music is really emotional, sometimes grave. However when I speak about krautrock I refer to the music and the way it sounds.

however it's right, I don't understand "German"

"I think ther's too much joy, humor, lightness in Gong's music for your taste"

^ yes, sure!!

the two first Popol Vuh are absolutely not light and luminous but really austere and esoteric. scary, creepy Moog sounds and tribal percussions..."tantric songs" is also mysterious and sometimes dark. Ho no...not now Olivier, don't say that Gong have something to do with mysticism and esoterism (re-listen "D" and "Aum" by Deuter and you will see the difference).

you perfectly know that I won't give up and tell you that I like Gong

Every taste is in the nature, isn't it?
