All Man

Angelface is a man’s man. Case in point: his favorite beer is Bud Light, and his favorite pastimes include flying, golfing, washing the cars, and playing Xbox.

He is the yang to my yin, the salt to my sugar, the franz to my hans.

In short, he is all man.

That being said, I find it hilarious that Angel has recently veered away from his barbershop haircuts and is now getting his hair did at a place called “Bit of Charm”.

bit o charm

Admittedly, there is a reasonable explanation for Angel’s segue from the world of buzz cuts and straight razors to the world of styling, spraying, hair coloring and highlights. You see, Kristin, who cut his hair at Sports Clips, has left the Men Den to pursue business at her own place, said Bit of Charm salon.

Angelface really likes Kristin, and made it a point to bring me her business card. “Baby she does all sorts of things, like hair coloring and styling, all for a reasonable price!” Angel told me with great enthusiasm.

And I’m proud of him for having the cojones to get his hair cut at a salon. I really am. I think it’s never a good sign when part of your hair cut involves five minutes with a flowbee, which is standard practice at a barber shop.

I just think it’s really funny that this enthusiasm, this extreme excitement about a place called Bit of Charm is coming from a man who won’t wear a scarf in 10 degree weather because it’s “too girly.”

But I digress.

So help me out dear hannihaus readers. I’m curious, ladies, where does your man draw the line? What’s too girly? And dudes, we want to hear from you too.

    Ok…I confess….I watch Gilmore Girls..

  2. Except for the wimpy beer and car-washing fetish, your guy sounds like someone I could hang out with. At least until he started getting the girly cuts, then I’d have to kick his ass.

    Actually, I’ve been going to “salons” for a long time. Somewhere along the line it just started to make more sense to want to have my hair cut by a woman than by an old guy with a beer gut and sausage fingers. I’m not always an idiot, you know.

    As for me, I absolutely draw the line at pantyhose. I’ve found that garters and stockings are much more practical for an on the go professional type like myself.

    Rock On, Hanni!

    I sometimes allow my wrists to go limp.

  4. Amanda B. says:

    That is very, very cute. :D

  5. ScottyGee says:

    No manicures. Ever! No waxing. Ever! No white zinfindel under any circumstance.

  6. Erin says:

    My Dad likes musicals. But mostly “Paint Your Wagon” which has Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood in it. They are both badasses…. so maybe that has something to do with it.

  7. Fil says:

    Actually…I like musicals too….well…no, change that…musical theatre is my life.

  8. Hänni says:

    Fil – I know at least one other guy whose guilty pleasure is Gilmore girls. Erin I think you might know him too ;)

    Idiot – Okay, you’ve been going to the salons for awhile, but here’s what I need to know. Do you go for the full-on shampoo and style?

    Cody – me too.

    Amanda B – Awww shucks chica. Thanks.

    ScottyGee – Okay no waxing, but is plucking allowed? And I agree. White zinfandel is crap.

    Erin – OMG. When I think “paint your wagon”, I think of ScottyGee’s comment on my previous post about “painting the fence.” That’s DEF mainly. Go dad. Woo woo.

  9. Erin says:

    Hmm…I can barely get CK to get a hair cut. I sugested highlights the other day and I think his head almost exploded. He is anti-metro to the extreme, although I do manage to get him to use a little hair product once in awhile… Therefore there is definitely only one “girl” in our relationship.

  10. I’m secure enough in my masculinity to admit to having darkened the door of a “uni-sex” salon on ocassion. I too prefer to have an attractive woman running her fingers through my rapidly thinning hair, but I usually opt for the quickest/cheapest hair-cutting business in my immediate vicinity.

  11. Hänni says:

    Erin – a little bird told me CK really likes the Gilmore Girls… hate to break it to ya.

    MAT – lol @ rapidly thinning hair. I was just telling Erin (on her LJ blog) that baldness is associated with high amounts of testosterone. Thus, every time I look at a bald man (not saying *you* fit that description) I don’t think “hey, i can see my reflection in that thing.” Rather I think, “that must be entirely virile, a real stud!”

  12. Cody says:

    This thread from a different site is very similar to this thread. Some dude named Markus Barca even comments about some of his effeminate characteristics. Queer.

  13. Chris says:

    Not Gilmore Girls! Everwood! (as filmed in the great state of Utah)

    although I did just buy the 1st and 2nd season of Gilmore Girls from Target earlier this week….

  14. Cody says:

    Heh. I thought my comment was funny, but on second thought, if you don’t happen to know that Markus Barca is actually me, then you might misconstrue the self-deprecating comment.

    Sorry ’bout that.

  15. Hänni says:

    Cody – I know you’re Makus Barca, because frankly, I know everything. I like watching figure skating too, that’s nothing to be ashamed of. Now, if you told me you were a fan of vienese coffee or cafe au lait, well then, we might need to have a little chat.

    Chris (SORM/CK) – Okay my bad. You love Everwood. Yeah, that’s more manly than Gilmore Girls any day. *snicker snicker*

  16. Erin says:

    I did forget about CK’s proclivity for bad WB TV… really bad tv in general. Except for Firefly. He was right about that

  17. Chris says:

    hehe. just be glad you didn’t have to watch “The Mountain” last year. That was the height (or depth) of my bad tv watching ;)

  18. Wait! It’s unmasculine to get your hair cut at a salon? Dang it! I’ve been loosing man points for years and no one even told me!

  19. Hänni says:

    Erin – Well, I have to admit, SORM did turn me onto Lost, so he’s not *all* bad

    Chris – Watching “The Mountain” sounds like my idea of a personal hell. That and learning Katie Holmes was impregnated by one T. Cruise – yeah that katie holmes thing would be horrible…

    Phineahs – Get thee rootbeer and start belching the alphabet quick! You need to start redeeming all those lost man-points.

  20. Amber says:

    Uh….Girlmore Girls does not actually enter you into full girlie-dom because they’re hot. (has anybody actually seen Lauren Graham in Bad Santa? Need I remind you of her sick obsession with Santa Claus?) DUH! And the writing is KICKASS! Dbl Duh!
