It is nothing new to me. But it continues to shock and to fascinate. They questioned me extensively. Wanted me to describe the whole experience. They wanted to touch my head, but they didn't.
Most people speak their reactions.
They want to be able to categorise it and me. To find out my intentions. Of course my shaved head does serve as a statement in that all dress codes are part of a larger system of cultural codes. But the examples above just go to show there are multiple significations. I like it this way.
