What happened next?

This!



I think he looks great! It was premiered at Infest last night so I'm now allowed to show everyone, but I've been keeping my mouth shut since Wednesday evening, which has been HARD! He went to my hairdresser's and we've kept the hair. Not sure what he's doing with it yet. I've got my own blond lock to keep. :}

OMG! He looks REALLY good! I also think it's knocked about 5 years of him.

[sushidog.livejournal.com]

Wow, he looks really good!

I'm so shocked - I never thought he would cut his hair. I admit that it's quite difficult to get one's head around it - I kind of associate Simon with 'hair'.

[disco-hoof.livejournal.com]

He looks respectable! That's very disconcerting indeed... :)

Lordy!

Can we have a rear view please (as it were)? I'm very impressed.

[capt-prickle.livejournal.com]

WOW. That's something I thought I'd never see. He does look good though.

That's the only example of someone cutting off more hair at one time than I did I've ever seen!

Sadly, it didn't occur to me to keep the hair until people kept asking me if I had. I could've had a cool wig made or something.

When I hacked all mine off I regretted it ... but only briefly. Well, okay, I still do from time to time, but I think that for men out of their 20's shorter hair looks a lot better. And the time saved in showering is significant!

It really suits him! He looks like a Bond villain or a charmingly plausible Agatha Christie murderer, which is a good look. :)

Coo-er. That seriously does work for the lad.

[tvor.livejournal.com]

ohmyGod!!! It does look fab but.... ohmyGod! I bet his head feels infinitely lighter, too!

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

Wow! It's the end of an era!

Good lord. The world suddenly makes slightly less sense than it did five minutes ago. Simon having long hair was one of the great constants of the universe, and him having it cut short (even though it looks very smart and makes him look about five years younger) is about as unexpected and unnerving as if blue_condition said "actually I've gone off curry, decided motor racing is unspeakably tedious, and always reckoned Juliet Binoche was a bit overrated".

Here's a photograph of the last time Simon had his hair cut. It grew back a couple of years later, though.

Wow! What a change!
I think he looks great with short hair.

It will be interesting to hear how many people don't recognise him at Infest.

[denalyia.livejournal.com]

Wow! It really does look good, though took a couple pictures to keep my head from finding it a bit disconcerting to look at. I totally agree it suits him, though, and that he looks a lot younger. Crazy how much a change in hair can also change the entire appearance of a person.

I can see why it was hard not to say anything!

[thermaland.livejournal.com]

Sell it on eBay. As a more famous blonde's.

[naturalbornkaos.livejournal.com]

Woah! Win!

I was wondering when this day would come. It's an improvement, for sure.

[gylfinir.livejournal.com]

Gosh! That's such a change, but it looks really good!

(Hello by the way! We've never met, but I know Simon from York days)

[incy.livejournal.com]

Ok, that is quite a surprise, but id does look good.

[alasdair.livejournal.com]

That's a great look for him, and an instant dose of fountain of youth...

[kixie.livejournal.com]

WOW. Just...WOW. Totally wow. I saw him Wed...no, Tues evening - oh my god, he didn't say a word to me!

It looks really good.

Wow.

WOW.

[fluffydave.livejournal.com]

oh nooooooooooooo :(

[fjm.livejournal.com]

Niice!!!!

[andyravensable.livejournal.com]

Crumbs. Another loss to the long hair brigade, but since the demise of B Movie, I suppose there's no where for him to shake his long tresses about, and perhaps it was about time. As other have said, it does accentuate just how young his face looks without them.

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

It does actually look pretty good. Although in the 'after' photo above, there's a touch of the Julian Sands, although that's not always a bad thing.
