Bald-gate
Oh lol - I haven't been writing for a while, and I just dug out my Cabin Pressure WIP... and discovered the following passage:
Mr. Smith frowned, adjusting his glasses. His height was not the only thing that differed from Martin's mental image of him; in fact, he looked nothing at all like a sassy LGBT blogger. His glasses, though designer and wireframed, were not overstated. His hair was cropped so short as to be barely there, highlighting his evident male-pattern baldness in a way that was almost flattering. Martin, whose full head of ridiculously curly hair looked 'managable' at best, felt an irrational stab of jealousy.
If I get around to posting this thing, I want to put up a fucking disclaimer that this wasn't some sort of statement.
