I can' see Kate Moss or Heldi Klum going for that look.

I'm going for the bald head whether I like it or not. But I'm no Heidi Klum.

Still waiting for the "V-neck, velour, sweater pull-overs" ala Star Trek and other shows to come into fashion.

Only if what the future hold for us is a high-tech fascist totalitarian state inhabited by emotionless skinheads and in which black people only exist as holograms.

Sinead O'Connor gave it a good go in the 90s

But it didn't exactly catch on.

Peter Gabriel & his band are doing it (though wearing black)

I can see it catching on with men, but I doubt women will ever embrace the look. Imagine the economic collapse w haircare products.

Well football fans already got the bald heads into fashion.

In my world, they never went out of fashion.

It didn't even look good on Maggie McOmie (but then again, it's hard to imagine a pouty, freckled face like hers looking that good any which way).

On the other hand, Donald Pleasance usually looks out of place when he's wearing some multicolored outfit. Plain colors always went well with that bald head of his.

The aesthetics of this film have come and gone and come round again, several times. Today, Basic White is as basic an aesthetic as Basic Black, unisex is invariably a decision of corporate economics, and heads are regularly shaved or not shaved, as fashion and vanity dictate. Conformity and Individuality have become interchangeable societal ideals, depending on who controls the changer, and because no one really cares one way or the other anymore. Take four red capsules; in ten minutes take two more.
