The birthday party - no place for bald men (or women)

You'd think a birthday party would be a source of joy and celebration, wouldn't you? Well, usually it is - and that's great. However, there's one thing about birthday parties (as I learnt to my cost this weekend) which isn't so great if you're (going) bald...everyone's got a camera.

Just when you thought it was safe to look at yourself in a mirror the "birthday party photographer" is the guy who just can't help coming up to you and showing you the photo he took when you weren't looking (or able to put that paper hat on quick enough). Damn these amateurs and their poorly-exposed-instantly-viewable-digital-pictures!

Well, thankfully my own birthday comes but once a year so I've got some time to recover my self esteem before the next one...
