Hirsute

I’ve been watchimg the Reds. Good grief! All that hair! Long, flowing locks, myriad braids flapping in the wind, beards, mustaches, curly, straight, man buns, neck rolls, STOP! I can’t see anybody’s face through the opaque sunglasses, thick, armor like face guards, black paint on cheeks and drooping hair.

So what a relief to watch the women’s softball world series and the sweethearts playing their hearts out bedecked with lightweight face guards, an occasional eyelash enhancer with a touch of blush or eye liner and long pigtails, possibly fake, swinging down their backs, decorated with ribbons,, beads or colorful strings. Nice!

And the guys are covered with pads; knee pads, elbow pads,shin pads, ankle wraps, three different kinds of gloves, body guards all over. Wimps! You might as well just wear a complete body padded suit. . . oh wait, that’s been done already.
