Can you be a Grey Fox if you are bald or balding?

Thursday, 2 August 2012

In her superb article on Grey Fox on The Times Magazine on 28 July, Polly Vernon wrote, "Grey Foxes are, by definition, still in possession of their hair. That is good." (Before you flame The Times, I'd hasten to point out that this comment was strictly tongue in cheek).

Of course a bald man can be a Grey Fox. Here are some bald or balding men whom we wouldn't have denied membership of the Grey Fox Club - each is stylish in his own way. (My apologies if I've infringed any rights with these photos, please contact me for removal if I have.)

    Think you are letting Vernon off too easily there. It's the double standard that says male hair loss is an excuse for a good old giggle from the women, but woe betide any chap who reacts to a woman with the same issue in a similar way.

    If the Grey Fox does not have hair then the clothes have to talking. Some of those photoed are better dressed than others. Can you have grades of Grey Fox?

      I agree, not all are equally stylish. Yes, I suppose like anything else, there are degrees of grey Fox-ness! Some people look stylish whatever they wear or many Italian men (and think Steve McQueen). Thanks for the comment! GF.
