Philip Levine started losing his hair about four years ago, and instead of covering up his baldness with a bad rug, he decided to embrace it by using his head as a canvas. And, unintentionally, he said he’s helped people suffering from cancer, alopecia, and other diseases that cause hair loss by inspiring them: “You can be empowered by painting your head … Even though you’re suffering, you can embrace your baldness.” The flowers that body artist Kat Sinclair paints on him in this video are tame compared to some of the other designs he’s worn, which you can see on his website, PhilSays.com. What would you think if your guy started sporting a painted scalp? [via NOTCOT]

You’ll never see a dude turn to another dude and ask, “Do I look fat in these pants?” But that doesn’t mean men are invulnerable to insecurities, no matter how much we’d like to think so. Women are upfront about their fears, doubts, and self-esteem. I used to think it was just compulsive gabbiness, a quirk of the fairer sex. But, in fact, it is an admirable coping mechanism that’s even a little bit courageous. That said, I’ll sack up and admit that I’ve spent a lot of my life feeling like a fatty, a chubasaurus, half-man and half-marshmallow.

Saturday is Prince William’s 26th birthday, and he is concerned about his thinning hair. One Mail on Sunday reporter said that part of the reason William has stopped going out so much is because he’s self-conscious about the back of his head. For his birthday, William will celebrate at Highgrove, the family estate, instead of going out on the town. Prince Charles is said to have given William the key to the extensive wine cellar, and William’s favorite drink, the “crack baby” will also be served. (Crack Babies are fresh passion fruit mixed with vodka and champagne and served in a little shot glass.) William, don’t worry about your thinning hair. As a prince, I’m sure people can overlook this, plus, you’re really tall. If you don’t stoop to other people’s level, no one will ever notice. Also, that beret-style hat is a good look for you.

In Russia, a bill has been drafted that defines what pornography is and limits its circulation. For example, porn may only be broadcast between 1 and 5 a.m., and all pornography will be excluded from the Russian Internet. How they plan to do that is beyond us. [Pravda]
