Introducing . . . Jost . . . with hair!
Many of you may not know that Jost actually does have a full head of hair trying to grow under that bald pate. Against his will, he's now been nudged into displaying that hair to the world after several people—among them one of Hannes's basketball teammates from Ghana—asked with concern whether Jost was a skinhead.
Apparently, Jost has been wearing a significant part of the neo-Nazi skinhead "uniform" with his bald head and black leather jacket, and in contemporary Germany this is confusing enough to make people wonder about his intentions and political orientation.
After asking around among people who are more familiar with the skinhead scene, he decided that this probably isn't an uncommon assumption based on his appearance. So, strongly against his own personal preferences, Jost decided to let his hair grow again.
His family thinks he looks great with all that dark brown hair. What do you all think?
Addendum:
After I’d written this entry, Jost decided he couldn’t stand all that hairy dark brown stuff on his head and shaved it all off again. Sigh! With a bright red scarf, clogs, and a cabby cap he’s hoping to allay any worries about his skinhead status.
