NEGATIVE SIDEBURNS PIC OF THE WEEK:
The NBA playoffs are under way and we think there is a solid favorite. We are not talking about the Cavs or
the Lakers,
or even the Celtics. We are talking about
the Utah Jazz, Deron Williams and their outstanding, dedicated fan base.
The Jazz are playing some great ball these days and the only thing negative anyone is saying about them is when
you mention the lack of whiskers or stubble in front of D-Will's ears. He
is sporting some great negatives and has
inspired a great
group of fans to follow his trend. Here is the Facebook Group that has brought a tear to our eyes. Keep up the great
work guys, we hope you have a long playoff run.

The
final 4 teams of the 2009 MLB playoffs had some great players and even better sideburn styles. From flirting with
negatives, negative sideburns and even some recession burns, the playoffs
have left us entertained and wanting more.
CC
Sabathia, Rafael Furcal, Jose Molina, Juan Rivera, Mark Teixeira, Melky Cabrera and Pedro Martinez are all making
millions of dollars and looking like a million bucks with their clean kept
burns.
We saw a guy the other day who must
have spent the entire day out at the beach sans sunblock and then the next
day decided to get his hair cut and sideburns chopped to negative proportions. He must have just stepped out of a
barber chair when we saw him because his burns were so trimmed that there was not
even a hint of stubble
popping out. We thought
he must have dyed his sideburns bleach blonde but upon further review it was just his tan
lines fooling us into thinking they were sideburns. As luck would have it, we were without a camera and thus
this is
our representation of what we saw. Using our
logo as a profile we saw what we have termed "Skin Burns". Let this
be a lesson for all you gentlemen, if you are going to get a haircut and trim those
sideburns make sure you are not
out tanning the day
before. This picture does no justice as to what we saw in real life.
Artie Lange is flirting
with negatives in the hilarious movie Dirty Work.
Thanks to M.D. for this find. Hard to tell
but we can see the lack of hair growth down the side of the face. Actually,
he has decided to pull all of his sideburn hair back into that tight ponytail peeking out back there. This
grooming
move has also been perfected by Steven Seagal. The entire picture
is just all around creepy. Put a shirt on bud.
Shawn "the Matrix" Marion, looks very
futuristic with his negatives on and off the court. We describe his style as "Neo" burns
to keep up with his Matrix theme. If you look up Neo in the dictionary it
will say: New, Recent, Revived or Modified. We believe
this
to be bang-on for his grooming style.
Email claiming this guy is our enemy.
This guy has a blatant disregard for our grooming style and is
protesting
against the negatives with what we call "reverse negatives". This style may also be called
positive sideburns, plus burns, anti-negatives, island burns, numbers 10's(if
the burn was a bit longer
which represents the 1 and the
ear being the 0), or "General Lee burns" if looking at him from the other
side (where the 01 represents the number on the General Lee from Dukes of Hazard), binary burns,
floating burns, P.E.I.'s (for you Canadians) and the list goes on and on....
Nicolas Cage
will do almost anything for a movie role, including shaving negatives/flirting with recession burns.
At least we think this is for a movie.
Thanks Matt for the email of Villanova's
Scottie Reynolds who made that clutch game winning end-to-end basket against
Pitt to lead Villanova to the Final Four. Scottie reminds us of another great basketball Scottie............Pippen.
Both have
what we consider a non-descript combo of negative, flirting with
and recession burns. Very hard to classify because
of
the grooming and trimming practices. One thing is for sure, they are both very aerodynamic on the court.
Randy finds a hidden gem while watching some March Madness.
Eric Devendorf of Syracuse refuses to do up his
chin
-strap. He shaves recession burns and lets his chin-strap just dangle in the wind.
Email from a viewer saying they
have been calling negatives, Emailed example: Jose Canseco with just a bit
the "Chipper Jones" after the Braves third baseman.
peeking below
his Oakley's.
More examples of negatives via email:
Butt-head sans Beavis. Email claiming former Mike Tyson trainer, Teddy Atlas, as
the King of the Negatives.
Thanks to DC for this old school extreme negative example: The former WWF Tag-Team Champions, The Nasty Boys.
Good lord! This picture was emailed and we are sans
comment. Please tell us this is a joke.
Either
way we are posting it. Great find.
