Hey Alexander
Beautiful long hair, bro.
Raymond
Great looking hair you have there.
Russia actually allows men to have long hair? Last I heard they didn't allow it.
Many thanks for kind words :)
Actually long hair on men is allowed in Russia.
Some state-owned companies as well as many schools have rather strict dress codes and lists of "approved hairstyles" but in general nobody cares if a guy wears his hair long.
Hi(gh)!
Perhaps you confused that with North Korea, or Turkmenistan...
As also priests and monks of the Orthodox Church wear long hair (and beards!) I wonder whether male long hair among Russians is also perceived as a "priestly" or "religious" thing... even I, though I live in Germany, have been mistaken for an Orthodox priest recently! Must have been because of my Afghan pakol cap which remotely (!) might resemble the "kamilavkion" of Orthodox priests...
See you in Khyberspace!
Yadgar
exactly, you are right
well, sometimes (especially in remote areas)people think that if you wear long hair it means
- you are in the band
- you are into some religious stuff
in big cities as a rule nobody cares
Hi(gh)!
Impressive tail! May I AtariSTize or C64ize your picture?
See you in Khyberspace!
Yadgar
Many thanks! Judging by your avatar photo your hair is very long too.
Sure, you can!

Hi(gh)!
Yes, it was back then (the photo is from 2011) and is still, but it has reached its terminal length some years ago.
O.k., here we go: C 64, simple lo-res block mode (25 by 40)... the true multicolor hi-res is not yet ready, as there are certain limitations to the color choice which are quite time-consuming to do by hand - but I will write a program to do it automatically, watch out!
