I am excited to have Jennifer Lyon here at Smexy today! Soul Magic is the second book in her Wing Slayer Hunter series and it features Sutton, a very smexy man, who happens to be bald. So I asked Jennifer to tell us how sexy bald men can be.
Bald Is Sexy…
Mandi, thank you so much for inviting me to Smexy Books!
I’m here to cast a spell and make you all fall in love with bald men. In SOUL MAGIC, out October 27th, the hero is bald. With the five original Wing Slayer Hunters, I had very little say in what they looked like. They just walked on scene.
I love when that happens! And it doesn’t happen often enough.
But these five men did. I met Axel (hero of BLOOD MAGIC) and Sutton first. Sutton appeared as Axel’s best friend and the club bouncer. For that role, he worked great. Sutton is built like a tank, huge and thick with muscles. He has vivid blue eyes and a really sexy gold eagle earring in one ear.
And he’s bald. Like Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel or Ving Rhames. These aren’t your pretty boy underwear models. These are classic tough men. They don’t need hair to soften their looks or get in their way. They have a job go do and they do it.
In SOUL MAGIC we learn more about Sutton. He grew up a tracker and a survivalist. He’s a self taught computer genius. He hates rogues, the men who have given into the three decades old curse and kill innocent witches to harvest the power in their blood. He hunts and kills rogues with zero mercy. Sutton is afraid of nothing…
Until Carla Fisk. She’s highly educated with a PhD in psychology, her father is a brilliant scientist, and Carla is everything Sutton isn’t—small, delicate and refined. He believes she’s too good for him. And he also believes she’s the witch who will drive him rogue.
Carla has discovered that her murdered twin sister’s soul is trapped in a rogue’s knife. Sutton has the resources Carla needs to find the knife. Together, they battle a dangerous psychic to free Keri’s soul and save countless lives.
But Sutton’s biggest challenge, his biggest battle, is convincing Carla that he’s her soul mirror, which is literally the witch who is the other half of his soul. If he and Carla bond their souls, Sutton will be free of the curse, and Carla will be able to use high magic.
Except that Carla suspects Sutton is actually her dead twin sister Keri’s soul mirror, not hers. Trust me when I say this complicates things for Sutton and Carla!
So today, I thought we could help Sutton out. Let’s all come up with reasons why bald men are sexy and desirable so that Carla can’t resist Sutton. And in the process maybe you’ll all fall in love with bald men and run out to buy the book! Isn’t that a clever spell?
Hi Ms Lyon and Mandi! Interesting question – why are bald men sexy? Because they radiate power and non-nonsense attitude, maybe? Or because they can never have a greasy hair? Or because all that bad-boy look is just irresistible for the ladies? I don't know, maybe because all written above :)
Or because they can never have a greasy hair?
*snort*
Well, a girl has to be practical, doesn't she!
Yes! It is an excellent point…still giggling over it :)
I was told yesterday that being bald is a sign of intelligence. No kidding. He, a fellow student without any hair on the head, said the braincells need so much room that there's just no room for the hair. So here you have it, bald men are really smart and it looks sexy as hell.
I hope BF doesn't get wrong ideas now(love his hair-LOL)
There's something about a bald scalp that says 'stroke me'. My granddaddy kept his hair under 1/2" and it was so much fun to stroke his head, both as his hair was growing and just after he shaved.
I've heard a variant on bald = intelligence; all the heat from the thinking burns off the hair. Or something like that.
My sweetie is bald, with a goatee, which I find to be one of my all time favorite combinations. It's a little bad ass, but also it's quite sensual to touch a bald head (ehem, or at least it is for me). Throw in tattoos, and it's a complete package to me.
Bald = sexy.
Aha – bald men are super smart..I know their secret now.
And you are right, Sewicked, it does invite one to stroke ;)
Kati – I love a bald man with a goatee and tatts…nice.
Totally making my husband shave his head when he gets home tonight.
Great question. Being a hairdresser, you'd think I wouldn't be a fan of someone who most likely won't be a potential client, lol, however, I find certain men pull the look off extremely well. Not all. Don't get me wrong. Like you mentioned, they have to have the attitude to go with the look. It's kind of like the mohawk. Not everyone can pull off that look and be sexy, either.
Best combo evah…..bald head and a delicious beard! Scrumptious! The ultimate masculine combo. Sigh. Begging for kisses.
I have to admit some bald men are quite sexy. For some that have the attitude and self-confidence to pull off the look, it can be quite powerful and so masculine.
I'll leave with a joke:
woman: "I love your bald head."
man: "I'm not bald, its a solar panel for my love machine."
Hehehe, something to think about? Hmm?
Barbara – it is definitely the attitude. My neighbor across the street shaves his head – and has a really deep voice and very alpha 'tude. Just sayin…
Penny – you like a man with a beard..I can't believe it ;) (thinking of a certain smexy Nicholas Klaus….)
I'll leave with a joke:
woman: "I love your bald head."
man: "I'm not bald, its a solar panel for my love machine."
I'm dying…dying!!!
My boyfriend of 5 1/2 years has a bald head. :) It's sexy because it feels good, AND they aren't always fussing with it or worrying about GOING bald! :P
Good Morning all! (It's morning here in Southern CA!) Mandi, thank you so much for having me as a guest on Smexy Books today! I'm looking forward to hearing all the reasons why bald men are sexy :-)
Hmm, a bunch of fire trucks just went by and it sounds like they stopped not too far from here. Wonder if any of those firemen are bald? Probably, I should be worrying about flames, not men, right?
On to answer comments…unless I see flames :-)
Host, hi! Greasy hair, LOL! Why do some people think that stringy greasy hair look is sexy? Shudder.
I think you're onto something with the no nonsense attitude!
SusiSunshine, and notice it took a bald man to tell you :-) But hey, smart is sexy so I like it!
Sewicked, thinking burns off the hair…they must be thinking some super hot thoughts to do that! Stroking is sexy though :-)
Kati, wow, I have a mental picture here and Thank You For that! Very sexy!
Barbara, have you seen a mohawk that's sexy? I'd love to see that! But yeah, that confident attitude really tops off the bald look!
By the way, being a hairdresser is a great career for observing people!
Penelope, you're a woman who knows what she wants! Bet men find that very sexy too!
And now we know that a bald head invites stroking and kisses :-)
Hi :)
Patrick Stewart has a certain gravitas and I think it because of his being folically challenged.
:)
All the best,
RKCharron
xoxo
Armenia, SNORT! Love the joke! Thanks for the laugh!
Good point about bald being masculine…it really does scream "I'm a MAN."
BrookeReviews, the not fussy with it (and acting like a girl) is so true! LOL On not worrying about going bald!
RKCarron, hi, great to see you here! I went to take a quick look at a picture of Patrick Stewart and now I forgot what we're talking about :-) Oh wait, bald being sexy. Patrick Stewart does it well!
Hey, Jen!
Oh, yeah, bald is good. I don't know what it is about bald men that turns me on, but it does–add a Patrick Stewar accent and yummers.
Personally, I like the idea that my hair will always look better than his . . . lack of hair.
Margaret
Margaret, hey there, nice to see you! I will admit to that too, I want my hair to look better than his! LOLOL!
Bald men don't leave anything behind in the sink or the shower. Just sayin'!
Don't put me in the drawing. I actually have two copies of the book. LOVE Sutton! LOVE the book! LOVE the series!
Actually, my DH did this really nasty comb-over thing when we started dating. And he took SOOOO much longer to get ready to go out than I did. Luckily, Uncle Sam shaved it all off a year into our marriage when he was recalled to active duty. Twenty-six years later, I still love to polish that bald head. :D And…he still takes longer to get ready than I do! LOLOL!
Oh…Did I mention I love this book?
Definitely because it's bad-ass look, can be sexy on the right guy, and because it projects confidence — like, I'd rather be bald that have a comb-over ;-) I mean, just look at Nikki Duncan's recent cover: http://nikkiduncan.com/bookshelf/sounds-to-die-by. That Ian is one smokin' hot dude!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I think they are sexy because they seem to exude masculinity and power. Without hair, you focus on their facial features more.

First of all why haven't I read Soul Magic?! Secondly, I've never admitted this to ANYONE, but I've always had a secret crush on Mr. Clean. The bald, shiny head + muscles galore AND the fact that he does housework; makes him hot. So bald guys who know how to work it, get sexy points in my book.
Oh i love's me the bald head. Vin…yummy!! My hubs keeps his head shaved and i LOVE it!!. I tell him all the time " hey atleast you know when your an old man and start loosing your hair i already find the baldness HOT !!!
JoJo
My husband recently shaved his head and i love it. I have a hair phobia and this works perfectly for me! lol Something about other people's hair…anyway, YAY BALD!
ohhhh Vin Diesel you got my full attention! That is one sexy bald man… if only all bald men were that sexy. I think it is like everything else it depends on the person some people do not make very attractive bald *shudders* just look at my neighbour!
Silver, aww thanks!
Bald beats comb-over any day! So glad Uncle Sam took care of that issue for you!
Really he takes longer to get ready than you? Too funny! My husband is efficient!
Bella, that's a hot cover!
CrystalGB, love masculinity and power in my heroes!
Smokinhotbooks, SOUL MAGIC just came out on Tuesday :-)
You know, I always liked Mr. Clean too! Hot bald man doing housework, yummy!
Stacy, that's so cool that your husband did that for you!
Pattepoilue, Vin Diesel really rocks that Bad Boy vibe! I think I'll just look at him and avoid your neighbor :-)
I haven't know many bald men, but the few I have known had this aura about them. All of them took their hair off intentionally and to me that takes confidence! I think that confidence makes them sexy – it let's you know that there could possibly be something pretty wild just under the surface.
Or that could just be my hormones talking after looking at Vin Diesel for the past 15 minutes :-D
Hi Jen! Please don't put me in the drawing for your book as I have my copy already.
Bald men just ARE sexy. I can't tell you the why of it. I've had a thing for bald men my whole life. Vin Diesel, Jason Statham and Bruce Willis just made it acceptable to everyone else to think so too! ;)
Anyone who hasn't read Blood Magic is missing out and while I haven't finished Soul Magic yet, it is written by my friend Jennifer Lyon, what's not to like????
I'm with Kati, my hub is bald with a goatee. There is something a little bad ass about it. Vin is definitely one of the top bald hotties. I have yet to read the first in the Wing Slayer Hunters series. It's in my TBR and after reading this, I think I'm going to have to bump it up just so I can get to the bald hottie in book two!
Well they just look more powerful and badass!
Smokinhotbooks, I KNOW Mr. Clean. Srsly! Well…the model anyway. He's a local firefighter. I don't know if he cleans at home but he does around the station. When the new campaign for Mr. Clean came out several years ago, the local news was all abuzz because a local artist had the contract and he was using his neighbor as the model. And yup…he really does look like that!
@Silver James I want to be you!!! He's a FIREFIGHTER, to quote Paris "That's Hot!!!!"
Mandi I have you to thank for posting this question. Now I can die a happy woman knowing Mr. Clean is ALSO a Firefighter.
Cybercliper, it's all about that confidence! Very sexy!
Erika, thanks so much for plugging BLOOD MAGIC! You're the best!
Your list of bald, sexy men is just like my list!
Fallon, I do so love those bald bad asses :-)
I think a bald head makes a mans facial features stand out more which in turn makes me see thier eyes more clearly and I'm an eye lover so there you go!!
aliciahall0605(AT)yahoo(DOT)com
Jeanette8042, Yes! Bald and sexy and nothing hiding that fact!
Silver, you have all the fun! Totally jealous!
Smokinhotbooks, Mandi comes up with great ideas, doesn't she?
And trust me, everyone wants to be Silver! She rocks!
Alicia0605, good point! Eyes can be really sexy :-)
Damn damn damn… I posted this morning and it is not there… *pouting damnit*
Well, I know I am late… But OMG!!!! I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!! I got my book in today!!! **happy dance happy dance yayayayayayaya** Me excited, nah!!! OMG… was I hyperventilating… Hell Yeah!!!!! I can not wait to read it!!!! Awesome post Mandi… And Jen… Hey honey!!! You know I think both of you freaking rock!!! Just wanted to pop in to say that!!! LOL!!!!!!!
Cecile, so weird that your post disappeared! But glad you came back!
Glad your book arrived, and it's making me laugh that your so happy about it!
Happy Birthday, Cecile!
After looking at Vin Diesel, can I say that a bald man just emits a powerful, sexy, edgy, I'm-a-bad-boy vibe? Or, I think it's the confidence factor. A guy confident enough in his looks to go without hair is hot.
A bald man with a goatee. And a few tats. Oh yeah. Why is it sexy? I have no idea maybe it just says bad boy? *waggles eyebrows*
It depends upon the man. They have to be a certain type of many to make bald sexy. Vin? Oh yeah!! Verra hot! And I agree with whoever said it, bald and a goatee–swoons! Dead sexy that!
I plan on starting SOUL MAGIC tonight. Even if it is late already.
It all depends on the man. But on the right man with the right attitude. It can give a sense of confidence and knowledge
Anna, that confidence to shave off their hair is pretty hot!
Fiction Vixen, oh those bad boys…how can we resist! And why would we try???
Donna, I love that "I can handle anything" attitude that some bald men give off!
Kira, I know you like them BAD to the bone :-) Only certain men can pull that off!
Really hope you enjoy Sutton!
Why are bald men sexy? Maybe because of the bad boy image? I don't know…I have only found 1 bald guy sexy and that is Michael Rosenbaum who plays Lex Luthor on Smallville.

I adore men with shaved heads, bald men are so masculine and sexy like Bruce Willis and Vin Diesel
OMG, so hot! With actors like Vin Diesel and Jason Statham in the bald camp, it's a great place to be. I can just imagine either or both of them talking to me even reading from the phone book and I would be so happy. Then to rub those smooth heads…….
I'm off to take a cold shower. lol
Deidre
For me, I think it is because without the hair you can see the shape of a face, see the character than shines through :)
Oh, and please don't include me in the draw – I live a long way away *grin* – but thank you :)
