A while back, I wrote about my father-in-law (known as “Zaydie” to my children) and many of you made it clear that you thought he was uh.. well.. let me remind you.
“Zaydie is hot!” (Portia)
“Zaydie is cute! Single? 
” (Becky)
“And Zaydie…not only is he a brave chaperone, but a quite handsome one too.” (Auds at Barking Mad)
“Handsome Zadie” (Chris)
Well, Zaydie has made a life change. As he put it, he decided to come out of the closet. No, not that closet. I think we need some photos to explain.
Here is Zaydie before his life altering change….
And here is Zaydie after….
That’s right. After many many years, my father-in-law has decided to stop wearing his toupee. I guess he felt it was time. He was tired of having to maintain it.
I don’t know what you do with a toupee once you’ve retired it. Maybe you keep it a drawer for sentimental value. Or maybe you sell it on Craig’s List. Or maybe you use it as a center piece for large dinner parties. Although I didn’t see it at my husband’s family’s passover seder.
Well, wherever the toupee is now resting, I think Zaydie looks pretty damn good.

Can you find out what he’s done with the toupee? Tell him I’ll take it for a fiver.
Just a little heads-up. After a certain interesting phase in your life, a phase during which everyone around you becomes insanely irritating and your hair begins to disappear in the darndest places, you may find a use for the toupee. Just take a little trimming up.
Way hotter without the wig!
Wow, that was a great wig! I had no idea! Zaydie…you are still hotter than ever!!
I’d like to see him completely bald….I love a man with a baldie….lol…I should quit before l’m banned right?
Hotter!!!
Zaydie is a good looking man and the lovely lady in the picture is stunning also. Wow, what a good looking couple!
A handsome face should not be covered! Go Zaydie!
I hope Zaydie inspires lots of other men who distract from their hotness with peculiar ways to cover their baldness. I once dated a handsome guy but all my eyes went to was the seam that attached his Hair Club for Men extensions to his regular hair. Zaydie is super handsome now. Love it!
Tell Zaydie he actually looks younger. And Bubbie is pretty gorgeous, too!
What good genes Rick has!
He Rocks!
Oh Zaydie you cutie you! I LOVE the new look. But sadly, I’m now taken. In another life my dear Zaydie. In another life…
Tell him he looks younger without it!
Your girls are lucky to have such hotties as grandparents.
Mr. Clean, every woman gets hot and bothered by Mr. Clean!

Ditto to all the above. And it FEELS GOOD TOO!!! Franny
He looks WAY BETTER. And yes…he is a total hottie.
Much better than with, in my opinion…
Super fine!!! Love it!
Well, we always had a family wig. It’s still kicking around my mother’s house. Everyone looks “great” in it. Maybe you could share the rug.
I bet the girls would look gorgeous in it while wearing their princess dresses!
Oh, good for him! He looks fantastic.
I think they make zhu zhu pets out of retired toupees.
Murr Brewster is telling you to use it as a Merkin….only if you don’t have to fight your girls who can use it for a costume accessory.
Rub his head for me!
Yippee! Freedom!
Hot. For sure. and LOL at the Zhu Zhu pet comment!
He looks so good!
So much better!
Love the new look…Zaydie!!!!
Even better looking. Quite dashing really.
Love it!
