Right now, because it's Friday, we confront a topic that's not just for men but for everyone as recent census figures show us that the median age of the American population is growing older.
A question from our blog community regarding one of this town's most celebrated morning show anchor . . .
"If you get a chance, check out Mark Alford on Fox4 this morning. His hair has never been darker. It was salt and pepper or grey up to recently."
Actually, that's the nicest comment on the subject sent our way . . . Other comments were pretty envious and snarky. However, the mean-spirited taunting doesn't realize a few facts:
Legendary President Ronald Reagan dyed his hair in order to defeat Communist Russia.
Ironman Robert Downey, Jr. dyes his hair because he's an actor and did way too many drugs in the 80s to keep his natural color.
And so . . .
WE SENT WORD TO FOX4 MORNING ANCHOR OF THE TKC HAIRSTYLE CONTROVERSY AND HE WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO RESPOND!!!
Here's his answer:
In a quick message to TKC, Mark Alford notes: “I appreciate everyone’s public concern for my personal appearance. It’s HAIR folks!!! And like my weight...it has, does, and WILL change! I’m glad people don’t watch our show to see what color my hair is or whether I’m wearing a tie, but rather, because WE are just like THEIR family at home....dysfunctional but relatable, reliable, and relevant.”
Couldn't agree more and we respect not only his follicles but also his forthright attitude.
Developing . . .
Mark is dapper. No doubt about it. Not many of us can also rock the silver fox look too.
ReplyDeleteDon't be a hater. The man has game!
Totally agree. I love listening/watching Fox4 in the mornings because Mark adds levity to my life. Fox 4 has personality.
ReplyDeleteI like his new look, by the way. Virtually everyone here on TKC is in the Clairol Club--except for Chuck. You cain't dye nuthin...his brain is so full of vocabulary words, his follicles just jump outta his head.
Happy First Friday everyone.
Yeah but can he still get it up without the help of blue pills?
ReplyDeleteWhat isn't fake these days?
ReplyDelete"the American population is growing older." Well, duh. The only direction a population can go is older. Or did you mean to write the average age is increasing?
ReplyDeleteIf he wears a blond wig, a buncha makeup, big boobs and declare he's Markie or Marcia....THAT should bring more (dysfunctional) viewers.
ReplyDeleteFinally!
ReplyDeleteFinally Tony found something his buddy Mark could speak intelligibly about - Hairdos!
If Alford worked for a real TV Station rather than "Faux News", the only job he could get would be emptying wastebaskets.
Says 10:00 am, a coward Anonymous, clearly unemployed or cheating his boss posting during the middle of the morning.
ReplyDeleteAlford is also a realtor.
Maybe he could list your home when you can't pay your property taxes, courtesy of Frank White.
How comes he's not with us at Google Camp?
ReplyDeleteOld people: Commenting about the appearance of local news anchors. How lame & pathetic.
ReplyDeleteOkay Tracy, here goes. My name is Androcles Anonymous (he real me, not these frauds claiming to be me), and I've written lots of things, you've possibly read quotations from my works in School.
ReplyDeleteBeing an author, I'm self-employed, so I'm not "cheating on my Boss", and since I produce something others consider to have value, I have as much of a "job" as anyone else calling themselves an "artist".
I'm too smart to have purchases a house in Jackson or Clay Counties, but I do live within the limits of Kansas City, Missouri. I don't feel that I have any business criticizing another County's affairs, I have enough of Eric Zahnd's antics to keep my attention focused.
I find Alford's malapropisms and inability to read a Chiron amusing (call it Schadenfreude if you will), ranking him right up there with Flaherty's performances that we saw in the Second City' "Mellonville TV" sketches.
Truly yours in all sincerity,

^^Good try but you fail. F-
ReplyDeleteA person who spends their spare time worrying about someone elses hair color is clearly a person with no life and has life's priorities all messed up.
ReplyDeleteThey also seem to post many times a day snippets calling others stupid and to go watch this while eating that. Hell for all we know it's Tony himself doing it. No really that showed up in the conversation on another local blog.
^^Huh??? Write with a purpose. Be concise. That's some mumbling shit right there.
ReplyDelete^^^Go! Now! Matlock on.
ReplyDeleteWhat's a Matlock? Wow, you're old.
DeleteHow about this Mark Alford douchebag finds his own ass and fucks himself in it with the dumb end of a hammer.
ReplyDelete^^How about you as well?
ReplyDeleteHe would fit right in at West Hollywood's KTLA. MOST OF THE T.V. PERSONALITIES DYE THERE HAIR. .MARK I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU A STAR BABY.
ReplyDeleteRegardless he's still a narcissistic jerk.
ReplyDeleteI liked Mark Alfords salt and pepper look with or without the beard. I'm guessing the Executives at Fox4 wanted a younger Mark.
