or am I doomed to look silly? Currently, my helmet is a basic Bell Athena -57 cm. I lave a long/oblong head and cannot for the life of me find a helmet that fits correctly &/or doesn't look alienesk. I have looked at multiple LBSs, chain stores and sporting stores w/ no such luck. I have looked at a few different styles & fits, but all look like they ride too high/are too skinny (*LBS owner nor I can quite decide what the issue is- maybe it's my face). Most helmets make me look like I shoved on a kid's helmet that is 2 sizes too small. I understand I will not find a helmet that makes me look super-attractive, but obviously want one that will fit my weirdo head and still look "good".

*Please ignore the face, body and silly puppy-bill (tour de fat, last minute add-on to look "festive").
Maybe a flatter (not domed) helmet? Deeper shell? Different size? Help, I don't even know what to look for! Ideas?! Price should most likely be under $50, b/c I am a poor, poor young sap.
