Locks of Love.

Recently, two of my online friends have received scary, devastating news - their babies have cancer. Both children are on their way to recovery, so I thought, what better way to celebrate than by helping other children in need?

So today I went to Great Clips and had the lady hack off all my hair. Eleven inches of it is bound into a pony tail and on its way to Locks of Love, where it will join several other ponytails in a fantastic journey to wigdom. First it gets washed and sorted, to make sure it's all the same length, and then they send it through the Amazing Wigomalator, where it will be magically turned into a hair piece for a child suffering from alopecia. Some of the kids who get wigs from Locks of Love have genetic causes of hair loss, while other have lost it due to chemotherapy. I read on their website that it costs like 5K to make wig. That's crazy. Maybe they need to just use traditional wig making equipment, and retire the Amazing Wigomalator. It just doesn't seem like it's all that cost effective anymore. Probably because it runs on pure Saudi oil, and we all know how that goes.

Anyway, here are the pictures.

And after.....

Now listen, I'm very aware that I am somewhat less than photogenic. But isn't my shirt rad?
