Hilary Swank to cut hair for charity

Nother sad day. I just hope it isn't as short when she did Boy's don't cry"

I liked the short one of those two pictures best too.

Oh really? There are no guarantees.

     If there is a NEED for hair donations, save the explosion of extensions, please explain it to me. As for Hilary, long rocks, and emphasizes her femininity. To me, this publicity stunt on Oprah is silly, and it's an attempt to shame others into doing the same. Bob

Of course she's doing it for publicity! She's trying to publicize Pantene Beautiful Lengths, not herself. Getting a charity press increases donations. It's what charities dream for. Have you ever been involvedin a charity?

In yesterday's USA Today:

Anybody heard when the haircut will happen?  Here's a recent picture (Today actually) at an event where she was promoting her new fragrance.

Thanks for the clarification ssjockey.  I am not aware that there was an unmet demand for hair pieces for adult women with cancer.  A woman I know (who is now in remission) did not want to wear any hairpiece because her scalp was extremely sensitive.  By the time the sensitivity went away, her hair had grown back to "something" length (about an inch or so), where she felt comfortable without any head covering at all (she had used hats and silk scarves).

ssjockey wrote: I don't see what the big deal is anyway.  Hilary will cut her hair, probably not too short, then in her next movie, I'm sure she will sport extensions, and Kramer will tell us how much better she looks with them than without!

Probably so.

You are welcome to choose action contrary to my prediction, but I sense you'll resist any such temptation.
