cutting hair for a million dollars?

And don't tell me Uzmas would rather lose her soul than have her hair cut, from her writings I know her better than that, she doesn't take God or life that trivially.
Like I often do, she was obviously using symbolic speech to express a strong feeling.
I don't take everything everyone says,( including myself), literally. I have enough of a brain to discern symbolic from literal speech.

With a million dollars, you buy a self-juicing (i.e electricity) house with a gym, pool (use extra juice to maintain pure water, not by using chlorine, dojo and enough hardware and ammunition. Have 4 kids, and train them to be the LHG Elite. You sacrifice a little, you get a lot, and so do your kids :P

Plus your hair will be at a similar length than that of your kid's but with a year or so head start :O


I mean, who DOESN'T want long hair and the ability to kick ass ? Then again, it's all conditional to the money :P

sure.. for a half a million i would cut it to my shoulders.. for a million i would go for a buzz cut and just buy a wig and viviscal and hair vitamins to make it grow back faster and healthier. it would be doing me a favour, my hair is so trashed, damaged, and knotted up all the time.

You're right Isla.
What we also need is a "I'm being deadly serious" icon, if such a thing exists.

Apologies if I have offended anyone.

Hi Lyris, Isla, Uzma et al,

You are all soooooooo right about this topic. Ack. I have so many problems with email & messageboards on a number of fronts. On one side I have to be careful not to take emails I receive or posts to me the wrong way (and I get hundreds of emails every day for every reason from soliciting money to hair advice to business stuff) and then I have to be careful what I write in my emails back.

You guys should just see some of the Customer Service emails we get and some of the private emails I get. I think it is because people lose sight of the fact that other people can be hurt by flippant words in email that would never be said over the phone or in person. I wish I could publish an anonymous book of the emails. Geez. I am always totally amazed.

I am especially careful about what I post on any messageboards anywhere because Lyris you are 1000% correct that sometimes people are just posting tongue-in-cheek (and we don't have a symbol for that one) or they are just enjoying the potential for discussion and not really serious. Or intending any harm or meanness.

As Dave Decker, Jen Bahney, Jeff and many who know me personally will tell you, in person or on the phone I am humorously sarcastic. However, that is hard to translate sometimes into words. So I try to be careful about that in my emails and posts.

So yes, it is important for everyone to remember that unless you can hear a person on the phone or see their face, it is wise to not overreact.

Anyway...a long winded reply to a basic statement that I agree. :-)

Best wishes,
Karen

PS. Lyris I have not forgotten about you and am still trying to pin down that stylist about the bun accessory. I have left her 2 voice and 2 emails and she has not gotten back to me. But I will preserve until I get an answer. ;-)

Oops, that got posted twice. Sorry!

Would I cut off five inches for a million dollars? Yes!

You didn't specify how much.....

I'm only vaguely familiar with Celion Dion. How much hair did she cut? The great news about long hair is that we have more to sacrifice.

A pixie? Isn't she real thin? I haven't seen her, but I have a feeling that she looks a lot older than she really is. I wonder why she cut her hair.

DaveDecker wrote: Another reason she gave was that she has a baby and wanted to focus as much attention as possible on her baby, and didn't want to have stylists fuss over her hair for hours before shows.

i'm getting tired of that excuse with babies. depending on what type of hair you have short hair can be just as time comsuming. also when women complain they cut their hair because the baby pulls their hair. a baby is going to pull short or long hair. if your hair is long hanging down it's easier for the baby to pull. if you are playing and handling a baby, the baby pulls on top long or short.
