Katie Couric and Ann Curry

I like hair and all, but I would be pretty creeped out if I were getting emails begging me not to cut it. I guess that is why I'm not on tv

It's hair guys. I'm not a loser if I like mine short, or grow it long. I'm not wearing it short to "conform" to what a grown woman should look out and I'm not growing it out because I think long hair is the only way to look feminine. I had cancer when I was a teenager, and oddly, the worst thing I could imagine was losing my hair. But, hey, if I'm alive, let it all fall out!

The only input I consider when deciding on a hairstyle and length comes from my husband--if it were some random guy I would definately be skeeved out!

Now lets just say this little stunt works very well. Like a car crash. You know what's going to happen but you want to watch anyway. So lets say they get huge numbers for this. Do they do it again down the road? With another news person? We are talking about numbers for NBC. I could see this being done again.

Lol you are comparing a haircut to a car crash? Unless there is some scissor accident which renders the victim dead or disabled, I tend not to place the two events in the same category.

I was just useing it as an example. The rubber necking effect. Heck I'm one that dose take a look but won't stop like others have.

Considering they have to wait a year or two for hair to grow, I wouldn't count on it being a regular, recurring thing.  They're just taking ratings advantage of something Ann was gonna do, anyway. 

Which isn't to say they wouldn't take ratings advantage again if another anchor decided to do the same thing down the road, just that I don't think they'll be planning to make it an annual event.

I just found this on another site:

"Th latest on Ann Curry; AMAZING cascade of nearly waist-length curls! The bad news; she is rumored to be planning a chop on March 1st on the air to donate her hair to our old nemesis, LOL. Pic courtesy of the Yahoo! club anncurryfanclub....."

A response read:

"Too bad that is only a few days away. It's a terrible tragedy when a woman cuts her incredible hair. "

For those wondering, yes, it was a long hair forum, but the photos may be the best I've seen yet.

    Lets just hope even if she cuts 10'' or more, she will still have a fairly decent length.  Not back to that dreaded pixie or bob.  Cmon Ann,  change your mind wednesday hun......lol

     Rod, what's "tragic", IMO, is that that many of the women will be sacrificing something they treasure for nothing. It takes many years to cultivate exceptional locks, and to donate them to a sham charity is sorrowful indeed.

     No, this is not on the level of children starving, but all the tears which will be shed are completely unnecessary. I think LoL (and now everyone at NBC affiliated with this circus, including Ann) are truly wretched people. Sincerely, Bob

I wish I could belive in someone would be helped. If they are cutting for themselves hey go for it. But if they are getting con thinking this will go to someone then that's the sad part. The truth is out there where who knows I just hope one way or another this black mark can be lifted or shown as everyone thinks right now it's real. I guess we have to see.
