This is Vixen, Signing in...
Wednesday night I said my farewells to my hair of many many years... and Crazy did the job of taking it away from me! Cutting my long plaited pony tail from my head...
It was scary and took so much longer than I expected.. as in... yup.. real thick hair XD
I did this to raise money for the Lekaemia Foundation for the 'worlds greatest shave' I intended to raise up to $3000... then I saw that going no where, so i Halved it to $1500.. and then more so to $500 as I was getting no where near what I thought I could for cutting off so much hair for a needed charity. I was able to raise that $500 and a bit more (as I have cash donations ready to deposit) as well as the online donations...which are still open!
But on the bright side... I've been getting some really nice/good comments on the new look! (lol) I dont think any one who hasnt seen me in a while would recognise me! XD It's really weird being able to comb my hair rather than brush it for ages and use SOOO much less shampoo and conditioner XD and the fact it takes like 10 mins to dry rather than 4 hours XD Also... much lighter too! haha!
Here a pic link to the before/after and final look if you're interested! >>>

Crazy and I bought a 4x4 for an AWESOME price and have been out and about Four-being (how do u spell that non existant word?) all over the place and getting stuck and having alot of close calls to boggy spots and such. Been going out with one of his mates who has one too, which is good incase one of us needed to be pulled free XD lol
Good fun! And also means we can go out camping and such too! ANNNDD even better for having for the SNOW trips we'll be making in the upcoming season! =).. only thing is.. our front yard looks like a wreckers atm! My ute and civic that have been sitting in the driveway, the corsair and integra, crazy's dads wagon, the laser and now the 4x4 all in the yard... the rest in the sheds! X"D
Art has been put on hold due to these hard working suit mkaing times! Plus.. regular work doesnt help much time wise!
Thats all I can muster up for a journal for now!

and hellyeah furdu's going to go off!
I set my target at $2500, but I've only achieved about $1600.
Did you do anything with the hair you cut off? It's been suggested to me that I should donate it to an alopecia charity that can use it to make wigs for kids who can't grow their own hair.
I really wanted to donate it, but after reading up what was required... I can't =( Because my hair had permanent dye and they wont accept dyed hair because if they combine multiple peoples hair and dye them together, the already dyed hair will turn out a different colour than natural hair. Sooo the plait is sitting in my cabnet atm XD
Yeah, the Australian one that I looked at wouldn't take coloured hair, but there's an American one that will, as long as it wasn't bleached:

Hehe I'm sure you look great with it, seeing as I can only see the back of your head! >.> My hair is kinda longish now, but duuno if I could part with it just yet! I hope my lil contribution to you has helped, and hope you earn plenty more dosh in the mean time! ^^
Wow, VERY short hair! It's, just, not the same........Errmm, different.
I have a brand new 4x4 wagon now, so it's all good. (It actually works, and is reliable!) Heh!
