I got this email a few days ago via MySpace out of nowhere:
Subject: working on photo project in nyc....
Body: hey buddy, my name is louis, live in nj work in nyc.work on fine art projects/photography etc..work is more shown in europe (denmark,france, milan etc)..was looking for a guy with longer hair, who might be willing to cut/shave it for photo assignment, will pay $$$..it is a portrait shot, based on showing identity..can explain more in depth if interested..need someone with the long hair willing to loose it. let me know.
cheers
louis
I haven't responded yet and probably will not. Apparently he didn't understand that my IDENTITY IS my long hair. Sigh.
Then again, who knows? Maybe he meant no harm, but I would imagine after checking out my profile and pics, he would have concluded that I am quite happy having long hair...
Oh yeah, I should note his sn had 'buzz' in it so I'm guessing he really has a haircut fetish and those foreign countries may just be fetish websites based out of there. Yeah, color me paranoid. LOL
Yeah, I agree that is indeed a strange e-mail; but as much as I love long hair and doubt I would cut mine even if I was well-paid to do so... Somewhere along the line of fantasizing about large dollar bill figures thrown at me, I'm sure even I would cave in at some point.
The average house in San Francisco nowadays I think goes for just under a million $$$. I'm a renter with no hope of ever being able to afford to own my own house here, so if some idiot with a buzzcut fetish were to offer me a million, my guess is that I would take it! Anything less than that, though... Well, maybe I'd still say yes if it went down to: $999,999.99 (lol)!!

I will cut my hair but I require a payment of about 100 dollars per hour in time spent to grow the hair to waist length, that means about 5 or so years... which translate to about several million. Thats not including emotional and psychological damage incurred when the hair is cut and all the insults taken while the hair is in awkward stage, that's about 2 more million.
This is so obviously fetish based - there's no way I'd ever reply!
If someone offered me 1 million dollars to shave my head, I would do it in a heart beat. My hair will grow back. Depending on where I live I could be set for life.
Though I would probally try to get it to two or three million before I shaved.

What if they required you to do something to your scalp to insure that hair will never grow back, would you still do it for a million?
Sorry that would not work for me. You couldn't pay me enough to scar my scalp.
