So I'm bald...
I raised $900.45 for the Canadian Cancer Society. Got my head shaved. So did my Dad. It was all good. Except now I'm cold all the time.
Here are the photos of my dad and I getting our heads shaved for Cops for Cancer.
It was pretty crazy actually. There were tons of people there watching; crowding around the *stage*. Yes a stage! There were a couple of official photographers and tons of people with cameras.
The first woman who went up was a professor who'd been teaching at UofT for 39 years. She was retiring. She got all teary as the clippers buzzed away the first strips of hair. She promised her students a wild looking prof...
...she had her hair done in a mohawk and then went off to the bathroom spiked it up with blue gel and put on a dog collar and studded cuffs! She rawked out!
My dad and I were the third couple to go up. The announcer called out our names and rattled through a little blurb about each of us. As the clippers buzzed the first strips off me I thought to myself "there's *really* no turning back now." It didn't take long. My hair was gone in a couple of minutes.
I turned to look at my dad. He was totally bald too. Like a little bald baby! So cute :-)
We hung out and watched everyone else get their heads shaved. We gave over our money. After it was all done we had our "after photos" taken and we presented a giant stage cheque for $10,900ish (it wasn't exactly 900 but I can't remember what the other numbers were) to the Canadian Cancer Society.
All in all a great day. Thank you again to all the people who were so supportive and to the very generous people who sponsored me. Karma points for all of you ;-)
PS. I'm still looking for a henna tattoo place that'll do my head. I'll put up photos of the evolt.org tattoo when I get it done.
