This person has too much money
Someone in London paid $48,000 for a lock of John Lennon's hair!!
Holy split ends, Batman! Who has that kind of dough to blow on hair? It makes me wonder, though... was John's hair greasy? Shiny? Full of body and natural wave? Was there dandruff? And wouldn't it be a fantasy buzzkill if your idol turned out to be kinda dirty and raunchy smelling? I don't care if you're a musical genius and you feed blind babies in your free time, if you smell like feet, you're OUTTA THERE!
Anyway, suppose you had unlimited bucks and a creepy hair fetish. Which celeb's locks would you bid on?
Here's my top three:
1. Sinead O'Connor, whatever her hair used to look like. Come on. How much would THAT be worth?
2. The fluffy top half of Jon Bon Jovi's 80s mullet. Business in the front, party in the back, and more bang for your buck.
3. Amy Winehouse's beehive. Whatever, ahem, "items" are stashed inside might be worth more than the hair - depending on the street corner.
Let's hear it!
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
Forget Jon Bon Jovi's mullet hair..what happened to that mass of hair on his chest? He had a pectoral chia pet groovin' in the 80s and now he's Mr. Clean Pectorals.

I agree, Marissa. Men should be allowed to have chest hair.....my follicles think it's manly. Stop the waxing revolution, darn it. Unless you're a woolly mammoth.

Something about chest hair in a plastic baggie makes my stomach turn...

What an great idea! Hair for money - I love it. At my house, hair grows like crazy, but unforutnatley money does not! Why let a possible cash cow wash down the drain?
So here's an offer....I will sell a lock of Sean Daly's thick, fluffy, curly, Herbal Essence-smelling mane to the highest bidder! What would you pay people? I'm just curious!

FF, would that be pre or post Deep Creek.
I'm thinking that Michael Bolton could make a fortune off that Mega Mullet he has going on.

Ooh, will SD agree to this clipping? Or will you sneak up and do it in the dark of night? Will he roll into work with a big bald chunk?

Knowing FF, he may come into work with either a reverse mohawk or Kojak. Depending on how many spiked mojitos are involved.

I think my years of sweeping the floor in my Dad's barbershop just makes me gag at the sight of chopped off hair.

Ok, FF, since you mentioned the use of Herbal Essence, I have to inquire if Sean goes through the 'organic' experience the women on the commercials experience.
Yeah, I've officially crossed into the weird-zone. My advance apologies. ::just don't click post, Riss::

I'm not hearing any dollar amounts being discussed here - how very disappointing! Come on....I need a new fence, I need to have my carpets cleaned and I have a four year old I need to put through college some day!
I was thinking of hacking off that signature curl he gets right in the middle of his forehead when he needs a haircut. Awww...how cute! How can you pass that up SD fans?
Posted by: Forever Fiancee | December 14, 2007 at 11:22 AM
I'll bid.......one dollar.
Posted by: Al | December 14, 2007 at 12:32 PM
I'll see your dollar and raise you a bag of magical Funyuns.
