[Lily Alexander]

Ahhh, my dearest Mad Dogge, you are a fine pirate gentleman indeed.

As you so aptly put it, I will also be donating my naturally curly red hair to "Locks of Love". To also follow your lead, I will allow the highest bidder to lop off me locks. Oh Dam. I'm gonna need a lot of rum.

I'm thinking of cutting my hair after PiP... Not sure if I'd want someone ter butcher it AT PiP tho.....

[Lily Alexander]

Aww Patrick, it won't be so bad. Besides we'll be among friends. I think

In case anyone else is interested in donating their hair and are unsure about the requirements, I pulled this off the Locks of Love website.

http://www.locksoflove.org/

DONATION GUIDELINES

Please Note: Anyone can cut your hair as long as the guidelines listed below are followed. We encourage all of our donors to go to a salon they are already familiar with to ensure their comfort when donating.

GUIDELINES FOR ACCEPTABLE DONATIONS

* Hair that is colored or permed is acceptable.

* Hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail or braid.

* Hair that has been bleached (usually this refers to highlighted hair) is not usable. If unsure, ask your stylist.

* Hair that is swept off of the floor is not usable.

* Hair that is shaved off and not in a ponytail or braid is not usable.

* We cannot accept dreadlocks. Our manufacturer is not able to use them in our children’s hairpieces. We also cannot accept wigs, falls, hair extensions or synthetic hair.

* Layered hair is acceptable if the longest layer is 10 inches.

* Layered hair may be divided into multiple ponytails.

* Curly hair may be pulled straight to measure the minimum 10 inches.

* 10 inches measured tip to tip is the minimum length needed for a hairpiece.

* Please Note: Shorter hair will be separated from the ponytails and sold to offset the manufacturing costs. Although the shorter hair cannot be used in the hairpieces, it still greatly helps to reduce costs.

* Gray hair will be accepted and sold to offset the manufacturing costs.

HOW TO DONATE

* Hair must be in a ponytail or braid before it is cut.

* Hair must be clean and completely dry before it is mailed in.

[Silkie McDonough]

I will be sober before I cut anyone's hair. Additionally I did not say how I would amputate the tail from the lady's head.

As to you M.A.d'Dogge ...if Syren wins ...she will not be at PiP ...Syren is a good friend of mine, Who do you think Syren will have wielding that sabre?

As to creativity ...I'm thinking ...I'm thinking.

When does the bidding end?

[theM.A.dDogge]

not sure when the bidding should end...i'm thinkin to leave it open for "last minute" bids once we all git down there...i also think it should be on sunday...the last day....would need to clear some time on the scvhedule...anyone know how to git a hold of those Bone Island folks??

anyone have a guillatine???

[Silkie McDonough]

Funny, that same thought went through my mind but I like Lilly too much to make it that close of a chop and I don't have the time to make a special one for just hair. Hmmm ...I have however recently acquired a sizable meat cleaver ....hmmmm

[Lily Alexander]

Guillotine?? Meat cleaver????? Oh my. I think I better start drinking now

I agree Sunday would be a good day for it. During or after the pig roast?

[Black Syren]

Beware D'Dogge im horrid at wielding a cutlass...I tend to close my eyes when i lop things off...

And since I cannot attend this year Lily will cut in my stead...

[Fayma Callahan]

MadDogge- Spike with the Bone Island Buccaneers email: spikekeywest@yahoo.com

He's pretty good about getting back to folks, but if'n ye have any trouble, let me know and I'll call him.

Mwahahaha.......................

[Patrick Hand]

Yah know... a hair cut wit a cutlass don't sound too bad.... hey... that's how I cut me birfday cake this year.....

But th' problem be..... how do I know that their cutlass will be sharp...... Heck... I don't want alla me hair(s) pulled out by th' roots by some dull ill-prepared shoddy hackster..... given nough rum I might not notice..... but wit a lack O rum, I will pull out me cutlass... and then we have 'nother donation a' hair......

Wonderin, if this should only be a Pyrate/Pub thing... or if we can get more money making it a little more public.....not that they would care... but maybe....?

(Note to self.... sharpen up th' cutlass, so it will cut hair.....hey.... just use mine.. it's at least sharp...)

[Silkie McDonough]

Hmmm ...I bought a new pair of what I call my "sharp & oilies" ....well that is what the box said ...never been used. That could work well.
