In less than a week, on April 19th, 2025, a dear friend of mine will be shaving my head. It’s a kink of hers, ‘removing a woman’s crowning glory’, fueled by a mix of vicious emotional sadism and watching V for Vendetta at a formative age. She’s actually paying for me to go to a hair salon the day before, to get my hair dyed a beautiful punky shade of neon green, a look I’ve wanted to try but never actually attempted. I’ll get one night to enjoy it before it’s taken away from me. Her stated goal is to make me feel as beautiful as possible before ruining it, taking it all away from me. Somewhere in the brainstorming, the idea to make commemorative t-shirts was floated, and in true ‘give a mouse a cookie’ fashion, the idea to have a QR code on the t-shirt that links to some page documenting the event naturally followed. This is that page, shuffled into the half-alive personal website of mine. Here’s where I’ll collect thoughts and pictures, before and after the event.

Here’s my first writing about the thing, written four days before it happens/happened!

Ok the thing happened, so I’m updating!

Here is a photo gallery of all the documentation of the thing

Here is a summary of what all actually happened Saturday night

Here is a writing dedicated to the amazing woman who put me through all this hell

And here are some more philosophical/miscellaneous thoughts about the experience and digging into how I actually feel about this shit.

Here’s where to leave a note if you liked reading about this

I’m going to get more photos of the actual headshaving up when I get them back, and I’ll probably revisit and write a little more as I go, but for now we’re in a pretty good place!!! Love you all, if you see me in public say hi and tell me you liked reading about this, and I’ll blush insanely hard, promise
