Shaving Private [iippo]



On 20th of April, I got my head shaved as a sponsored event to raise monies for our degree show. My friend Kim did the shaving, while various spectators-slash-donors helped her out by taking turns in clipping a lock.

2007-04-20 [windowframe]: tattoo now :D

2007-04-20 [iippo]: Indeedely :D You must be there. When?

2007-04-20 [windowframe]: Ehm. Dunno. Do you know of a tattoo place in coventry?

2007-04-20 [Draugluin]: Lucky bugger >.< I miss my shaved head XC

2007-04-21 [Isilando]: (should say it here too...)
The way you enjoy that is scary!!!!!!

liek oh my jesuses!!1!!1!

2007-04-21 [ally]: Haha you did it! *applauds* Looks good on you actually :)

2007-04-21 [iippo]: Thank you everybody for your lovely comments, (that means you too isi :P)
I know some tattoo places in Coventry, but I don't what kind of quality places they are. But I do have a friend who has more extensive knowledge, so I'll ask her to recommend a place.

2007-04-21 [spincrus]: Was it worth the money you guys raised at least? :D

2007-04-22 [Yncke]: *bookmarks* Photo references of the bald female head. Thanks [iippo]. :)

(I think it must take a hell of a lot character to shave off such long hair.)

2007-04-22 [iippo]: U-hu spinc, we got about 150 pounds (still unsure, 'cause not everyone's paid what they promised yet). But from my point of view, it'd be worth it to do it for free :D And when it grows long enough, I'll shave it again and donate the hair to whoever it is that makes wigs for cancer patients.

Keep the page on watch, too, [Yncke], because I'll put more pictures up at some point :D

2007-04-23 [Isilando]: I have to admit I find it cool..

2007-04-23 [iippo]: Yay! Thank you. And one day you must come to iippo-Finland and we can go to conservative stores together and pretend to be transvestite gender-blenders. :3

2007-04-23 [Isilando]: Somehow I believe that this would not strike that bad in Finland : )

We could try it over here with actual life-threatening dangers : P

*Edit* but yea, I am not doging the invitation or anything ; 0

2007-04-24 [Yncke]: Thanks for the extra shots, [iippo]! :)

2007-04-24 [iippo]: Np. I expect to get more pictures from the shave-event when other people give me pics they took there.
Silvie, friend says to not trust Coventry tattoo shops and recommends considering Brummie ones. She mentioned Micky B's, but that she'll ask a friend for more info. :3

2007-04-24 [windowframe]: Eh, the one's in Cannock are better than the ones in B'ham.

2007-04-24 [iippo]: Cannock it is then.

2007-04-24 [windowframe]: now get on messe. :P

2007-04-24 [iippo]: *gets on*

2007-04-26 [Mom]: You're gorgeous!!! With or without hair you're amazing. This doesn't surprise me abit...the fact you did it for some one else. *Kisses the top of your head*

2007-04-26 [iippo]: ! *loves t3h [Mom]* Thank you! ^__^ That comment really made my day :3

2007-04-26 [Mom]: I love you too Sweetie...*Smooch*

2007-05-02 [Bonnie Chérie]: you are insane! but i truly admire your un-vain-yness ... i think you get my point ^^

ROCK ON! <3

2007-05-05 [Teufelsweib]: O__O ....you effin rock =p

2007-05-05 [iippo]: :D
Vain-ness did kind of play a part I must admit. I get heckled a lot by men on the street, cars honk horns when they pass etc... >.< So I reckoned a tall bald girl will get heckled somewhat less than a tall blonde girl. :D Or at least by a different type of heckler (now some pretty cool kinds of people come up to talk o.O)
But then again, I think I look better without hair. o.O

2007-05-16 [Just.Kate]: I think what you did was amazingly selfless, and brave, and I applaud you for it. The one time I clipped my hair to military standards, I caught a lot of varying responses, from catcalls to fuck yous, so I know how bad the heckling can be. But keep courage, and who knows? Maybe you have unwittingly found your way to be uniquely you. :)

2007-05-17 [Isilando]: *reads "Kieli" >.< *

2007-05-17 [Just.Kate]: o.O?

2007-05-17 [Isilando]: Oh that's what it writes... Oh well, Iippo will know : D

2007-05-18 [Just.Kate]: Thats what "it" writes? O.o;;

2007-05-18 [iippo]: *is also confused* Tongue, isi?

2007-05-18 [Isilando]: it -> the text //
iippoz, yes. I see finnish all around >.<

2007-05-19 [Just.Kate]: -patpats Isi gently- o.O;

2007-05-19 [iippo]: I'm sorry Isi, I haven't been programming very much lately so it might be that I have lozt the ability to understand very condensed text (I hope this isn't so :( )

2007-05-19 [Isilando]: I'd call it "very lazy text" : )

2007-06-13 [Kayne]: It's ugly. :(

2007-06-13 [Isilando]: You better mean my lazy text : P

2007-06-19 [smakeupfx]: I'd still cat-call and honk  ;-)
Great progress shots iippo

2007-06-19 [iippo]: I realise now that I probably should have kept progress shotting the growth too - you wouldn't believe how fast it is growing! :O Ah well, maybe after next shave ;)

2007-06-19 [smakeupfx]: ah, so you're going to shave again?  well do weekly shots then, would make a good vid ;-)

2007-06-19 [iippo]: I'll never be hairy again! :B Well I probably will, since I'll not shave before the graduation, and possibly not in Finland. But I likes it short, it's so easy and pretty. ^^; (:D

2007-06-20 [Isilando]: You people are dirty

2007-06-20 [smakeupfx]: oh no, iippo's "clean" ... shaven  ;-)

2007-06-20 [Isilando]: And talks so openly about it. She can't be from Finland ; )

2007-06-21 [iippo]: Why not? People from Finland run around naked in the snow all the time... We have no secrets.

2007-06-21 [Isilando]: >.< Yea, and sauna... *changes statement* she is from Finland...

2007-06-21 [smakeupfx]: haha, here the sun shines all the time, no snow, and no one is ever naked ;-P

2007-06-22 [iippo]: It seems to me that we live in a world of paradox. People run around naked in the snow, nobody is naked in sunshine, the most famous rap artist is white and the best golf player is black (sue my non-PC ass for all I care :P), the British tv cencored scenes from a Mel Brooks movie (that one still makes me wtf)...

2007-06-22 [smakeupfx]: Paradox, Tao, tis all the same to me ;-)  I love it when those sterotypes don't work, like Tiger Woods, tho Eminem never seemed the best to me, but that doesn't make you wrong, there is always http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoN6XfyQsr4

pip is my vote for best rap artist... english and white! even more so hehehehe

2007-06-22 [iippo]: I don't care for rap in the least. But it was a paradox that came to mind.

2007-06-22 [smakeupfx]: hehe, I know, me either, but you should check out Pip, made me almost like it ;-)

2007-06-22 [iippo]: It doesn't happen to be the "thou shalt always kill" -guy? :D

2007-06-22 [smakeupfx]: it is!  am I already passé ?  hehehehe, well, I thought it was great fun, simple and clever...but then, I'm kind of simple anyway ;-)

2007-06-23 [iippo]: I must admit though, that song is an amazing piece of art, even if it is rap (but is it really? I'd say it's spoken word almost...)

2007-06-23 [smakeupfx]: I agree :-)  that's where rap comes from tho, but like everything else there's good and bad I guess. My friend used to say "just because it's art doesn't mean it's good" ;-)
