UPDATE!
My hair has passed on. It has expired and gone to meet its maker. It's shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS EX-HAIR!!
I intended to post tons of pictures of the whole losing-my-hair process, but multiple camera mishaps occurred to thwart my plans. However, I finally have an "After" pic.
Thanks go out to every amazing person who donated. This was a great cause and you're all awesome. My poor naked head thanks you, the kids thank you, and I thank you. Special ultra thanks go out to KT Fitz, who took one for the team and raised $200 extra dollars by sacrificing her locks as well.

My hair vanity is legend: I've had it straight, curly, short, long, pink, purple, blue, orange, black, brown, red, blonde, spiky, streaked, and once I put it in a faux hawk that I immediately regretted. But only YOU (and a pair of clippers with a dream) can make me bald.
I can't promise I'm going to look good, but I can promise to wear my baldness with maximum swagger. I can also promise that if we reach this modest goal, I will be the first (to my knowledge) female Spider Jerusalem to stomp and bluster through Penguicon.
No kind of bald sucks as hard as cancer. I think we can all agree on that. Let's do this! For the kids.
My awesome hair comes off in full public view on Friday night at Penguicon. If anyone wants to do this with me, sign up and let's get bald together!
Thanks to everyone for donating. Seriously, you guys rock.
