Letter From The Editor

Hola, readers!

Just a quick note to let you know that last night I carried through with my threat to shave my head for the Leukemia Foundation, and I am now sweetly buzzcut all over. Except for a small patch on the top of my head, which is somehow slightly longer that the rest of my hair and results in me rockin’ the Alfafa from The Little Rascals look.

Thanks for all the kind words of support, folks who emailed in! And thanks to those who sponsored me in this quest for baldiness. You are too awesome. It’s probably not too late to throw some cash in the direction of the Leukemia Foundation though, so if you’ve got a credit card and feel like donating now that you know I’ve actually gone through with this thing, go nuts.

Interestingly, a friend commented last night after the shave “Wow, I feel like I’ve already seen you with no hair”, so spot on was the brilliant Elspeth’s caricature of my shaved new appearance.

Another nice bonus of having no pesky ponytail getting in the way of things? Hats, dudes. I can wear a whole assortment of headgear I’d never been able to comfortably don in the past!

THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING. HAVE A FUCKING SWEET WEEKEND.

Sure, Yacht Rock is soooo last year (soooo the year before last year, actually) but I don’t care. I can wear a captain’s cap now to my heart’s content and I am bloody well pleased about it.

PS: I feel totally Renae Lawrence-y at the moment. Big ups to my Kerkoban Prison homegirls!
