Check, please…
Eeeeew.
man, I just can’t figure people out sometimes.
Why “Eeeeew”? It’s not like it’s toenail clippings or ear wax or his appendix or something. It’s pretty famous hair. It would be like if you bought some ZZ Top beard whiskers.
The real drag is for $40,000 you get so LITTLE of it! That’s like $500 per hair!
Things are getting really fucking weird.
“eeeeew” because you’re buying someone’s hair for no practical reason, which gives the appearance of an unhealthy obsession.
In this instance it was a corporation who were buying it for a) a charitable cause, and b) because, obviously, it will increase in value and gain them foot traffic.
It isn’t some crazy, obsessive cat-lady buying stuff like this.
kinda is…
In what way?
I wouldn’t buy ZZ Top beard whiskers either. Yuck.
Hey now, I’m not responsible. Ask anyone who knows me, they’ll tell ya! Also, why is there a picture of Mary Lou Retton screaming in the upper left of your page? 
Oooh! Are you Mary Lou Retton!??!
That was a great tale, but I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy yourself that much. Still, it was an adventure, and no one was killed or crippled, so there’s that.
Oh come on, you BEGGED ME. ::re-reads quote:: Oh, no you didn’t, lol.
So I have that goin’ for me which is nice.
Appearance?
OOOOOOOOOH! It’s not that it’s HAIR that bothers you.
In that case, why is it weirder than wanting someone’s autograph? That’s one I really don’t understand. “It’s someone’s name on a piece of paper: whoop-de-doo!”
Because an autograph isn’t a body part?
No offense, voguevixen but, um, don’t you think you’re taking the Bieber obsession a little too far?
Don’t listen to the haters, vixen. Everything I’ve seen and read about Justin tells me that he’s a legitimately cool guy. You missed your chance to see him that time, but I think he’s the kind of person who’d respond well to a personal visit at his home if you took the time to explain things. Go for it.
everything you’ve seen and read has been carefully planned and scripted so you would think precisely this.
So you’re saying the tattoo was obsessive?
I don’t think you read that all the way to the end. It was a pretty sweet burn.
Because ink on paper is basically a way to prove “Look, I met this person.” It’s a connection to someone. It’s normal.
Collecting someone’s hair makes it seem like you want to make a black magic voodoo shrine to them in your closet. And that’s under the best circumstances. When that someone is a minor, and you’re a grown-ass-woman, it adds an entire other level of creepiness that paints you as the kind of person that drives around in a windowless van w/ “FREE CANDY” written on the outside.
Whoa whoa whoa. You’re acting like I’m digging through his trash for used band-aids or something. I think he’s a neat guy and think it would be fun to meet him. If he voluntarily wants to auction off his hair for charity I think that’s a creative thing to do and think it would be a unique item to have. I’m not following him around with a chloroform-soaked rag or something. This is merely a pleasant diversion from my mind-numbing, soul-crushing life.
Second, you guys are thinking of Justin Bieber.
I’m talking about Justin Bieber. For crying out loud. He’s like 4 weeks away from being 18. Besides, he’s Canadian and hasn’t been a minor for nearly two years by their laws (and apparently they only just recently bumped the age of consent up from 14 a few years ago - jeez, Canada!)
Third, what do you have against voodoo exactly? :dubious:
