Confirmed thru numerous disreputable sources
[QUOTE=Davey1965]There used to be a few girls with that look a few years ago. There was someone from an agency that worked with the cancer society that wanted people to donate their hair and would give them cash for doing so. More than one of the K girls jumped on that for the money.[/QUOTE]
Actually, from what I hear there's a guy, a monger, a John, one of us, who's been offering the girls money if he lets them cut their hair down to a crew. I heard this from Andrea, Mary and at least one other girl in the past few months. Not coincidentally, I saw someone offering to be generou$ for the freshly-shorn hair of young women on Craigslist recently, and I'd be willing to bet it's the same guy. A little creepy if you ask me - very Silence of the Lambs.
He has been out there awhile.
I also have heard stories of girls being approached by someone to buy their hair over the last couple of years. Usually he has been successful when the girl is hurting for her meds and is desperate. Talked to one girl a couple of months ago that had done this and she felt terrible afterwards. Living day to day as they do can be pretty sad sometimes.
I don't know about this guy but
There is a legit org that does collect hair, although they don't pay for it, to use in making wigs for kids having chemo and/or radiation for cancer and loosing their hair because of it. All 3 of my teenage neices have donated twice already. The girls grow their hair as long as they can and then it is cut just above shoulder length and collected for the charity that runs the program.
I guess it could be possible this guy got involved in this somehow, maybe a relative that needed a wig, and he figures that whatever he pays the street girls is a donation to charity or something. Just speculating here, but everything doesn't always have to have a bad motive.
