Doing weird things to your body for money

<< < (2/3) > >>

Social Bacon:
I did this with my high school a few years ago, mainly inspired by my little cousin who was sick with leukemia, I grew my hair out for about five months and then let a friend of mine go at it with an electric razor in front of the school. I managed to raise about $800 which was donated to the Make a Wish Foundation. I suppose it's a bit more difficult to do if you're not in high school but try looking for a local cancer charity, odds are they host an event like this at least once a year, that way you can do the head shave in front of a large and excited crowd. And if your hair is long enough you can donate it after you cut it to make wigs for people going through radiation therapy.

Somehow I had expected this to be about prostitution by now.
I'll come back later.

Gilead:
Next movember I am doing it in reverse, I'm going to grow a horrible moustache and refuse to shave it until a certain amount of charity donations are given.

tania:
i have a friend with lots of tattoos and one of them is the word "its" on her ankle. when i asked her about it, she told me about a writer named shelley jackson who had a project in which volunteers were recruited to each get a tattoo of a different word from a short story of hers. the story was never published in print, it exists in tattoo form on about 2100 people instead. on her website is a map showing the different cities of residence of each of the words.

not technically done for money but i thought this was a pretty cool thing anyway.

ViolentDove:
My god that is awesome.

I'd love to check 2100 people out from the library some time and have a read.
