Do you think Crystal Gayle will ever donate her long, long hair to Locks of Love, the organization that provides hairpieces to disadvantaged children with long-term medical hair loss?

I guess she didn't. It looks like that mane just kept getting trimmed. Locks of Love has probably been SALIVATING over Rapunzel Gayle's hair for a very, very long time. In fact, I recently saw the picture below in the Nashville News Gazette Inquirer Sentinel that kind of proves me right.

| Pink Pants is about to be Locked Up For Love, youknowhatI'msayin? |
The scary scene above apparently took place at a photo shoot in Nashville. I'm not sure how that "Locks of Love" weirdo in hot pink pants got access to the studio. I bet Crystal Gayle was scared, but you'd never know it! The lady can smile while being threatened with VERY LARGE scissors! I guess all those years in show business have brought some strange people across her path. She knows how to deal with all kinds.

| SIDENOTE: I'm really confused. Didn't she have a song with the line "Don't it make my brown eyes blue"? Her eyes ARE blue. |

Maybe it has to be a requirement. The hair donation won't be acceptable unless it is accompanied with a big wad of lint. The big Locks of Love warehouse in West Palm Beach will have one side full of human hair and the other side with lint. Nice image, right? Maybe after the kids get tired out from jumping in the Lint House, they can take a tour of the Locks & Lint for Love warehouse. I bet they have a party room that wouldn't cost much to rent!
The only drawback to Locks of Love taking on Lint for Love as a side business is that it will give people more reasons to feel bad about themselves for not donating. You see when people tell me their donating their tresses to needy people, this is how I feel:

My teenaged daughter donated her hair last year to Locks of Love. A worthy cause, for sure!
bwahahahahahaha...I did not realize how artistic you are! love Lips...aka chick with pink pants!
Great cause...I mean really what does one person need with all that hair! So ya know I had to google... ask jeeves answered -- How long is her hair? 62 inches.
I remember when I was little, I wanted to grow my hair as long as Crystal Gayle's! I only ever made just past my shoulders!
I hope that Locks of Love receive a lot of donations. I'm experiencing "the little black dot feeling" right now too, but my hair is just growing back after my short hair phase...I really don't have enough to donate!
I have it on good authority.... that ALL of her hair is really long.... just sayin.
I have to admit, I had no idea who she was until you mentioned that song.
And a warehouse of hair? Do they do that? It sounds like a serial killer's wet dream.
I cut my hair really short couple of months ago. Wish I was able to donate my hair, but it's way too damaged to do so. I'm trying to grow my hair out now without dying it or anything and possibly getting a healthy chop later on and donate it. That's a goal I'd love to succeed in.
She's a complete farce! Totally has blue eyes! Alert the media, let's take her down and cut her hair. All in the name of justice. :)
I'm sorry, but after a certain age, long hair looks weird on a woman...she has reached that age and then some!
My granddaughter donated her hair when she graduated from high school and decided to get a short haircut for college.
Lint of Love! :-)
I'd also like to donate my leftovers for love...

Isn't Crystal around 60 about now? At some point, ya gotta have outgrown a hair style? no?
Great post Kelley ...lint for love is fabulous!
I have a lot of lint to donate. I try to figure out why there is any clothes left in the dryer if they lose that much volume each drying. Seems like eventually they would evaporate completely into a final pile of lint. Maybe they have and I haven't figured out what I'm missing yet.
She sang it so much it DID make her brown I blue. She's so sad with those blue eyes.
Really super long hair makes me gag, for some reason. There's just so *much* of it. Vile. I couldn't even glimpse at Crystal Gayle when I was younger bc I was so skeeved out by her.
Also, you as a black dot?
Hot.
---I don't know what is yuckier...super long hair or dirty lint :)) X
I was shocked when I learned about all of the random rules Locks of Love has! Like - they don't take color treated hair... Not that i know from having wanted to donate myself, because my hair color is all natural....
Unless Crystal has age defying hair - locks of love won't take dyed hair...I know this because my multi-toned locks are off-limits to them. My 16 year old is getting ready to donate for the fourth time - yep, she makes me feel a tad smaller than your little dot - heart of gold she has!! We like to think that her hair is out there hugging (the heads) of several other kids!
Interesting blog. Amusing. Clever. Bring on the wit!

Hey, don't be knocking on Crystal. Someone has to compete with Elvira you know. LoL
Seriously, L.O.L. is a wonderful cause and I wish more people considered it. My 16 year old nephew even donates. (And puts up with a ton of the 'look like a girl' jokes as he lets it grow! LoL)
Thanks for the lint of love option. I'm so on top of that! LoL
Great illustrations!!!!! Love it
My god, Kelley, sometimes...you just hit it all over the place.
This had me dying.
The unauthorized LOL employee, all of it.
THis one...solid gold.
LOVED IT, and loved that you made me laugh out loud
Going to read it again...b/c I am humor dependent.
And I don't care who knows it.
By the way I'm the black dot.
That killed me. Softly.
(But that was Roberta Flack, I think. Not Crystal Gayle. DANG it.)
I'm all for making myself and my house less disgusting in the name of charity.
I think my shower drain has a good amount of both lint and hair - any takers???!!
Kelley, sometimes I think you might be a nut.
A praline, even.
Too funny.
That's my Bo-Belley...always the thinker-outside-of-the-boxer...always the entrepreneur. <----Did I spell that correctly?
True story: My boys were just asking about naval fuzz this morning. Makes me wish I had read this post before then so that I could have used it as a reference for lint. Ah, well. My linty loss.
WOW you're right I found at least a small toupee in my 'gut button'!! My daughter has given to Locks of Love twice but I don't have enough hair to spare for anybody!! W.C.C.
KKell, first, we have to protect you from being abducted by the terrorists. Your weird-thinking, out-of-the-box mind could really provide them with some unique ideas. We don't need that. Second, this was totally hilarious and creative and what we've come to expect from you. "Lint For Love" is a genius idea, but only in the comedic sense, sort of like "Toe Cheese for The Poor." That's a derivative joke, so if you're laughing at it, give yourself the credit KKell. Love your posts!
Crystal is a beautiful woman! If I had her long famous locks I might be selfish with them too...
I think you are a funny little dot. :)
ok. truly. i had a little doll of Crystal Gale when I was a tweener. Not a barbie, it was smaller, but had those plastic legs & arms & stuff. But the hair!! I was obsessed with braiding hair at the time, and my momma thought me asking the lady in the laundromat if I could braid hers was a bit much. Hence. The doll. Sigh. I never ever once cut her hair, either. The HORROR!
My mother loves Crystal Gayle. We listened to her RECORD all the time. Record. We had a record player. I feel kinda old. And, maybe someone just made her brown eyes permanently blue...I think we need more investigation into this. So, you get on that.
When I was a kid, I would get confused when I saw Crystal Gale on TV cuz my mom had really long brown hair. Sometimes I wondered if she was my mom!
I love Crystal Gayles hair, it is gorgeous. I think judging her on her choice to keep her hair long is wrong. We all have the freedom to make the choices about how we keep our hair style. Your choice may be to keep your hair short, long, or to donate it, her choice is to keep it long. In the Bible it says "a womans hair is her crowning glory". I thank God for my glory, my hair is mid-thigh length as well as my mothers. My sisters hair is mid-calf length. We choose not to cut our hair, and that is a choice we have a RIGHT to make just like anyone who cuts or donates their hair. LOVING MY CROWNING GLORY :)
thanks for share.
