A struggling South Betootan TAFE student has revealed to The Advocate this afternoon that she’d be open to raising money by shaving her head – but only if it was in support of her own rampant alcoholism.
Citing that most charities are just rip off merchants that play on the heart strings of the naive and weak, Samantha Taylors-Ross explained that five grand would change her life for the better and if all that stood between her and a pile of cold hard Claude Monet was her hair, it’d be gone in a flash.
“You see, people like Sinead O’Connor and Peter Garrett didn’t shave their heads to get Instagram likes or money for some wok-eyed do-gooder group that pretends to feed or clothe the poor,” she said.
“They did it for money and attention, which is exactly what I’d do. I’d turn that into wine and anxiety before I knew what day it was.”
More to come.
