My urge to cut of my hair (waistlong dreadlocks, if you've never seem me IRL) is getting stronger every day. I mostly blame the (warm to hot) weather (and of course YAPC::Europe)...
I'm still not sure if I want to keep a few dreadlock attached to my head, or get rid of all of them. And what kind of media coverages I should make of cutting my hair. There'll be at least simple before/after photos, but I think it would be fun to cut the dreads from the end (or beginning?, well, the looose end not growing out of my head..), only taking away a few milimeters per cut, and taking a photo after each cut. This could result in a nice stop-motion movie, especially if played reverse (i.e. going from short hair to looog dreads in a few seconds). Downsides of this aproach are that it will take ages to do, plus there won't be any souvenir-dreads left...

mmm, souvenir-dreads for auction...
I think that you could safely get away with cutting off a few dreadlocks whole without it being noticable, then do the time lapse trick on all the rest. That way, I think, you get to have your cake and eat it.
My thoughts exactly. You could cut off a few from anywhere on the scalp beforehand, more or less, and no-one would be any the wiser.
Otherwise I think the time-lapse photography idea is great. Just remember to jab your head with a really large metal spike attached to the wall or something, to ensure that your head doesn't shift in the frame, otherwise the effect will be lost
...to actually auction body parts.
I wonder what body part will first get auctioned…
… on second thought, forget I said anything.
