Three months or so ago, reports began to surface that a sheep and a deer were carrying on a love affair at a Chinese zoo. Well, yesterday, they "decided" to make it official, and got married in a Valentine's Day wedding ceremony at the zoo. The male sheep, who's called Long Hair, and the female deer, Pure Child, received a wedding bath and a feast of carrots and grass, which they shared with their guests (i.e., other animals from the park). There was apparently one small scare when Pure Child got nervous and left her "groom" at the altar, but the two managed eventually to find their way through the "I Do Gate" that the zoo staff had built. Oh, and if you thought this is one of those innocent animal friendships that won't be consummated, you'd be wrong. These two reportedly get it on, cross-species style.

Writer Liz Jones has a story in the Daily Mail in which she recounts her emotions surrounding the chopping-off of her waist-length hair. Jones calls her hair a "split-ended curtain behind which I could hide." She says "It was just a long, heavy, hairy version of a burka, out of which two big dark eyes would peep, nervously, at the world." At best, Jones was known as :"the girl with the long hair." At worst, she was called "the witch." Her husband hated her hair, telling her it felt like a horse's mane and made her look like "an old hag." She grew it longer just to spite him — and then she (thankfully!) divorced him. Then? Because she was "holding on" to her youth while "hurtling towards the age of 50," she got her hair cut. More »
