INTERVIEW 2017
"For many people the quest for money and the power it brings intoxicates their souls until the day they die. For me it has been more basic. Money affords me the opportunity to intimately realize my attraction for women with alternative hair. So I worked diligently to build my wealth to the point that I no longer had to worry about what other people would think about my peculiarities. If you have enough money, you go from being weird to being eccentric."
"Like Howard Hughes," quipped the interviewer. "Please continue."
"I developed this fetish at age thirteen, when I saw the "Bill Boggs Midday Show" with bald women. All through my adolescence in the 80s, I looked through books and magazines for the rare pictures. In college a few girls went punk and I would make sure to catch a glimpse from afar, but I never had the guts to talk with them about their hair. Even when my girlfriend, Jen, noticed my attention towards one girl with a buzz cut, I denied my interest. Years later we reconnected for a while, and she told me she would have cut her hair back in college if I asked. During our tryst in 2000 I asked and eventually bribed her with a January trip to Hawaii in return for her arriving in Honolulu with a new buzz cut. After a frigid month in New York she really enjoyed the sun warming her head."
"When was the first time you made a deal with a woman to cut her hair?" the interviewer asked me.
"She was one of my coworkers. On a Friday night back in 1993 after making my first six figures trade, Susan and I went out to celebrate my success that day. We dined on steaks and lobsters, ate a decadent crème briolette, and we drank plenty of Cabernet. We were quite drunk walking around Soho, when we entered one of the boutiques. Browsing around Susan saw a chocolate colored Gucci handbag. She put it over her shoulder and waltzed around the store with a huge smile for at least ten minutes."

"Jack, I would die to walk out of here with this bag," she told me.
"Well, you don't have to die, but we can barter for it." It was either the wine or the power from the money I made that day, but I went for it. "You know how gorgeous I think you are, and this bag brings out a great smile in you. Just one thing would make you look even better. Cut your hair."
"What? These blond locks have turned many heads, since I was a little girl."
"I think your eyes, mouth, ears, and neck line are even sexier than that long mane. I will buy you this bag for how much, $2000? if we go around the corner to that barber shop we passed. And you get a really short pixie."
Susan pondered for a few moments. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail and put the handbag back on her shoulder. "How short?" she asked.
"The back and sides need to be buzzed, but the top can have some length."
"You have a deal, but you better plunk down that Amex before I change my mind." As we left the boutique I came to realize everyone had a price.
The female barber waved me over as Susan and I entered the shop. "Not me tonight, her." I pointed to Susan, as she hopped up into the chair. Her dress rode up her legs, and she did not have a chance to pull it down before the barber caped her. "She will get a razor shave all around her hairline. Then taper it up to the crown. Shorten the top but leave it feminine. She has to go to work on Monday."
"Hey dear, my name is Helen. Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked Susan.
"We made a deal for this Gucci bag," said Susan as she showed Helen her trophy and my bargaining chip.
"That works," said Helen, as I handed her $100 bill.

"She lifted the scissors and started to lop off over a foot of blond silk. Susan sighed seeing her hair fall onto the cape. Helen then proceeded to clipper Susan's neck and above her ears. A razor blade followed removing four inches of stubble up her neckline. That was much higher than I had hoped for. Helen looked at me and smiled appreciating $100 for a few minutes of work. Susan still had plenty of hair on the top that Helen shaped into a feminine style, much like what Pink wears today. "
"By that point I had a raging hard-on and Susan also had her hormones racing. We kissed and groped furiously in the cab and barely got up to her apartment with our clothes on. We made love that night and for the rest of weekend. I could not keep my eyes or hands off her. That Monday she strode into the office with the Gucci on her shoulder, and her nape exposed for the first time since she was a baby. She got plenty of compliments from all the people in the office for both her hair and the bag. For the next two months every Friday we returned to Helen for Susan's haircut. She eventually wound up almost completely bald but for a quarter inch of blond fuzz on top of her head. All this fun cost me another twenty grand in fancy shoes and jewelry, but I sure enjoyed our time together. Susan left the trading business for a career in fashion. She now has two kids, a big job at Macy's, and still a short pixie."
The interviewer followed up with another question. "How did you pursue your passion once Susan was out of your life?"
"I hired many professionals, both models and call girls. I made some films of these women at Helen's barbershop, but I never profited financially from them. Rather than monetary gains, I liked to watch the reactions of strangers staring at a beautiful bald woman walking around the city in their midst. In addition, my libido was in full force. There is nothing like getting a blow job, while holding a shaved scalp. As on-line sites catering to extreme haircuts became more ubiquitous, I saw more of my films popping up. I figured a few of the girls made some additional money from the copies I gave them."
"So, you found this exciting and easy to satisfy your desires."
"Yes, from a physical and visual standpoint, but it was not exciting from a gaming perspective. I made a business deal, but there was no challenge. It had to be more impromptu. I had to figure out new ways into a woman's soul without it being just a payment, so I went back to the old Wall Street axiom of fear and greed. "
