Mum peruses The Current Events in Education blog, and although we pay extremely little attention to 'celebrities', today mum decided that Britney's Hair was a nifty short little thought activity we could do together.
So after checking out the article: Britney's Mane Event: Day 2 Hair for sale? we're considering the suggested questions:
1. Why would Britney have done this?
Cricket: annoyance, frustration, separation, any reason.
Fish: maybe one of her songs went wrong, if she was married maybe she got divorced, depression,
Who knows, any reasons that anyone else might have could be equally valid for Britney. Wanting a change or celebrating a change, expressing 'letting go' after a relationship separation (cutting them out of your hair eh Ceccy?), or letting go of a previous image or attachment to appearance.
2. What can we learn about the nature of fame from Britney's behavior?
Cricket: Nothing.
Fish: Nothing.
Nothing, even non-famous people shave their head.
3. What is hair? Check out Wikipedia?
"a filamentous outgrowth of dead cells from the skin, found only on mammals. "
4. Is it actually fair to call Britney's behavior absurd? Why/why not?
Definition of absurd: inconsistent with reason or logic or common sense;
Cricket: No, because deciding to change one's hairstyle is not illogical, or unreasonable or uncommon.
Fish: No, because.
No: If she wants to shave her head it is up to her, it is not absurd. Just shaving your head is not absurd.
