An Edina woman in Copenhagen for the U.N. climate conference as part of a youth group joined 30 others in shaving their heads outside the conference center on Friday, the last scheduled day of the gathering.
Valida Prentice, 24, who traveled to Copenhagen two weeks ago as an accredited observer, and the others each held a sign outside the conference center that explained why they made this symbolic gesture.
"Shaving my head can symbolize a lot," Prentice said in a prepared statement, "the ugly negotiating process, the bad decisions made by negotiators, or the catastrophic changes that unabated climate change could bring about. But for me, my shaved head symbolizes a promise of new growth in the international climate movement to secure a fair and binding international agreement on climate change."

No hair, no boobs, acne ....this chicklet has everything going for her. I’m sure she’ll find her heartthrob soon, maybe at the ASPCA.

Yeah, but I'd bet she doesn't shave her pits or her legs.
And I'd bet she smells worse then a coyote.
I'm just sayin'....

Gotta hand it to the babe. If she was going for a symbol of "ugly", she hit it right on the *head*.

So, let me get this right...the news media can’t hardly make themselves talk about the 1 million plus people who marched on Washington recently. However, they are more than happy to highlight this person, who is a memeber of a group of 30??????????

Reminds me of Sinéad O'Connor. Didn't her career really take off after she shaved her head? No, maybe not. I must be thinking of Jean Seberg. No, not her either. You are thinking of Britany Spears
