You've gotta love the New York Daily News for bringing us stories we'd be more likely to see on the Tyra Banks Gabaliciousfestasticshow:
For 45 years, Darka Jakymchuk refused to cut her hair, growing the auburn tresses down to her ankles and pinning them up in an enormous bun each morning. .. She wept and trembled as the stylist chopped off her crowning glory - but was grinning ear to ear minutes later at her bouncy, chin-length do.
This would be much more heart-warming and maybe somewhere close to newsworthy had she donated her hair to cancer patients or children with alopecia, but instead she "left with a giant braid in a gold box."
