If I win, can my grand prize be that Posi gives War Witch a haircut with the flowbee?
Beastyle... I would stay away from Posi while he has that flowbee... This just sounds all kinds of dangerous!

Actually, I was just thinking, "Man, my hair is getting long." The game time, I don't mind paying for. Can I just be flown to Paragon Studios and get the haircut?

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
So this was the "most unusual prize I ever signed off on" tweet from Posi a few days ago.
What if we don't have hair? :'(
Flowbee Scalp Massage?
Yeah, 5 years of subscription time sounds sweet, but I have hair down to my waist, and having it cut short is just NOT an option for me. Seriously, I've never had a short haircut that I didn't have to fight with in order to get it to look good, or that didn't look awful on me. And if I won, I really wouldn't want to have to wear a wig for the next few years while my hair grew out again. And thanks to my work (Security), I can't have a "silly" hairstyle either- no strange mohawks or weedwhacker jobs allowed.
So this whole haircut thing is a real dealbreaker for me. Unless we're allowed to opt out, or can opt just to have a couple of inches of dead ends taken off.

You could probably make requests of Posi for a trim...but that's between you and whatever FSM you pray to. The man is *not* a licensed beautician.

As a Bald-American, I feel discriminated against. I mean, what happens if there's no hair to cut? Am I to be scalped by a flowbee? Or, in the vent that I win, will the prize be passed onto another? I'm so upset by this that if I had hair, it would start falling out!
*sigh*
I guess it's time to slather mayonaise all over my head for a reason other than it being Tuesday night again.

And I can't participate *pouts*
Oh well... good luck to those in North America, already seeing some good costumes there

I rarely have enough hair that it could be cut with a flowbee. Besides which, I refuse to fly.

Consider me confused as to the grand prize...is the intent to discourage entrants? That doesn't seem like a good publicity decision....

See my issue is ... I don't have hair. I am bald. Perhaps he could trim my beard....
I usually keep my head shaved so that a Flowbee wouldn't do anything. But my goatee, that's a different story. I've got it down to my sternum. He can have a go at that.
