-----------------------------------

Mary appeared at the front desk for her assignment. She was lead to a lighted room where two executives from the Roverton Company waited with a photographer.

"Ah! I see they DID have a model with very long hair over at Bean Modeling!" grinned one executive.

"Hi. I'm Mary." she stammered as she pushed a length of hair aside and over her shoulder.

"Mary, I'm Bill Sleuth. This job pays $500. Here is your contract." he said nicely as he handed her the contract.

"$500!!! WOW!!" thought Mary to herself as she quickly signed the contract without thinking since this was her first modeling assignment.

"That was easy, Bill!" said the photographer.

"I told you there would be no difficulties if we used a lesser known model." beamed Bill.

Mary was lead to the lights where she posed with her long hair free and holding the new product the company wanted to introduce. It was a powerful cordless hair clipper meant for long battery life with re-sharpening blades meant to cut through the thickest of hair. Mary was somewhat nervous holding such an item so close to her cherished tresses.

For the next set, Mary was required to change into matching tight short shorts in a color matching the new product with a clingy white tank top. Marry complied without a hindrance.

For the third set, Mary was asked to remove the tank top.

"I really don't do nudes." stammered Mary.

"Your contract states that you will comply with our photographer's wishes. We plan to advertise in men's magazines as well as mainstream media. Now, Mary, off with the top. If you want, fold your arms over your breasts if it makes you feel better." stated Bill.

Mary complied with the third set of pictures.

"What do you think?" asked Bill of the photographer.

"I have one idea that might make this ad have that certain eye drawing power!" he gleamed.

"Which is?" pondered Bill.

"Have Mary whack off one side of that long thick hair with your clippers and pose with the things with her arms folded over her breasts! Have the rest of her long hair drape over her arms in the background." said the photographer.

Mary couldn't believe her ears!

"Brilliant! Mary, the clipper is fully charged. Cut the side of your hair closest to us." said Bill.

Mary knew she was waggled into this contract because she didn't read it. She was also unaware of any rights she might have and needed the pay. She turned on the powerful machine and took it to the left side of her hair above her ear. BZZZBZZZCHZZZ! went the clipper as the #3 guard blasted easily through her undefended tresses and behind her ear. Four feet of hair fell to the floor.

"Even that out a little by taking off that long part over her face." said the photographer as Mary began to cry.

"Quick! I want to capture this moment while it's fresh!" pleaded the photographer as Bill cut more of Mary's hair.

Mary was left with a short buzzed section of hair above her ear. A shorter section from her center part wasn't long enough to cover the buzzed section and hung crooked over her forehead.  Tears reflected the camera's flash.

"PERFECT!!!!!!" shouted the photographer at the finished product as with Mary, her pouting lips, her tears, and her shorn hair, caused by the new clipper. The as was a huge success, but Mary was finished as a model.

Mary stood in the girl's restroom at her office job the next morning looking at herself in a short buzzed haircut with longer wisps hanging in her face and from the top. It would be a long time for her to grow her hair back to it's once glorious splendor, all for a measly $500!

Next, Scorned in love, the hair goes!
