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."

The Buddist nun look complete with terrible complexion
A little frostbite maybe??
Yea, that will make the world look up and listen. ;-)
Yikes. Don’t let her near a can of gas or a martyr complex will be fulfilled.
I think the headline should read
“Edina woman shaves head because she is a stupid moron”
one thing for sure..that chick has no boyfriend, otherwise she wouldnt be shaving her head.
maybe a girfriend though..
Mass suicide would have been so much more eloquent.
I like the looks of this one better.
That’ll show ‘em! I bet they all rush right back to the table and agree to some big ol’ treaty now that this freak has shaved her head. And she needs to change her diet. Her skin is disgraceful.
I don’t believe that the ‘before’ picture was a whole lot better.....
Does the opinion of an accredited observer carry more weight than the opinion of an unaccredited observer?
"It symbolizes that I'm an idiot, a moron."
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.
Well anyway, everyone in Minnesota will be able to recognize her all winter long while they experience day after day of record low temperatures. She may even get a short whining role on that Prarie Home Companion radio show with Gary Keillor. Uff da!
Be honest...you are trying to get rid of head lice, you eco-loser.
This is the ultimate statement of frustration on behalf of this muddled-headed young woman and symbolic of the impotency of the left. When all else fails and when you want the world attention, do something utterly stupid and pointless such as this young woman has done. Pull out your hair or shave it all off, rend your garments , wring your hand, wailing and gnashing of teeth, etc. What idiotcy
