The {regrettably} true story of a princess and her hair

Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful little princess with longish golden hair.  The Queen, her mother, loved to put it in piggy-tails and other such hairdos befitting a little Princess.  After styling copper-colored hair for so long, the Queen loved having a golden-haired little girl too.
One day while the Queen was busy with affairs related to the upkeep of the castle, the evil Prince (really an ogre in disguise), caught a hold of a tool of mass destruction.
With a quick glance behind him, and an evil laugh, I am sure, the evil Prince sheared off the Princess's golden locks.
The Queen, upon re-entering the room where the crime had been committed, found handfuls of the golden tresses upon all the royal sitting places.  With a cry of rage, the Queen banished the Evil Prince to solitary
confinement until sufficient remorse could be shown. 
Alas, the golden tresses are no more to be put into piggy-tails.  There is no happily ever after in this story, as the little princess will be sporting a mullet for the foresee-able future.

Oh no! How sad! I hope she has fast growing hair, or you have some cute hats to put her in for the foreseeable future.

Oh, how sad! I love the way you told this sad tale and am impressed that you got photographic evedince too. I probably would have been too mad to think about taking pictures. Good thing hair grows back. Hopefully it will grow back quickly. Is Brighton out of time out yet?

This is an excellent story! What good writing skills the queen posesses. Pixie cut? Camden had one for a while.
