I am in great need of any images of fairies, elves or pixies with dreadlocks. Apparently these mystical creatures could not possibly have dreadlocks so I'm hoping you guys can help me come up with some awesome pics to show how awesome a dread fairy would be. I think dreads portray the exact nature of some kind of magical woodland fairy.
I'd dye my hair a completely different colour and see if they followed me.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery 
I've hiked to Machu Piccu and its pretty gruelling - I wouldn't take my 2 year old on the Inca trail 
But you can always catch the train to Machu Piccu.

I'd love to visit Australia someday. Hopefully before we have kids, cause I her you, when they are young, it;s hard to travel like that. We want to see Machu Pichu, but a hike like that wouldn't go over with a young'n. I always wanted to go to Cambodia, too. But more for the historical aspect.
We've all had that love/hate relationship. It wanes after a while when you stop thinking of yourself as the person with locks, and rather as that person who happens to have locks. The only thing I miss about having straight hair is being able to grow it out and donate it. No one takes dreadlocks for donations because you can't condition them. I would love to find people willing to cut their locks off and donate them to a real "locks" for love. Kids would probably get so excited to have hair that looks different than everyone else's.
Depends....are you good with a shovel??

I love all those abbreviations! & omgosh can I come live with you? It sounds like my dream!
Yes - in Australia we endeavour to always shorten the names of things ....
chicken becomes chook, afternoon is arvo,service station is servo, registration is rego, sandwich is sanga, sausage is snag. There are heaps more - and we often shorten the names of towns - Rockhampton is Rocky, Gladstone is Gladdy, Bundaberg is Bundy, Brisbane is Brissy.
We are just one lazy country
Hey everyone
I've been on here for a little while and realised I've never introduced myself
I live on the East coast of Australia with my husband and our 2 year old boy who is awesome. We live on 73 acres of bushland, I have horses, goats, dogs, chooks and a pig (they are all pets) I'm into rock climbing, horse riding and playing guitar (although I'm pretty crap at all 3). I've done a bit of travelling - but we are in family mode now so no big far out trips to mystical lands in the near future (but I think we'll go to cambodia and thailand soon for some rock climbing and sight seeing)
I have a love hate relationship with my dreads. I love them - but every time i see a beautiful head of long lady hair I yearn for my old butt-length knot free locks (then i realise how cool dreads are). I had them made by twist n rip and crochet method.
Somehow people expect them to stay neat and new - they don't understand they are a living work of art that change shape everyday.
Anyway - thats me. I don't have any far out political or religious views (each to their own) I'm into nature and thats about as simple as it gets.
A+
My dreads have made me relax more. I don't really know why - its like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Sometimes things happen in your life that make you realise life is short and you have to do the things that matter to you - dreads matter to me (and I know that sounds dumb but they do)
I'm really looking forward to my next set of dreads now - because this is the method I will use - only problem was last time I got a big beaver tail - this time i know to go hard on the separation
