I just researched short hairdos and found this picture—isn't it fabulous? There are pages of them here. I have to wait a few more months before I can cut my hair. I'm so close to 10 inches that I think I should wait until my ponytail will be donate-able to Locks of Love.
Why so drastic a cut? I have this new theory (would love some input on it!) that long hair only has one purpose and it is to attract a mate. Sort of like a peacock's feathers or a sports car—a message to potential mates that we're healthy enough to grow long shiny hair. And then there's the theory that cavemen found it useful for dragging his woman back to the cave. In my reality, it is a pain to maintain and annoying to sleep with.
However, I love being able to tie it back tight out of my face and give serious, astute looking faces from behind the monitor or out the top of my sunglasses. (think robert palmer video) Maybe I can compromise to ensure a good tight tie back is still possible while still eliminating the fuss!

Awesome! I'm dying to cut my hair short too! But more like neck length. Last time I was scheduled for a cut I was going to go short then an older friend cautioned me against it because of all of the changes in my life recently. She said that more change wouldn't be good. I'm not sure why I listened to her but I did. I'm just so bored with long hair!
I can't wait to see your hair after it's cut. Will you do before after photos?
A Belle, how's Little Roxie?
guess what? i have short hair!!! i cut it a few weeks ago to just below my chin. short curly hair doesn't look as hip as the pics you shared! i'll have to browse the others to get better ideas. sadly, for me, a ponytail was much easier maintenance than this short curly chaos, but i've just let it go! i look like molly ringwald in the breakfast club. to go with my 80s theme, i'm definitely enjoying wearing all my big earrings, definitely more noticeable now that they're not hidden in my long hair.
A, would love to see a pic of your hair, its sounds darling! And M, keep me posted on possible cuts & I'll do the same.
