Vanity, vanity

So, i'm tired of this waistlength mass of hair. It's heavy, it's miserably hot. It takes for-freakin'-ever to dry.

Since it's getting shot with grey, I decided to go ahead and cut it.
I meant to go to my shoulders.

::insert much swearing::

I think the term is "crew cut."
Ooops. Oops isn't even close to enough. Fuckses, precious!

Damn. It hasn't looked this bad since I had the perm and trimmed my bangs too short back in college.

So, new icon...

*boggle* I'm glad you got it cut if you wanted to, but I must admit there is a part of me that just went *eeee*.

I hear Elke's gone single fandom too.

*wipes brow with relief* :-)

O_O

It looks good. Judging from your icon.

That said, I'm gonna hope my hair stops growing now that it's reached my ass 'cause I don't dare touch scissors to it ever again.

I'll trade you -- mine's at tailbone and has stopped apparently. I want it to my KNEES, damn it ... *grumble*

It's not all that fun when it comes to your butt and it's time to use the bathroom. On the other hand, I have a permanent scarf.

I always put mine up in a bun, so if it'd down to my tailbone, there's no problem anyhow. :-) For years, it stopped growing at my waist, just because the ends would break off. Honestly, I don't think it'll ever get to my backside. :-(

Makes me look like Janet Reno.

[kc-anathema.livejournal.com]

NO! It does not. Trust me. You do not look like the Waco kid.

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

You never saw my gaming license. I had short hair whern the mugshot was taken.

I took one look and said "My God, I look like Janet Reno."
I got it home and my husband took one look and said "Angel, you look like Janet Reno."

A few weeks later my mom visited, and voiced the same opinion.

...

Bummer. I'm still sure you look much better than her, though.

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

Oh I do look better.

I just don't photograph better.

Aww...I feel for ya. I went through the same thing about two years ago. Just was so massively sick of my ass-length hair I got it all cut off in a bob. Yeeeah...it really, really brought out my latent resemblance to Hillary Rodham-Clinton, whom I hasten to note I admire greatly, and who is an attractive woman. However. It was more than a little creepy to look like a Harvard-Radcliffe grad-student from the 1970s.

Did you donate the hair you cut off to Locks of Love?

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

The shortness emphasizes my resemblence to Janet Reno.
Shall we get together for hot, celberity-look-alike lesbian sex?

[ornery-chick.livejournal.com]

Dude, we need a stand-up routine.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Did you cut it yourself or have it cut?

The longest my hair has ever been was about waist-length when I was 7 or 8. I had to get it cut boy-short when I was 8-1/2 and it's never been past my shoulder blades since! :)

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

I haven't paid for a hair cut in 15 years.
And who would cut uit at that hour?



And, check the date.

And, check the date.

Ha! I thought so! Didn't know you well enough to sure though. I'm happy to hear it though as mine won't grow beyond eight inches or so and I have palpitationa at the very idea of waist length hair going into the trash.

Not that I'm jealous...well, mebbee a little... :)

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Meh. Well, I guess I was bound to not notice the date on *someone's* post. (Plus, of course, I don't see how anyone could have been aiming for shoulder-length and wound up with a crew cut, regardless of how bad they might be with scissors.) : P

And I don't know you well enough to know if/when you'd last cut your hair! :)
