I can't imagine having short hair. Mine has been waist-length for as long as I can remember. Of course, in this recession a bob would probably be better as I get through about a bottle of shampoo every four days.

I have had a few bobs in my time and I adored them. One time the ex got mad at me for cutting my hair so short. Pffft. Suckas, I looked fierce. He was stupid and had some insecurity about dating a chick with short hair.

I love my bob. It is the ONLY haircut for those of us who are 40-approaching-50ish and are not going to cave to the old-lady haircut just yet.

I currently have my red darkened to chestnut, with the bangs and the shortened neck. It is easy to shape with an iron in the 10 minutes I allow for my AM hair routine.

Fuck Anna W. My bob is for me.

Happy birthday, bob! (I had to comment as the Amazing Louise Brooks is my avatar and the first cut I asked for once my hippie phase finally passed...)

@bloodflower: I am devoted to my wavy bob. I look like Beatrice Eliott in The House of Eliott.

I've always been super jealous of those who can rock the bob! With my super frizzy, curly hair, I just look like a Mario Bros. mushroom.

Anna Wintour ruins the bob for me. I wonder if her's was the original?

(It's been a long day and she's ruining what used to be my fave mag, so some g-o-g crime is coming out)

If my crazy-ass curls could do that Louise brooks bob, the most perfect hairstyle ever created, without 2 hours of hair prep every morning I would be deeply happy. And what an awesome pedigree (ok, I could take or leave Wintour)

@Your Screenplay Sucks: Ever since I've known who Louise Brooks was I've wanted hair like hers. Sadly, my hair is fine and thick and wavy and turns into grandma helmet hair when it's bobbed.

@LBB wishes everyone a happy 2009!: Me too. I also wanted her nose and general attitude. But my hair is my nemesis. The only movie hairdos that I've ever been able to easily emulate are those shaggy Neanderthals in Clan of the Cave Bear.

The bob is like the "Bad Boy" of haircuts. It tricks me once every 5 or so years. I think, "It's so cute! I'm sassy enough to handle it! I need a change. JUST DO IT!"

And the whole thing ends in tears.

Reminding me that my bob needs a trim, as it's now just plain shoulder length.

@dianersb: Now that my bob has reached shoulder length, I think I've just given up on it. I can't possibly be bothered to make it in for a haircut more than once every several months. And that's no way to maintain a bob.

@funnyface: Same here. And the longer my hair gets, the less patience I have for blow-drying it. Therefore I'm attempting to rock some vaguely wavy look now...but I think I'm just walking around looking unkempt.

@funnyface: Mine too. It kinda works if I don't comb after shower (just use fingers to separate), scrunch the hell out of it, and dry a bit with a diffuser...but by the end of the day it mostly just looks wrinkly. A few more weeks of this and I'll inevitably either (a) get a short, quick-to-dry bob, or (b) get a freakin' body wave so I can actually rock the wavy look.

I used to rock my bob with saddle shoes and a jean dress in my eighties little girl years, it was priceless. Now my head doesn't like bobs as much in my twenties

@hortense: The short story was also turned into a short film sometime during the 80's. Shelly Duvall, of The Shining and Popeye fame played Bernice and was brilliant.
