I DID THIS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO!
After, like, an adolescence of whinging about how much I wanted to shave my head, and how I just never had the guts to, I just came back from lunch one day with no hair (courtesy of an impulse visit to barber).
Seriously, if you want to do it, I so recommend just doing it. The adrenaline rush makes you feel fearless, and besides, of all the things you could do and later regret, why not go for the one where you can still grow it out, if it's not for you?
@Triphena: I think her boyfriend (not husband) disappeared a few years ago. She then married some other guy (her current husband)last year. Then earlier this year some private detective claimed to find the old boyfriend hiding in Mexico (so he didn't have to pay his child support to his ex-wife and some other big debts).
The fact that I know this makes me think I read way too much celebrity "news". Think of all the useful stuff I could store in my brain if this wasn't there!
So, can someone explain "Whip It" to me? The movie itself is fiction, but the roller derby characters are based on real people (like Rosa Sparks), right?
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: From my understanding, the movie is based on a book written by a derby girl. So, the characters are very loosely based on real people. As far the names (like RosaSparks), they got permission from real people to use their derby names, even though the characters aren't based on those actual people. The movie writers just needed to find some bad-ass names.
@rmric0.wedding.photographer.and.manny: I would talk to Kristen about how I lose 3 hours out of my day every time Speak comes on Oxygen. I'd be like that annoying relative at family reunions: "Oh Kristen, I remember you when your teen angst was only knee-high to a grasshopper!"
#2 must be LiLo, as her new lips are certainly pouty.
Can #3 be the Jonas brother that is engaged? I cannot tell them apart, and I hope his future wife can.
My hair is growing back after falling out during chemo. I don't always want to tell the whole cancer story, so I think I'll stick with "I've always been fearless about change." Thanks, Solange!
I am DYING to cut my hair short. DYING I say! Seeing absolutely beautiful women like Solange rock it makes me want to even more, even though my bone structure isn't as amazing. I'm unsure what to do specifically because my hair is extremely thick and wavy and I don't want a weird little curly poof. any tips?
@una.perra.andaluza: Go for it! I've seen so many curly-haired gals rocking short hair. A good stylist will tell you exactly how to achieve a good look and which products to use.
I didn't quite understand yet that my hair did not define me.
Solange has confirmed what I kept trying to drive home throughout the whole "black hair" discussion.
On the Chris Rock/Relaxer post I said: I'm of mixed heritage, Black and Asian. It isn't a cultural or esthetic thing for me. Relaxed hair makes my hair easier to manage. But I can also wear it natural, wavy or pretty much any style I choose depending on my mood. And by natural, I mean cutting it off and starting from the roots.
I love Solange for making women understand that there is no such thing as "good hair."
I find it weird that people have such a strong reaction towards short hair. Last year I was just bored and decided to cut my hair short, not bald, just, short, and the reactions were insane. Things like "I could never EVER do that!!" were said to me more than once. Do what? It's just hair, it grows back, it's not like I got a full back tattoo of a penis, people.
@sarasasa: I once died my blonde hair light brown in college and three people asked me if that meant I was depressed, 'cause, you know, you don't just do something like DYE your hair DARKER unless you have serious mental health issues...
It's just hair people. It's not a window to my soul.
@Tippi Hedren: I love a pixie cut! I continuously gravitate toward short hair. Every time I start growing it out, I get sick of it and go back to short. I'm too heavy right now to rock a full-on pixie, though.
I get so disgusted on What Not to Wear when women with scraggly hair in terrible condition CRY when Nick suggests cutting even an inch off. Short hair on the right face can look amazing. Such as with Solange.
@Tippi Hedren: Ack! Yes! I cut my hair really short a couple years and people asked me and my husband that a lot! His response (which I adopted)shut them up promptly.
Them: What do YOU think about her hair?
Him: Let’s just say you’re lucky we left the bedroom today.
@mediumrare415: To be fair, the women on What Not To Wear might be crying because they know Nick is about to give them his standard Mom Bob cut. Or if they have curly hair, they're in danger of the upside-down triangle.
@Angua van der Woodsen: Everything he did needed just a LIIIIIIIIIIITTLE off the back...it was a bit mullet-esque. The new guy, though, gives everyone red carpet/porn star hair.
@Tippi Hedren: My husband, bless him, loves my short hair. He has long hair, so we're sort of opposites.
He got asked once if he wished my hair was longer, what he did think of it, etc. He went OFF. He doesn't own me, my hair is my business, etc. I'll have to try that bedroom response from LaComtesse next time.
@Tippi Hedren: For the record, my husband likes short hair and thinks it looks great--but even if he didn't like it, I LOVE IT, and that's really all that matters when it comes to something like a hairstyle.
It's not for everyone, but she looks amazing with her cropped do. I never noticed her great bones and pretty eyes until she got rid of the 20 lbs. of weave she used to wear. And, I think, dare I say it, that she is prettier than her famous sister.

But seriously does she want them to gush to her about the weather or local sports teams?

What's happened between then and now that it's considered proof of insanity or "a mistake"?
She looks effing amazing, and at a stroke she's made all those honey-coloured extensions look hackneyed.

The most common one, by far, was, "Oh my god, what does your HUSBAND think?!"
