Apologies for the hiatus...

I needed to take some time to re-evaluate and form a game plan for my life in light of graduation. I'm sorry to have abandoned you, my lovelies. BUT. Today is Tuesday, and that means you all get a picture of a dynamite do.

I'd give you a pic of my own beautiful hairs, but--alas! They are looking a bit too hick for the public. I am currently half-way between mullet and bob. So what do we get to see? We need visuals! We have the attention span of a kindergarten class! you say? You get to see my GOAL.

Now, I understand that asymmetrical bobs are SOO passe... I mean, welcome to 2010, right? Well, I figure my bangs are the longest chunk of hair on head, currently, so my hair will naturally grow into this cut. As long as I let it wave, as it naturally tends to do, I won't look too harsh.

And let's be honest, with this economy, it's a bit more difficult to keep up with a pixie. In the mean time, enjoy these romance inspired dynamite do's that I <3.

 I plan on adding more to this post, however, my friend has brought me episodes of Justified. PEACE.

Paris is always a good idea

I remember the first time I saw a pixie cut. I was 16 years old, and on a TCM kick when Sabrina (the one about a chauffeur's daughter, not a teen-aged witch) came on TV. Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn) left for France an invisible girl, but returned to Rhode Island with a lot more moxie...and a lot less hair.

I was in love.

It took me 5 years to build up the courage to get the cut, but I finally did it in July, 2010. I look younger than my age, so I was always afraid that a short cut would make me look even younger. I was afraid I would look like a boy, or that men wouldn't find me attractive, but to be honest I think it's done the opposite. I look like a young woman now instead of a child, the cut accentuates the feminine features of my face, and not to toot my own horn, but I have definitely seen an improvement in my boy count. I haven't looked back since!

A few of my favorite/inspirational cuts:

I stumbled upon Karla's page while perusing pixies before my last trim and all I could think was "Finally! Someone's got it right!" It was just what I wanted, and I absolutely love it. Although, I must say Carey Mulligan's hair is a-tuggin' on my heart strings...
