Given that my trunk is as large as an airport taxicab's, I'm not sure cutting 7" of my hair off was such a good idea. You wouldn't know it since I wore an out-of-my-face ballerina bun everyday, by my hair was actually pretty long. So 7" isn't that much.
A few weeks ago I arrived late to my statistics class and had to sit a row closer to the front than I usually do. After class, my friend Rebecca looked totally shocked to see me. After searching the classroom without seeing me, she assumed I was absent--she didn't recognize me sitting right in front of her because my hair was down that day. God, I'm so boring. (I know my dad is shaking his head as he reads this and thinking "Tisk, tisk, what a shame. Long hair is so nice." Like most men, he really likes long hair. I like long hair, too, but not when it is clinging to my sweaty, sticky neck and getting all tangled while I ride my bike.)
I gave the hairdresser only two guidelines. 1) I must be able to put it up into a ponytail (even a stubby one is satisfactory) or I will go completely crazy. 2) I never do anything to my hair other than wash it and let it air dry--so whatever cut she gave me must look okay without a curling iron, blowdryer, or even a fancy round brush. The hairdresser looked at me like I was from outer space when I told her this. Then her eyes bugged out when I admitted that my hair hasn't been cut since September. My excuse is that I'm a cheap/married/graduate student/tomboy who doesn't socialize with people who judge her based on appearance (thank goodness!). At least now I look like someone who cares a little bit about how she looks...for a few weeks anyway. (She put some yummy coconut-scented goop on the tips of my hair to make it look more "choppy"...it was so delicious-smelling that I might try to buy some. Mostly for the good smell, not the style aspect.)
Dave saw me out the kitchen window when I rode up the driveway tonight after my haircut. He gave me a thumbs up. He likes my new 'do!
...I love Sir Mixalot...

I think that it looks really cute! Don't worry, my dad likes long hair too and when I chopped it all off he was pretty sad. He said I looked like a boy...which I did because the cut was HORRIBLE. Anyway, yours looks really cute like that. It's a nice change. Don't worry about not doing anything with your hair. I seldom do anything to mine either. I was just telling Edward the other night that I need to grow about four more inches to mine before I can lob it all off. I want to do the hair donation for breast cancer patients but you need eight inches. If I cut off eight inches now I'll be back to looking like a boy. Hopefully I an last all summer without dying or drastically cutting it. I'm notorious for getting bored with my hair during the summer.
love the cut! it is way cute.
i loooooooooooove it! it's way cute! i heard on what not to wear that if you have a big butt you should wear a big purse/bag...the bigger the bag the smaller your butt looks...my sister and i tried it out and i think it's accurate :)
