Posted January 20, 2008

...but no Superbowl.  The game was a real nail-biter and the stress may have taken a few weeks off my life.  Unfortunately, it was all for naught.

It's very sad, of course, as is this horrifically cold weather we're having.  And now the seven inches of snow that we're supposed to get in the next two days while still maintaining the horrific cold.  I tell you what, this winter has been like a bitchslap from Mother Nature.  How do you like me now, she asks.  Answer: I don't.

So let us think of less upsetting things. 

I do believe that, come spring, I will be chopping off my hair. 

For the moment, I need the extra length for keeping my neck warm.  I do still like my current cut, but I've had it for a while now.

It doesn't look like Stacy and Clinton are going to be showing up anytime soon to whisk me off to New York and put me in the capable hands of Nick Arrojo, so it is up to you and me, Internet, to figure something out.

My only idea so far is this very cute bob that I saw on Amy Poehler in the episode of SNL that Brian Williams hosted.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a photo from that show, but I did find this photo of what must be a similar cut, only worn curly.  Which I suppose could be a possibility for me if the layers are short enough and there is just the right amount of humidity in the air, but generally it would have to be straight.

What do we think?  Yes?  No?  Alternate suggestions?

Damn... So close, and yet so far. To be fair, our Packers didn't really deserve to win playing like that, but still...

I think that style would definitely work on you. Very cute!

First, I agree with the other gals, I think that -do might look really cute on you.

But, second, can I point out that Amy looks kinda freaky in that pic? Is that just me??

Yes, it's a cute hairstyle, but beware of hairdos that actually take either knowledge of how to do a fancy, time-consuming blowdrying technique or the appliction of product. Let's face it- you're not going to do the fancy blowdrying thing that the hairstylist will make seem totally manageable while you are there. And product? Maybe for special occassions. So bring the picture, but make it clear to the stylist that you need a hairstyle that will look as good on you in humid and non-humid conditions.

Oh and Dave- Slick. Nicely done.

I don't not like the hairdo. I'm just a straight-haired girl myself, who has made a hair leap of faith once or twice that fell flat. Literally! Ha!
