Don't you just love it when things come together?

Say, you have no ideas at all for a post and then someone emails you the photo that she took of you specifically so you could show the internet your new haircut?
BREAKING NEWS: I CUT OFF A COUPLE OF INCHES OF MY HAIR. FILM AT ELEVEN.
My hair was kind of layered before and did a nice flippy thing. So if I cut it shorter, surely it would be even more flippy. (Flippier?) Perhaps even TOO flippy. Right?
Wrong. It was bad. And if I encouraged it via round brush and hairdryer to curl under instead of flipping, it was worse. Very Dutch Boy-esque. I am therefore, becoming one with the flat iron. Though it cost me up to five extra minutes of sleep in the morning. Which, at a time beginning with the number 6 is a VERY BIG DEAL, OK?
I should note that none of this is the fault of my stylist, Andria. A person should go to the salon with more information than I want to cut it about to here. And have some layers. But not too many layers. I don't know. Whatever you think. Andria just seemed relieved not to have to be doing her one-skillionth Posh Spice cut of the day. Apparently it is all the rage.
Never one to follow a trend, I accidentally went for the style of a different celebrity.
Whoops. I suppose if I do sleep too late to allow for flat-ironing, I could always go with a nice top hat to draw the eye away from the unfortunate roundness of my hair. No? What about giant goggles? Oompa Loompas?
Fine, I'll just get out of bed. But for the record, I think I could totally pull off a top hat.

Hey, if a top hat and funky glasses will get you oompa-loompas to do your bidding and a lifetime supply of chocolate, I really don't see the complaint here. :)
And, btw, your hair looks fine. It's sassy!

A hat and big sunglasses can hide a multitude of sins. Just ask Jackie O.
Your cut is WAY CUTE -- much better than Posh Spice! I thought her hair was all the rage a year ago? Does she have a new haircut I should be copying?

Hi Lori, I love your haircut! You know me, shorter is better, especially in the Texas heat. Also, Owen loves to wrap his hands up in whatever hair he can get hold of! Now you'll be safe with him, oh, except for the glasses, he loves to pull them off and is so fast doing it, you don't see it coming! See you soon.

You're not fooling me. I know that is the exact picture you took in to the stylist. A little Johnny Depp obsession is just normal, but your'e taking it a little far!

You could have taken your old Jordan Knight picture(you know the cool rat tail one) and got that haircut instead. I think you made a good choice!!

I like! it. And I love that picture of Johnny Depp. Everyone needs big white retro 70's looking goggles.

Ooh, I like it. It seems worth the extra flat-ironing time to me.

Lori, it is cute! And SOOO not like the Johnny Depp picture! LOL! Although I think Amy's comment about Jordan's rattail is hilarious.
I wish we could have gotten together for lunch sometime, but now you are moving away again! Life gets in the way sometimes, I am sorry we couldn't figure that out. Have a safe and happy move!
