New do for Posh!

http://www.blahgirls.com/blog/2008/09/um-totally-hot-hair-cut/

Check it here. I love it. Time for her to mix things up...my 49-year-old mom's best friend just tried to get the same haircut as Victoria Beckham. When something becomes that popular, ditch it.

I've tried to pull this short of a look off, but it didn't work. I love that girl Marjorie on "America's Next Top Model". Love her, love her. She's like a sweet, French version of Agyness Deyn.

I miss you, Anna!

Anyone else watch that teenage soap opera "The O.C." a few years back? I never got past the first season, probably because they dropped my favorite character, Anna (Samaire Armstrong).

Not only did she have good taste in artists (the overrated but still AMAZING Warhol), but she also rocked the short blonde hair. Holla! Tomorrow I'm getting my hair cut, hallelujah. It's been way longer than 6-8 weeks. I currently looked like a drugged-out Kurt Cobain or greasy-haired Paris Hilton. Thinking of getting the Anna-style hair below, but I might keep with my current trend of getting it super-short in back and longer in the front. Think Victoria Beckham (without the fake boobs and sexy husband).

Boyish hair, womanly attitude

Usually television isn’t much of a muse for me. All of those images of CoverGirl mascara and McDreamy are pretty brain-numbing. You especially wouldn’t expect me to find inspiration from one of VH1’s countdown shows, but earlier this week I did. One of the “Best 90’s Songs” featured a video of Sinead O’Connor and her hair (or lack of). It made me want to shave my head. While bald can be scary (Britney), it can also be dangerously sexy (Nat in “V for Vendetta”).

OK, so I would never have the guts. But it did remind me of how much I’m looking forward to getting my hair cut nice and short next week. Something can be so feminine about short hair, as it really brings the focus on your features and curves; you have to be flawless to pull it off. I’m a conformist in loving the boyish blonde crop of Agyness Dean.


There is this whole rumor, though, that guys don’t dig the pixie do’s. I think it’s just like a lot of other things- a matter of preference. Some guys like curvy girls; some like waifs. I’ve had plenty of guys in love with my hair. There are guys who’ve told me I would be even cuter if I grew it out, but when I refuse they don’t seem to mind much. As a blonde, no matter what I do strangers come up to me and touch my hair. When it’s more cropped, I feel like it has more of a style- I feel glam even in a t-shirt. My hair is just so straight that it takes to short styles well; once it gets long it looks completely flat.

How do you feel about short hair? I think more gals should do it- didn’t Halle Berry look so much better when she had the pixie?

I want my purple hair back!

This is what my hair looked like in the winter- it was for a spring hair show. It's back to natural blonde now though, and I totally miss it! Guys liked me better brightly colored than blonde. Little kids loved the "pretty hair" too, but anyone over the age of 30 thought I was out of my mind. What's the biggest hair risk y'all have taken? (Just to clarify, the way it looks in the photo was just to display the colors...I didn't wear it all over my eyes in everyday life. I'm no emo!)

Right now I really like Selma Blair's asymetrical bob in "Hellboy II". My mom has always told me "you can't have bangs- your forehead is too nice"...but right now I have a zit right in the middle of it that some bangs would cover up perfectly.
