That Elton John! He knows me so well!
In a recent conversation about hair cuts and short hair, someone (and I'll be damned if I remember who) told me that she accidentally wound up with a Caesar cut back when George Clooney was sporting the look. I could almost relate, as I spent nine months in 2006 and a small part of 2007 wandering around with a cut so short I resembled a 12 year old boy. (Twice my brother-in-law approached some kid, thinking he was me.) When I finally figured out that this was not the look I really wanted, I swore that I would keep my short hair on the longer side of short. Mostly that has gone very well.
Then, yesterday. I tried a new salon for a variety of reasons. When I left, I noticed that my hair was pretty darn short, but I filed it in the cabinet all the way at the back of my head because it looked cute. Husband took a picture of me that night, which I meant to post today, but he took the camera to work with him, so no photos today. (I wore my Sweet Corn Festival t-shirt in solidarity with Mar and my sister, who both live in flooded Iowa City.) I think I knew that when I took a shower today I would return to my 12 year old boy look, although this time a 12 year old boy with a Caesar.
No more short, short cuts. I swear.

Can't wait to see the photo. I used to have my hair realllly short too. I'd walk down the street and people would say, excuse me sir. Didn't matter if I was wearing earrings.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see the haircut in person today!
ReplyDeleteThat happens to me too, so I get afraid of cutting my hair until I freak out because it's too "long."
ReplyDeletei'm sure it's adorable. my mother 'made' me have short hair when i was younger (she didn't want to have to detangle it like my bff's mom did every time it got washed)
ReplyDeletei'm off to see about sandbagging. they let me off work because the bridge (hospital on west side, i live on the east) is going to close. the rest of'em shut down mostly yesterday.
Um, sorry about me getting rid of hair...
