I decided to get my haircut. I am a creature of habit and when I get a new cut (which is about once a year) I wear it down for approximately 2 weeks and then it goes into a ponytail...until I get it cut again. I decided to be BOLD. I decided to go short. Too short for a ponytail. My neighbor and I looked through pics online and I decided on this one...
Yes. I know I'm no Katie Holmes,but I thought this haircut was super chic. I wasn't sure if I could pull it off but that didn't stop me from taking the picture to the hair dresser and asking. She said "I think if we put in some layers and leave it a little longer you could pull it off. She has more neck than you do". Actually, I have more neck. But it's of the wider variety causing it to look shorter. Just saying. I let her make the decision and went for it.
I'm not really attached to hair. Never have been. I've never sulked over a bad cut. My theory is, "It's hair. It'll grow back." So I let her start chopping.
In true SNAG (Social Network Attention Grabbing,) I just made that up so give me credit if you steal it, okay?)) Fashion, I posted the fact that I was getting my haircut on Facebook and everyone demanded pics. When I got home I took some pictures and decided to post this one...
Several people liked and commented. I've been trying to get a new avatar for FOREVER and haven't liked any of the pics I took so I find it ironic that I liked 75% of the ones I took with this new cut. Coincidence? Anyway. I kept going back to read all the comments causing me to see the pic over and over. At one point I realized that I looked like someone. Then I realized who it was and just started laughing. I posted my new thought... "Damn. Now that I look closer I think I resemble Dora in this one:(" Was I wrong?
So everyone got a super big laugh. Just like you are laughing now. One friend even sent me a new Dora ringtone, Thanks Rikki, and my daughter (4) decided when her grandparents came to pick her up for church to make a huge introduction as I walked her out the door. "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to present...(arms open wide)...DORA." It made me giggle. So happy I can provide laughter to my friends. I'm now tucking it behind my ears...
No more Dora hair...until I woke up this morning.

Did I make you laugh? Pay It Forward. How many people can you make laugh today? That's your mission...if you choose to accept:)

I didn't see the Dora resemblance until you brought it up. I still think it looks great on you. You definitely have more style than Dora.
I think it's a very cute cut, and not Dora-like at all!
I have concerns about Dora being too young to drink wine, so....to show you what a good friend I am; I'll take the wine off your hands. I don't want Dora, who is after all a model for young girls everywhere to get a bad rap as being a bad role model. I know, it's a sacrifice; but you I'm willing to do it.
lol
I like the new do

...but you see it. Point made:)
You are very sweet. TY
Right. About that. My publicist (which is totally my husband who doesn't approve of my wine budget) says I can't give it away and instead thinks I should go shorter. Next thing you know I'll be tinkerbell...then you should still get the wine:) Stay tuned...or start knitting me a wig.
Count your blessings. At least you have hair to cut. I wear a hat in my avatar pictures because otherwise the glare off my bald head causes lens flare on the camera.
Oh, go on (swipes hand in the air) You just need a round brush so you can blow dry it from the top down. If you give it a little height at the scalp it will create that smooth curve down to your chin.
And the ear tuck is always a nice fall back.
I tried to get my hair cut like Katie last year and took in her chic little bob pic...let's just say it DID NOT look a damn thing like Katie Holmes:) Oh well, lesson learned.
By the way, I found your site on Tribal Blogs. I just signed up there, too!
Girlllllllllll You do NOT look like Dora.. now I might say.. ahhh Nevermind. lets get back to drinkin. btw loved the barefoot moscato !
Your Haircut Is Cute as a Pixie. You Look Fabulous.
Thank You.
I haven't tried the Moscato yet but just got a bottle of the new Sweet Red. May have to open that one up tonight:) I also had Bear Flag's New Bright White while on vacation and will post about that soon.
I'm going back to "just cut it". I haven't taken in a picture in more than 20 years. Now I remember why:)
Blow it dry? Seems like too much work. I was going for easy.
