fashion by committee

Okay, one more stupid internet dalliance and then I'll work on the talk we're banging on for Frayed Wire.

It's summer. It's hot. Lately I've been growing my hair out, and playing a bit with putting it up in scarves -- it's about 4" long overall. The thought was to grow it long enough to be tie-able, and then put colors in it, but I'm bored with waiting.

Also, I own two skirts, both of which are a bit trashed from contra dancing. As a rule, I don't wear skirts.

However, because my brain is never actually content with anything, it has been suggesting "You know what you need? You need really!really! short hair again. And skirts to go with your sandals. Truuust me. It'd be cute. And you're allowed to be cute."

(Owing to my face shape, I think, I am called 'sir' pretty often with short hair, especially in winter. NYC is just that gender-normative. Since I don't actually wear men's clothing, and it's not a reading I intend, it's more annoying than entertaining. It seems my desired presentation permits either androgynous hair or androgynous clothes, but not both at the same time.)

So!

Poll make my aesthetic choices for me
