Yet another request for hairstyle help

[atomic_girl]

Simply put, I am tired of my hair, and would love to try a short style. I do have a few misgivings, however: when I was younger, I had short hair, but it was also extremely poofy. Nevertheless, I feel that with a great style and judicious use of hair products, I could perhaps pull off a short 'do.

Here are some pictures of what my hair looks like.







I would appreciate any advice you fine folks would give!
