New hair

[evilgerbil]

After months of threatening, I got a drastic hair cut on Friday. Here's what I look like now, minus the giant glowing ball because I can't turn off the flash on this camera. It's amazing how much better I feel about myself, and suddenly I'm having fun being creative with clothing and jewelry and ways I can wear my hair.

Nice. It suits you well.

Thanks! It's odd that I didn't want something that would make me look butch, but I've been having fun styling it in such a way that I *do* look rather butch.

(which is different than it looks here)

Well, short hair is not intrinsically more butch -- look at Audre Hepburn, who could scarcely have been any less butch. It does frame your face in a way that connotes more confidence, though. Having long hair in a ponytail does tend to soften your overall appearance, especially if you're blonde (as I well remember), whereas having it short like that keeps pushing the eye toward your face. It reads as more assertive -- I suppose you could call that more butch, but I think for you it tends more toward what a friend of mine used to call "power femme."

"Here's what I look like now, minus the giant glowing ball..."

Lies and propaganda. Amanda just doesn't want to show off her super powers. =p

I don't recall if I mentioned as much previously, but the short hair looks good on ya. =)
