I cut twelve inches of hair off yesterday.

From my head, wise ass.

First real cut since 5th grade. Thought I’d cry, but I didn’t.

Just hair, yo.

It’s totally going to Locks of Love.  Not because I’m some freaking hair philanthropist, but because you can’t cut hair and not send it to that place – people will fucking kill you on the street.  And throw rotten tomatoes at your corpse.  And then shear your corpse bald as a cueball and send your hair to that place anyway.  You think I’m kidding, but I’m totally not.  On more than one occasion, people have stopped me on the street to tell me I should donate the hair that is still on my head.  Duuuudde – I’m still wearing it. They don’t care.  They still give me mad evil eye for walking around with that shit on my head while some kid is going naked scalp out in the city.

And you guys are so. fucking. on.  I’m sending that book out. It’s a new damn short hair day, and I’m going to grow a pair.

PS:  My husband thought I should clone out that goober on the mirror, but I was all: No way!  I’m not cloning my hair!

PPS:  I think you will love this (NSFWish with chicks kissing and some bitch slapping).

    Love the look – both of them. To tell you the truth, the shorn look looks much healthier. =) P.S. Next time someone asks you about locks of love (and you don’t want to go there), just lie. It saves breath.

    Oh, wow! Your hair looks so much healthier and prettier! Good for you on the hair and the book!

    Looks fantastic!

    SEND THE BOOK OUT!!! Yippeeeeeee! And I have SHORT HAIR. Very short. I could never tolerate growing it out long enough to send hair in. I want to murder people when I try growing my hair out, and I am pretty sure that going to prison is not a good trade off for donating hair.

    Nice. I’ve had people tell me I should donate my hair. Why do they think it is an appropriate thing to say? Also funny was the person who said I needed to go to a particular stylist here as a lot of his clients also have natural (meaning uncolored) hair.

    Love it! Tell the truth, how much of yesterday was spent flipping your hair nonchalantly over your shoulder?

    Can’t wait to hear more about the book… send it here first if you want a definite thumbs-up-could-not-put-it-down-everyone-should-read-this review. And, I’m cheap, too.

    Yippee! Publication here we come! Only… oh NOES! When you publish what the crap are WE gonna do?! Are you pubbing under Anne Nahm or your real name?

    Am now filled with anxiety that you publish and never tell us, cuz then we’d know your real name. I know, I know…. cart, horse, whatever. Am I the only one who sees the dilemma?

    Wow–your hair looks gorgeous. Congrats on making the decision to send out the book. I wish you lots of luck.

    I’m with Bon. You’ll tell us, right? I’m worried now. Hmmm…The worry is a little creepier than I am comfortable with.

    Anywho, the hair: So pretty short. Although that’s not actually short. It’s comparatively short. But lovely. Really lovely.

    I love the hair cut.

    I might be tempted to tell people that the hair I was wearing was a Locks of Love wig, so why would I ever consider donating it. I think it would be awesome to see what look they gave you.

    The short hair looks great and I’m sure that it’s a lot easier to deal with. Although I will say that the first time you wash it is a beotch because I always forget it’s been cut and use too much shampoo.

    Not two weeks ago I sold 14 inches for over $200 dollars (I posted a couple after pictures on my blog), so I feel you about not wasting hair. I’m just a hair more broke and instead of donating, sold. Lol. Your new cut looks lovely and healthy. I’m a bit jealous because I can’t get my hair to grow that long, ever. It stops somewhere just past the brastrap.

    DUDE, YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD IT! THE BALD ORPHANS CAN SUCK IT UP!
    (Also, YOU HAD A LOT OF HAIR!)
    (ALSO! I’M SORRY FOR ALL THE CAPS LOCK! I’M VERY TIRED AND SO IT IS HOW I EXPRESS ENTHUSIASM WITHOUT HAVING TO USE CREATIVE WORDS!)

    jeebus! you so skinny!!!!!!!

    My daughter and I are cutting and donating for Halloween. Then she is going as her twin for Halloween. Cheap costume and making a bald kid happy at the same time. Double bonus!

    It was soooo time for the hair to go. And yes, it is just hair. Way to let go! :)

    Lurker here.
    I went through the same thing w/ my hair. The hair lady actually appeared somewhat agitated that I didn’t freak out. I think I may have had to talk her off the ledge a bit, actually.
    Your hair looks great!

    I. Love. It.

    I just cut mine above my shoulders. I’m sort of wigging out about the whole thing. Let’s be twitchy together, shall we?

  19. on 09 Oct 2009 at 11:05 am Jenny

    I love it! Also, I’m laughing so hard I’m snorting.

    Lurker coming out to say: love the new hair, yeah baby on sending the book out, and that video ROCKS. Have spent the past half hour trying to download & finally found it on Itunes. C’mon, bitches!

    I’m one of 3 guys that I know who are growing their hair for L.O.L. Right now, it’s at the #%$* aggravating stage of being all in my face, but not quite ponytail length. Grrr. My hair, in front, can be pulled down to my mustache. It’s very curly, with gray streaks. Some middle-aged woman with breast cancer is going to be very happy later on.

    Oh, and the video? Very nice to see a sexy woman with no ribs showing, IMO.
