the pixie

Time and again I'm fascinated by platinum blondes of all types, but I'm especially drawn to that  mischievous, tantalizing little pixie cut. Wispy blonde locks, side-swept bangs, an exposed nape. Maybe it's the devil-may-care attitude it implies, that irreverence towards traditional notions of flowing-tressed female beauty, or maybe it's just because I don't have the gumption to cut my own hair that short! But regardless, if I see a cropped platinum do, you better believe I'm going to stop and stare. Or in the following cases, click away like a besotted photog.

And here are some pics of famous ladies who've recently made the switch from long and lovely to cropped and edgy. What do you think? hot or not?

That's right! It was Mia Farrow in the 1960s. She still looks so timely, doesn't she?

I'd love to hear what's preventing you from cropping your hair! Me? I have masses of thick hair that would require a trim every 2 weeks to stay put. Too high-maintenance. And yes, I'm just a scaredy-cat too.
