I need haircut advice. My current style is medium length with some long layers cut in, slightly shorter in front (hitting about at the jawline), almost long enough for a short ponytail in back.

I think I want something more like this, but I'm not sure my hair will actually do it. I'm also not sure about a style that short with the shape of my face -- I have a ginormous heart-shaped head with very wideset eyes, and so I'd like to draw attention upwards and away from the jaw and double chin.

Suggestions?

Jess, I took one look at that haircut and immediately saw your face under it. It's gorgeous, and I think it would work on you.

But man, I think Arthur Miller's niece should lose custody just by letting him wear that tie/shirt/jacket combo, let alone leave the house wearing it.

His daughter, isn't it? Rebecca Miller? Talk about marrying your anima....

I'll take custody of him any day. I nearly died in the theatre, all 7,862 times I saw it. And omigod, yes, Eric was a bonus. Yummy yummy Uncas.

Jessica, I think a style like that would work on you, especially if your stylist made sure to cut layers that will hit at and just above your cheekbones, which should emphasize your eyes.

Jess, what deb said. But ask your stylist, because she'll have your face, your hair, and your picture all in the same place.

Oh, Cindy, have you seen the opening sequence in Last of the Mohicans? Cause, GAH. And Eric Schweig is a double bonus. I took my twin to see it and she clutched my arm so hard she cut off the circulation. She looked at me and mouthed the words, "OH MY GOD". He really was sublimely beautiful in that picture.

No, I haven't. Maybe that's why, but he's just never done anything for me (looks-wise--I think he's a fine actor).

I'm okay with how he looks. I'm hugely un-okay with the shirt/tie/jacket thingy he's working. My "really looks like" doesn't include fashion.

I wasn't as specific as I could have been. Given the way in which his looks register with me, how he looks and is dressed in that picture didn't make me think he could do better. I don't see his pretty, so seeing him dressed like that doesn't make me rue the fashion crisis as much as it would on say George Clooney.

So, I should just print that out and take it to the salon across the street? 'Cause I'm suddenly hit with the Must!Change!Hair!Now! bug. (Plus, going to NOLA at fuck-o-clock tomorrow morning, and want to look better than my college friends remember me. t /shallow Wait, that tag doesn't close.)

I think that would be a great cut on you, Jessica, and if you think you have a double chin, you must be using a funhouse mirror in your bathroom.

Yes, if you can do it now, do it now. I have my picture ready to go, but have no clue when I can actually get out to get my hair cut. Not this freaking week, that's for sure. I figured it out. And I'm okay. Give my love to the product. You have to take care of them now -- you have to take care of each other. You have to be strong. PMoon. The hardest thing in this world is to choose hair in it. Be brave. Live. For me.

Jess, print it out and go across the street. And what juliana said.

Cindy, there's a moment in LotM where Madeline Stowe is doctoring the wounded at the fort, and he's watching her, and she feels his eyes on her and turns around, and says, "What are you looking at, sir?"

And he smiles - long slow smile that curves up those cheekbones - and the Irish lilt, and he says "I'm looking at you, miss."

Oh, God. I'll just be locked in the bathroom with a selection of, er, toys.

The hardest thing in this world is to choose hair in it. Be brave. Live. For me.

t loves Cindy

'Cause I'm suddenly hit with the Must!Change!Hair!Now! bug.

Oh, that is a powerful bug. I know it well.
