Kathy, the wildlife lady at the San Diego Zoo called babies like that 'tuckers', as in, their moms tuck them away while they're out browsing.
That baby deer made me smile--so damn cute! ("Tuckers," I'll have to remember that one.)
I have to get my hair chopped, too (it hasn't been cut since Christmas, and is down to my shoulders). My 13-y.o. niece finally had her gorgeous red hair cut for the first time other than trimming the frizzies (it was past mid-thigh!); it's now shoulder-length. She had it donated (almost two feet worth) as well, Dana.

Okay, so I got up the nerve to call for an appointment, and the line is busy. It's a sign, isn't it? I should just stay in my cave with my long hair.
It's past my waist now. Once ten inches are cut off, it'll still be in the middle of my back, I think. It's kind of hard to measure your own hair.
Right now, I'd say I don't want to go above the shoulders.
Dana, since your hair is fine, you might want to have the stylist put in layers -- but long layers. Like, the "under" layer would be shoulder-length, and the top layer would be between your chin and your shoulder.
Yeah, I was thinking going more shoulder-length or a bit longer, but I am also in need of a style.
Shrift, you can pull off all-one-length really well. (I realize that doesn't help, but there it is.) Maybe shoulder-length, blunt-cut the ends? Maybe slightly angled from back to front?
Called the hair place. Have an appointment TOMORROW. Suddenly concerned. Or really, suddenly freaking.
The thing with layers -- will I have to go back every six weeks to have it re-styled? I'm really bad at stuff like that.
Baby deer is still under the tree! Now I'm worried about Mama Deer not coming back for her (it's been there over four hours now).
Dana: the one on the right, here, but not styled that way: [link] ; or the one on the left, here, but longer: [link]
Shrift: despite the fact that the woman is not overly attractive, the one on the right, here: [link] or more or less this: [link]
Dana, most likely not. My experience with long layers is that they grow out unnoticeably. Well, you notice longer, but....

For a trim, probably. It's good to do that, anyway, b/c it gets the dead ends off, and they can get all frizzy and flyaway, which is never good.

There is a "What Would Willow Do?" joke here, but I've haven't figured it out yet.
