Dana, most likely not. My experience with long layers is that they grow out unnoticeably. Well, you notice longer, but....

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.

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.

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).

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

From that article

"We're going to continue to press this issue," Colorado Republican Sen. Wayne Allard said. "If it's up to me, we'll have a vote on this issue every year."

For heaven's sake, don't they have a moratorium? They need to check with the b.org for their proper procedure.

Dana, you have lovely long hair, but you will look gorgeous with it shoulder length or a bit longer. It will still look reasonably long.

shrift, I really like the back-angled bob Steph linked.

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?

Hmm. Hmm. But do I need bangs? Because I haven't had bangs since junior high, man. Edit: Oh, wait, the back-angled bob could work...

I've been looking on Citysearch for salons, have narrowed it to three. So I have definite intent, if not an actual appointment yet.

Well, the threat to traditional family values always comes to a head in the summer of even numbered years.

But do I need bangs?

Nope. But sometimes the only good pictures I can find have bangs (or, conversely, don't have bangs when that's what you want).

With hair that long, it might get a little more limp up top but it won't be *that* high maintenance.

Now I'm looking at all the different styles on the site you linked to, Steph.

If I take a picture of my new style when I get my hair cut, I'm not posing on a motorcycle while wearing a prom dress. Maybe in a pinstriped suit on the Red Line, except for the part where I don't own a camera (other than my cell phone).

You'll just have to take my text for it, I guess.

Shrift, why do you hate America?
