instant vintage : 03.2010 : …chopped… (Moment of Vanity)

me3

It’s a great feeling knowing that you’ve moved past the point where other people’s opinions and judgments affect your decisions.  It feels like freedom; blissful, pleasant freedom…

…it also feels a lot colder than you’re used to.  You’d be surprised at how much insulation hair provides.

    I just wanted to say that you look absolutely awesome with the crop. It’s very becoming to you and it reminds me of when Erykah was rocking a closeboy for awhile.

    Gorge! So me two(three?)years ago. I loved it, but now I want some hair. My hair has always been short. The first time I got it cut, dude was like $10. My jaw DROPPED! I have never spent so little at a hair salon b4.
    Not sure why u did it, but it is really low maintenance and cheap. I think I will dub this look recessionista chic. LOL

    I just found your blog and was going through and found this post. My heart seriously stopped. Not in a bad way at all! I recently had a really bad perm resulting in a lot of my hair falling out. The back of my head is shaved but the top isn’t and I hate it. I truly would like to cut all my hair off, like your’s, and just start all over again. The only thing holding me back is my parents, no money from them if I do it. I applaud you for doing something that makes you happy. One day, I will do the same.
