meLOVE: bobbing for cancer

So, I have to say, I find it interesting that the reaction I've gotten from most people is, "Don't worry!  It looks great!"  I have been told I look cute no less than 8 times.  I'm not sure 'cute' is a word I would regularly associate with me, but sure - OK.

I love a bob - I love my haircut - I love Stacie for doing a fantastic job and am glad to have raised a litlte extra for her Ride to Conquer Cancer.  I just hate short-ish hair for me.  For whatever it's worth, I wasn't worried that a bob would look good.  I'm not that vain.  (I'm actually much more vain - I think the bob was created for me ~smirk~.)  My resistance to cutting it was the loss of the ability to get up in the morning and ride my bike without worrying about helmet head.  As a bicycle commuter, anything that requires styling is not a practical 'do.  Really long hair or really short hair you can usually work around with a helmet, but anything that requires 'styling' is probably not going to work very well.  I'm a wash-n-wear kinda girl and generally speaking I don't use hairspray, blowdryers, or barettes, all of which are a necessity of having not-long hair that doesn't look unkempt.  Sure, a pixie cut or a total shave would have been better for cycling, but I went with a bob because it's the least distance to having hair long enough to put in a ponybun again...

Whatever the case may be, the point wasn't a fashion thing - it was to cut my hair off and donate it for wigs.  12" total, 9" of usable hair later, I've gone bobbing.
