Whitney, I used to have really long hair - not down to my butt, but past my boobs - I hacked it all off for my 17th birthday and never went back. Sometimes, I actually miss my long hair, but growing it out is A LOT of work and I do NOT want to deal with those nasty, shaggy in between stages. While saying that, if you want to try something new, go for it - hair DOES grow back (and relatively fast!) but you'll have a few months of "bleh" before it reaches original length.
coolgirl - it's NEVER too late to tell me I look good
and judging from your avatar, so do you!! Oh. Floridians unite. haha.
steelslady - I actually have a pending photo shoot... though despite losing all this weight, I do not quite have the body confidence that I had before (when I was thin). I think the loose skin, stretch marks, and deposits of cellulite on my abdomen are the culprit. Thank you for your kind words
wishes - I LOVE your icon... it's wild and crazy and I can still tell you are pretty despite it! and I am flattered that you think I look like a different person now
