Ever consider the possibility that it was pinned up in a bob for the movie/ET interview? Did she ever actually say she cut it in that interview?
Just a thought,
Yah, sadly JF, as I mentioned when I started this post she said that it was in fact her hair, and sort of just shrugged and said something to the effect of it being"lower maintainance now that the length was gone."
Wow, that looks really cute! I really think it suits her better than
the plain long dark look. Maybe if she'd have done something to her
long hair it would have been nice too. I think it's a lot better.
I'm glad curls are making a comeback, straight hair is only interesting
if the colour is interesting or it's very, very long, otherwise it just
kind of hangs there.

Ann's late Japanese mom was always trying to get her to grow her hair, telling Ann she looked like "a man". Only after Mom's death did Ann give long hair a whirl, to the gratefulness of countless men, may I add! (lol)
I think most people of all races who come to the States try to emulate our hairstyles. It is a source of pain for many of the elders of varying ethnicities, I've read, and witnessed in some cases. I don't think it is *necessarily* wrong for one to wish to assimilate, of course. Each person must choose his or her own path. Blessings, Bob

I saw Lucy on one of those entertainment shows, and she said it was her real hair. I thought she looked pretty cute, even though I'm not so sure about the movie. . .
More awesome than a manatee!

I'm always perplexed when people say any Asian woman who cuts her hair is trying to look Western. They don't say Western women who grow their hair are trying to look Asian.
Oh, and Ann Curry trying to look Western. . . that's a little odd to say, since she's only part Asian, anyway.

Kramer, I am not ashamed to say that I think Asian long hair is sizzling. Some, including my best Asian woman friend, look great with a bob, but I think others are misguided, trying to look Westernized. (Includes Ann Curry once upon a time, Bai Ling and Lucy now.) BTW, how can one be racist against a group he admires? Bob

Like it or not Lucy's hair style is a trend we will be seeing more of
this season. After almost a decade of straight hair, curls (especially
big bouncey ones) are supposedly making a comeback. The trendwatchers
in my industry also say that by this winter we will see more hair at
the new length "mid-neck". Sixties geometric styles are also supposed
to making a comback but I'll beleive that one when I see it. I
personally think that it will take longer for the Sally Hershberger
influences and long distressed layers to permeate out of current
fashion, but anything new is a welcome change for hairdressers who have
been trying to survive with clients requesting nothing more than 8-12
weeks between trims for the last few years now.

Well, Bubba, I appreciate long hair on women of all races, nationalities and religions. I'm not against women with short hair, I just appreciate those with long hair more. Unless you're a shorthair lover, what's wrong with that?

Well..you can say certain things about particular ethnic groups and hair. For example, Indian and Arab women do mostly keep their hair long (not everyone of course, but the vast majority). Italian, Spanish and Portuguese women also have far longer hair, on average, than those in the US, or Germanic, north European countries. Nothing racist about calling the situation as it is.
*Oh yes, Ukranians and Russians often keep their hair far longer than is normal in the US as well. Wasn't Kramer and Dave Decker going into raptures of appreciation about this very fact, not so long ago?

The valedictorian of my high school class was also my prom date and she had waistlength hair. Now, years later, it's up to her shoulders. How would she figure into your calculations?
For you guys to stereotype a certain race of people and the length of their hair is not only politically incorrect and ridiculous, it's borderline racist.

Get your point, Bob. But don't believe that the majority of Asian gals are to be found in NE Pa. In Bahrain, where I am, most of them like to keep it long.

Where do you live, Fat? In NE Pa., I see many Asians, and I work with several. I almost said 90%! (lol), but in any case it's not scientific! All I know is that I *love* seeing Asian gals with long locks, and there ain't many around here. Best, Bob

I remember in some interview at least 5 years ago Lucy was on Letterman or Leno and got into the topic of her long hair.
She explained that when she was very young her mother made her keep her hair short, and when she got on her own, her way of rebelllion was to grow it long.
She went on to explain and I cant remember how short her mom made her keep it, but Lucy said she dreaded goign out it was so short and her mother would cut her hair herself and as lucy described , because her mom had an asian accent would say to her with her accent "Long hair looks messy, looks better short and neat, short and neat"
I remember this interview because the crowd laughed when Luct kept imitating her mother's voice and the phrase "Short and neat"
