Alyssa Milano new short cut, yum!

Farmrat:
It's fine that you prefer Alyssa in long hair. We all have different opinions about hairdos.
But to say she looks "manish" in a pixie not only insult my imtelligence but is probably the most ridiculous statement I have ever read on any hair board.
And you don't have to love short hair on women to know that she is not the least bit like a man in any way.
What an absurd statement.
Her hairstyle is not only feminine, pretty and cute on her, but she is one of the most feminine, attractive and pretty women I have ever seen! She has the face of an angel.

What does long hair or short hair have to do with security?
It's a hairstyle, a fashion choice.

Farmrat, Alyssa Milano "mannish"?
I've heard it all I guess.
*Alyssa Milano, along with Jennifer Lopez and Halle Berry, may just be the sexiest, most feminine woman in America at the moment.

I don't know how in the world someone as sexy, as sensual, as stunningly beautiful and feminine as Alyssa, could ever, (regardless of her hair length), be construed as anything other than an absolutely, ravishingly gorgeous woman.

What are you gay?
Alyssa looks mannish in her pixie?
How come all the guys who have been commenting on her here are drolling over her and her hairstyle?

Man oh man rat you are one strange dude!

Interestingly, though, some folks (AGAIN, NOT ALL) keep the same "look" for years, be it long, short, or medium hair, for the same reason. They get secure and comfortable in how they see themselves. Is that bad? Not at all. Does that mean their "secure and comfortable" look isn't flattering? Again, a big nope. I'm pretty happy Cindy Crawford hasn't significantly changed her look over the years. Just some thoughts. JF

Hi JF,

No need to shout, I am very capable of discerning the existence of the word "some."

I understand your explanation of the concepts here, and agree with you. The only reason long hair gets labeled a "security *blanket*" is because to some people, the hair might actually (vaguely) resemble a blanket. Different people seem to find security in hairstyles of varied lengths -- long, short, and in-between. It seems that only the long-term choice of long hair gets subtly criticized by being called a blanket. Nobody criticizes those who find security in shorter lengths.

Well Gord, I don't speak for every person on the planet but from what I have read here and else where just about everyone likes it including die hard long hair lovers. If you want to see Alyssa with real long hair you have to go back to when she was a kid. When she was 16 she started to cut it and try different colors. If you want to see a bad short cut on Alyssa look up pics from her Whose The Boss days. near the end of the show she choped her hair short and it was not as cute as this one is. Her current hair style may be short but it does look good on her. And I did say in a post that she had some nice long hair.

My opinion is that every woman should constantly change. That every lady should try as much different styles as she can, from the shortest crops to the almost waist-lenght hair. That is just my opinion and I don't mind if some people think something else.

I am assuming that you are male, and I am assuming that you change your hairstyle regularly if you believe that women should. If not you are being sexist. Why are women always expected to change their hair but men aren't? What would you look like with almost waist length hair? Why do I feel that we are as likely to see that as we are to see me with the shortest crop? What is wrong with hair that is longer than waist length? Mine is. And many people find me attractive. That is not be being arrogant and boastful saying that, it is me being honest.

I think Alyssa looks nice with short hair, but better with it long. Just what I think. I hope I haven't offended anyone, just made them think.

Some people on this planet are so strange.

I certainly did not mean to offend someone with my post and I'm sorry if I did. I noticed a fact which was interesting to me and shared that with some people who I don't now, will probably never meet, but who, for some reason, are interested in the same topic as I am. I read this board regularly, but I don't write very often, because I don't feel the need to. The title of this board is Celebrity Hair Talk, and I think that my previous post fit completly to that subject. It is about a hairstyle of a celebrity.

The thing that uppset Mr. Decker the most is that I said that I regard woman who cut their hair very short as brave. The reason for that is the following. Cuting your hair that short is kind of taking a risk. In just few minutes you might come up with something that you and the people around you don't like and there is no comming back for a long period of time. You may also come up looking very cute and great looking, but you don't know it until you don't dare to do something like that.

Growing your hair long is also very hard thing to do. I find those ladies who manage to carry out such a long lasting project very persistent and I admire them also, specially if they have healthy, great looking hair. But I don't find them brave, because I don't see the risk they are taking. They always have the alternative, and can take a step back if they find some dissaprovals.

Offcourse, it is not some "Heroic bravery", but it is not a decision like "am I going to were a red or green dress today?".

I was marked as a short hair lover or something like that and I don't see that it is true. There are some people who write on this board who think that every celeb should have buzzed head or something like that. I don't like reading their post and certainly don't agree with them, but I think they are entitled to write that because it has to do something with this boards subject. I also don't agree with the posts from those obsessed long hair lovers (regards to Mr. Decker, Gord and co.), but also think that they should write because they are entitled to do so, and they make this board live and more interesting.

My opinion is that this world would be an uglier place to live in, if there were only short-haired, or long-haired women. The diversity is what makes this planet beautiful. My opinion is that every woman should constantly change. That every lady should try as much different styles as she can, from the shortest crops to the almost waist-lenght hair. That is just my opinion and I don't mind if some people think something else.

I'm sorry that this post has a lot of "hair-politics" in it, but I was provoked to do this. If you don't like to read something, then just skip it and don't read it. I think that if we allow more freedom of speech on this board it will become better.

Best regards to all,
Filip

D.D. should stay where he belongs, the long hair support board. Give me a hell yeah!!!

Hi Brent,

I do not care to dissuade short-hair lovers from their preference.

However, I challenge filipm's assertion that "a lot [of] brave ladies chopped their manes..." Not that the manes weren't chopped, but that it was an expression of bravery. Why don't the fans of change who reside here similarly champion those celebs who resolutely grow their hair long as being a brave action? I just don't see such statements being made here.

The beef is that quite a number of the short-hair fans on this board toss off brazen "hair politics"-type statements which seem more appropriate for the hair politics board.

filipm wrote: In the case of Alyssa Milano almost everybody agreed that it was a good move. I wonder why was that the case? Me, personaly, agree with the fact that she looks great, and that it was a great move, but I taught that way in many cases before, for a lot brave ladies who chopped their manes, and there was always the other side of population strongly oposing my opinion. What is so special about Alyssa Milano, or her short hairstyle, that almost everybody agrees that it looks great?

Here we go again, championing women who cut their long hair short as being "brave." How about women who bravely grow or stay long?

I'll answer your question, though I can't believe the answer is a mystery to anybody. If so, read on.

Alyssa Milano has a slim and fit (and attractive!) figure. She also has a nicely shaped (and attractive!) face. Some would say that that is enough to make her gorgeous, no matter what her hairlength or hairstyle.
