Jamie Lee Curtis shorter and shorter

She went shorter again:

I agree with you Lady Maria. However, perhaps it is the angle in the picture. I have seen her in other pictures lately & she looked better.
Or, it isn't the picture & she just went a little too short this time! A little length & perhaps curl (think Halle Berry) would do her good! (and of course, the makeup & earrings as LM said)

I'm thinking it's the lighting.

I've alway thought she looked good in short hair, and the Pixie is one that she wears well.

I can't imagine she'd look good with it any shorter.

Hi everyone,
I sort of agree with you Lady Maria, perhaps it is a bit too short
-but even so, I still think she looks good.

I like Jamie Lee and I like her short hair when she cuts it that short. She is older now but she looks just fine!!!

Hi LadyMaria,

Yes, I totally agree with you and that goes along with the topic of who looks good in a Pixie. I know that Jamie Lee is making a big deal about her age and the fact that she is not trying to do a lot of hair and makeup maintenance these days. She recently posed on More magazine and made a huge press noise about "letting it all hang out" so this is probably just part of the ongoing focus she has.

Best wishes,
Karen

Hi LadyMaria,

I totally agree with you. It is almost like she is going to the opposite extemes to make a point. And yes, she is only in her 40s. If she doesn't want to do anything with her makeup at least she could wear some nice earrings to show off the hairstyle. There are lots of 40s+ stars out there with shorter dos that look great and don't have to trumpet the "Let it all hang out no matter how unattractive it looks"

Best wishes,
Karen

Hi Demodoll,

I know personally what happens when you hit your 40s. :-) I agree with you that it should be OK for either men or women to be comfortable with how they age through the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s etc.

Unfortunately it just doesn't always work that way. Recent research has shown that men and women with gray hair are less likely to get a job or even worse the same pay as someone the same age with no gray hair. Is that discrimination? Yes. Is it reality? Yes again. While I agree that Jamie Lee should be proud of her age and do it her way, I think there is a fine line between aging gracefully and not looking your best. There should be nothing wrong with taking a few minutes to put on some attractive earrings and a little lipstick to look nice, which was the comment here about how she could look better. I am not advocating that she go under the knife or that she not feel good about where she is, but I think that anyone whether 10 or 90 can and should try to always look their best. It actually makes for a better role model for the rest of the 40s+ women she is responding to. Sort of like, yes I am getting older and I'm not going to fight it with surgery or other options but I still want to look my best at the age that I am. Just my opinion. :-)

Best wishes,
Karen

Hi Demodoll,

Well I didn't think you were ranting at all. I liked your points but thought I would just add my 2 cents worth as well. :-)

Best wishes,
Karen

I am 45. And when I hit 40 nothing really major happened. But then when my kids left the house I begin to notice a whole new me! I went really short ( I mean REALLY short) with my hair. I wear tons of jewelry, and I do dress nicer - for me though. I actually feel great about myself! I donot know what it is when you hit 40's but I think that something inside you clicks and you rediscover yourself! I am having the time of my life now! And best of all, my husband likes the way that I take care of me! I also feel that you get one chance in this life - why waste it! This is just my opinion! :-)
