Age Limits For Pixies?

Obviously, people should wear their hair how they like it best. After all, we're the ones who have to look in the mirror each day!

However, more than age, I say that the more overweight a person is, the worse super short hair can look. Short hair *can* (I'm not saying it always does) make an average-size person look heavier than she really is. A longer pixie might work for an obese woman, but real short hair just makes the entire body look bigger.

Hi Jazzy,

Yeah...well in theory it is a good idea that people select styles that enhance rather than detract from flaws but in reality people always don't. Why? Bad advice from a stylist or well meaning friend, lack of awareness of how to enhance w/ hairstyles or possibly even a lack of concern. Some people will opt for short and easy regardless of how it looks on them because of the convenience factor. So yes, I agree with you. However, life doesn't always work that way. :-)

I know Jacqui. I was just being a little silly too.

Well if Lara Flynn Boyle (who often has short cuts even though she is longer now) can wear a ballerina outfit to the Golden Globes don't be surprised to see a Celeb in a Tinkerbell outfit. It just could happen. LOL.

Well...Strangely enough... I think the name says it all. Pixie....if you can imagine the person flittering about in a little outfit like tinkerbell (halle, winona, charlize - yes), then I guess they are themselves pixieish and therefore, befitting of the trademark hairstyle!!

There is that Wonder Woman again. They were writin plenty 'bout her on the celebrity board.
If Wonder woman is 70, how come she looks like a 35 year old?! They don't age much in the comic books do they!!!!!
Glad she went to a short hair look even if she is just a fictionial character.
Ya notice too how they give her bigger too. She's gettin ed up ain't she!!!!!

I agree about Josie. Definitely looked good short.

I saw Pat Benatar tonite on Charmed and although she doesn't exactly have a pixie, she has a short bob w/ very long bangs. What is that style called? It looks good on her. I like her with lighter hair too.

I actually think that Charlize looks better in short hair than shoulder length hair because of the shape of her face. Actually I think she looks stunning in either a short pixie like in the Astronaut's Wife or in much longer locks, below her shoulder. I think she could do long/short but not so much in between.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Miss Perky (a few years back) Katie Couric. And the beautiful South African bombshell (I can never remember her name) who had a short pixie in The Astronauts Wife. Oh yea, the brunette on Baywatch (sorry, I am bad with names) had a pixie for some of the run.

I'm not a pixie person but I think Judi Dench(sp) looks beautiful with it and she's over 60
