Alanis on her hair

I feel just the opposite of you Bob.
To me Alanis with her new short hairdo is more exciting and sexy.

I never said long hair looked bad or outdated on women, I said it looked bad on Alanis because she didn't take care of it.

And what I meant by up to date is that she doesn't look like a burnt out hippie from the 1960s now with unkept long hair and sloppy clothes. She dresses modern, uses some makeup, wears some nice jewelry and has a nice modern short hairstyle.

Of course women with either short hair or long hair can look "up to date" if they take care of their hair whatever length it is and wear modern clothes and a little makeup.
Any length of hair can be up to date if well groomed.

And I must admit the short hairstyle Alanis got isn't my favorite short hairstyle, it is somewhat plain and she could have got a short 'do with more pizazz or a more intriguing style, but it's still an improvement over her previous shabby look with her hair so scraggly and unkept looking.

Why should everyone look "modern", and "up to date"? People should create their own style instead of following others. Alanis had her own, now she looks far too common the way she is.

Very Interesting Bob. I would put it another way...I think her hair is not a pretty as it was when it was uber-long, but I think that she is prettier now, than she was with long hair. You can see it in her face, she has a very different attitude with short hair, like she has come out of hiding.

Bob S wrote: Haylie, I am crazy about super long hair on most women. Alanis' was about as beautiful as I've ever seen. She has been dressing better of late, but I frankly never cared what she was wearing when she was a Rapunzel. The hair was mesmerizing to me. (lol) I have stated before that I think she looks pretty with short hair, but there's no comparison in my mind. I don't think I'm the only guy who misses those incredible tresses on her. One either has a passion for long hair on women, or one doesn't. There's no explaining it. Best, Bob

Some of the sexiest women I've met are housewives or professional women.

Alanis, of course looks adorable in her short hairdo! She's a talented, delightful woman!!!

Bob, I don''t know how you think she was so sexy before. She dressed in the biggest sack-like clothes before. Sure she had great hair but it was almost like she was ashamed of being pretty.

Now it seems that she''s realized that she can be a feminist and be attractive at the same time. Good for her! Women CAN be pretty without compromising their principles.

A grandma? You are weird, the woman is 30 years old and looks 30.
She looks like many young professional women or middle class housewives. It's not a spectacular look but it isn't bad either. I like it and I really like her music.

I dont care what she does WITH HER HAIR, ALANIS IS MY IDOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm definitely voting for Alanis's current, shorter look. First, I think she looks SO much better without the weight of her hair obscuring her face and body, sort of dragging her down. Second, I think it's a more mature (but still very sexy) look that suits her as she gets older. Third, I just think the cut itself is adorable, and the long bangs and styling suit her face really well. Well done, I say!

I agree with Alanis.

I feel sexier and dress much sexier and more feminine since I cut my hair short.

I also feel more like a woman, less like a girl.

Alanis does too.

She's great. I love her new look. And I love her music!
