And wow she looks great with long hair. So just she should only be a short hair woman I think is funny.

Halle Berry's most recent picture! Her hair is obviously pulled back tightly--other pics make that obvious. However, I think these pictures do show that she's getting a bit too old for the super short hair. Much better, the new softness that longer hair gives to her still beautiful face.

Or rather, it proves that pulled-back hair makes her look matronly. . . Actual short hair looks different than hair that's pulled back, so it's not a valid comparison.
Ummm...apparently Fatmoogas and Kuroneko have much sharper resolution on their monitors than I do. I'm struggling mightily to determine why the picture shows that a) Halle's "getting a bit too old for the super short hair" and b) "pulled-back hair makes her look matronly".
Don't get me wrong here, Halle looks fantastic with any length of hair, though I actually do prefer it with at least a little length to it. But by no means is she too old for short hair. That's just silly.
(Quick aside here, has anyone other than me noticed that her head is slightly peanut shaped and that gets more obvious when her hair is super short? Don't know if it's her strong cheekbones or what, but it seems to indent slightly between the ears and the temples. Go look at old pictures and tell me I'm wrong. )
Anyway, speaking of silly, what in the wide wide world of sports make Halle look matronly in that picture? Maybe I have the wrong definition of the word. Let's check Webster's...
Main Entry: ma·tron Pronunciation: 'mA-tr&n Function: noun Etymology: Middle English matrone, from Middle French, from Latin matrona, from matr-, mater 1 a: a married woman usually marked by dignified maturity or social distinction b: a woman who supervises women or children (as in a school or police station) c: the chief officer in a women's organization 2: a female animal kept for breeding
Hmmm...not married, but the other stuff in 1a kinda works. She doesn't supervise children and isn't on the board of NOW, so 1b and 1c are out. I believe 2 would, uh, only apply the deviant fantasies of some folks best, um, left unexplored.
Nope, can't seem to find "beautiful woman who many guys would sell, or at least lease, their mothers for to have a shot with on the very day that picture was taken".
As usual,

Fatmo... they are called opinions... can't someone have one diferent than yours? Lat time I checked it was the "Celebrity hair talk" not "Fatmo the only one with a valid opinion board". Ease up, have fun!

And Hal, you chastise FM for his opinion, but not Kuroneko? (And,
as it was here, she differed with him, not the other way around).
Why the double standard?

Thanks, Dave. I was wondering about that too. As regards the points made by JF (and remember, I never said she looked matronly), I was just stating the obvious truth that a 40 year old Halle Berry isn't the same as a 25 year old HB. She is still beautiful, sure. However, she's reaching the point where she needs to think a bit about ways to maintain her charisma into her post 40th year. That's not easy with so much competition out there. My own belief is that the recourse to longer hair, is to some extent an attempt to add softness to her face as she ages. By any normal standards, of course, she remains very beautiful with any hairstyle (as we all seem to continue saying ad nauseam).
Two points for JF and Hal:
1) JF what hapened to your assurance that HB was due to cut her hair for the movie "Nappily Ever After"? Take a look at Halle's Yahoo movie page and NEA is clearly on the back burner. Of course she may make it eventually, but she seems to deliberately keep it on hold at present (perhaps because it involves cutting her hair at a time when she'd prefer not to?) Anyway, the chemical straightening that JF was speaking about, clearly had nothing to do with the movie.
2) A point for Hal. If we looked at each of your last 20 posts, how many of them would involve complaining about something or attacking someone? I think you are the one who needs to lighten up. Maybe poor Beach Blonde still hasn't gotten over the ferocity of your vitriolic attack.
And Hal, you chastise FM for his opinion, but not Kuroneko? (And, as it was here, she differed with him, not the other way around). Why the double standard?
