Charisma Carpenter - blonder & shorter

It looks like Charisma Carpenter has gone blonder and shorter (jaw-length) with her bob. Check out the trailer for the new Angel Episode at www.thewb.com or at www.vidiot.com. She`s only on for a sec. but the episode airs this coming Monday.

I agree with Karen. She looked great on Buffy - even with the thick heavy bangs she sported for awhile.

I saw her in a preview for a micro second last night. To me, her hair looked like Jennie Garth`s on 90210 during her whole drug problem thing, on the show. (It`s on FX at 2 here now).
I`m not sure if I like it. Maybe it was just pulled back.

She looks amazing! Just saw her on Angel a little earlier tonight. Her hair is really short. Its a really short crop, which appears to be longer in front & on top then in the back. Also her hair only looks blond from the front. It seemed to me that her hair was its natural brunette in the back. I know some people aren`t going to like it but I hope she keeps this look for a while. Short hair really suits her well.

To respectfully disagree and to quote Mr. Horse from the old "Ren&Stimpy" show, "No sir, I don`t like it."

The cut isn`t terrible, since Charisma is attractive enough to pull it off, though she does look better with the length below her chin. However, the extra-blonde color, combined with the unfortunate two-tone effect of the naturally dark back has GOT TO GO. She looks SO much better with dark hair at any length, as evidence just by the quick shots of her in the opening credits. And that isn`t just my preference for brunettes talking.

Oh, and I read somewhere (maybe even here on this board) that the producers wanted her to go blonder to make her character seem less dark (figuratively and, I guess, literally) than the rest of the cast. My only question is why poor Charisma has to suffer just so Amy Acker (Fred) can keep her long dark locks. Yeah, I know it`s more appropriate for Fred`s character than Cordelia`s, but I can rant anyway, can`t I? =)

Saw her on Angel last night - mixed feelings. I actually like the blonde color quite a bit (surprisingly) and kind of like the cut IF it`s styled just right and viewed from the front at the precise right angle. But like most "angular" cuts, ultimately it looks awkward and not very flattering IMHO, especially the two-tone dealie in the back. What happens when she walks outside and the wind lifts up that piece on the right side of her face?

One other thing, Charisma - if you`re going to keep an angular cut like that, which demands the hair fall a certain way close to your face, could you please, PLEASE not tuck it behind your ear for just a little while???

Sorry, personal grievance there....

eeewwww!! I didn`t realize how bad it had gotten until I saw this pic.

I thought ya`ll were referring to the chin length bob she had before, with the blonde streaks.
I don`t like the cut and the blonde is really all wrong for her coloring!! Yikes
The black eyeliner only makes it worse!

Gonna have to disagree with you on this one Gord (as usual). I think she looks very hot with the short hair. She looks more confident, and it shows off her pretty face!
