Mary Pierce

Sadly, the woman with the second best hair in women`s professional tennis has fallen out of the top 10 hairstyles. (Yes, Anna Kournikova is the undisputed No. 1.) Mary Pierce appears to have hacked her gorgeous blonde mane into a shoulder-length creation: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/020507/168/1i305.html

It was shoulder length a couple months back and is now even shorter. Maybe she didn`t like the layers. My girlfriend at the time got the `Friends` cut when it was popular and immediatly hated the layers and had them cut. She went from mid-back to jaw length in two weeks. Her logic was short hair is better than layers.

I agree Mary looked better with long hair (I don`t have a short or long hair bias), and Ana won`t be cutting hers anytime soon. That would hurt her endorsements big time. She is known for the hair, face, body...and not the tennis.

Hey Gord, I`m not looking for any fights & I actually agree with you to a certain extent. There is no reason why we shouldn`t co-exist. Differing opinions is what makes the world go round, & if we all agreed on everything, life would get pretty boring. I wasn`t accussing you of anything, & I `m sorry if you felt that way. Perhaps I expressed myself poorly. I was just curious, because you didn`t give any reasons for why, she was suddenly off your list, other then the haircut, so perhaps I jumped to an improper conclusion. I`m sorry. After reading your second message, I see your viewpoint & can understand it. I may not agree with it but I can accept it. Also, to my knowledge I don`t believe I have ever done any attacking on this board. I try hard to stay away from it whenever possible. If you feel that I said things that are either attacking, or confrontational, I ask that you please let me know, so I can best try to stop. I try to make mostly positive comments & stick to talking about hair, as this board should suggest, but hey nobody`s perfect all the time, & I hope we can clear up any misunderstanding that we may have had, & learn to live in peace. I enjoy reading most of the messages on here & never look to start any trouble. So again I`m sorry, & hopefully, we can all get along.

I`m going to wait until I see a picture of her with her hair down before I get off the fence on this one. I can say blonder is better for her... and so far longer and bangier sure helped hide that stump in the center of her face... maybe she should be a bit more truthful and she could wear her hair any way she wants.

She`s a man, baby! Doesn`t matter whether her hair is long or short, she is just too masculine. Again, this is MY opinion so no need to flame the living s..t out of me.

From an interview from the Family Circle Cup site (http://www.familycirclecup.com/2002/inverview/020416-pierce.htm):

Q. What inspired you to cut your hair?
MARY PIERCE: Inspired? You know, in November I just went to get my hair trimmed, you know, and it was really down there, and on the way over for some reason I just thought, I don`t know, I`ve just always wanted to have short hair. And I just went and I just thought about it. I was like, oh. Remember when Jennifer Anniston had really long hair and then she cut it really short? I thought maybe I`ll just get a new haircut, cut it all off. New year, something different.

Q. Take a while to get used to or?
MARY PIERCE: Well, yeah. I mean the first couple of days it just felt kind of funny. You know, I`m so used to like that, and there`s no hair there. So it was kind of funny, but I love it. It`s so much lighter.

So there you go. Doesn`t surprise me because Mary actually wanted to cut her hair years ago, but her hyper-controlling father wouldn`t allow it.

Later,
