Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks has gone from longer and straight to shorter and poofy -- pretty much the way I first saw her in the Chicks years ago. Personally, I'll miss longer and straight, although I'm guessing others will disagree.

Short and sleek would work better for her than short and puffy. She
already has a wide, round face, and the puffy hair makes her head look
even fatter. However I do like the Dixie Chicks music, they are one of the more talented country groups (and I was born and raised in the New York City area, not exactly country music territory, so if I like a country act, they must have some talent and appeal beyond the usual country music bunch of folks). ------------- in my red skirt, pantyhose, and high heels..... |

Glad she went shorter, and normally would like this style, but not on her. I still think her best look was the short, layered 'do from years ago.
IMHO, the Chicks as a group all have great hair, and all never quite seem to find the right style for it. I always look at them and think "well, almost...." ------------- Your hair is your best accessory; wear it with STYLE! |

| You know Larry the Cable Guy said it, if it weren't for the other two, Natalie would be a nobody working at Fashion Bug. |

Larry the Cable Guy? Isn't he the "Git er done" guy? Well, there's someone obviously known for his fine taste in women. Give me a break.
Natalie Maines has a phenomenal singing voice, no matter you might think of her politics. Or even what you might think of her hair.

| no, the short and puffy thing does not work, the long look was best. If she wants short, she is probably looking at a sleek bob or pixie.... |

 This retro 50's style is blah! Her hair had been looking great before the chop. But, anyway, I really can't stand celebs of any political stripe who would proseletyze during *entertainment* shows. Given *her* political slant, I'll be surprised if Natalie ever returns to long and sensuous. I'm expecting short and cropped soon. Best, Bob

The reason she said what she did politically was that the Dixie Chicks
were playing a concert in Europe and getting booed off the stage by
people yelling at them to "go back to Texas" because Bush was from
Texas, so she said "I am not for Bush, he is an embrassment to
Texas". Actually her views are not controversial these days, almost the entire world doesn't like Bush and two-thirds of Americans don't like the Bush administration either according to the surveys. The Bush administration is viewed negatively or as incompetent by most people, which is why the Republicans running for Congress are distancing themselves from Bush, and are asking him not to campaign for them. You must remember that half of Americans don't vote, and Bush only got half the vote of those who did vote. I'm a Republican and vote Republican for Congress and I believe the Bush administration is dealing with Afghanistan and Iraq, and other things like border patrol, and corruption, in an incompetent way. So even the Bush administration's fellow Republicans are turning against them. The Bush administration is hurting Republicans, and as a result of this we may lose the mid-term elections to the Democrats. ------------- in my red skirt, pantyhose, and high heels..... |

Just my humble opinion of course, but unless we are discussing Bush's hair, I do not feel it is in any way appropriate to be discussing him here.
People are often very passionate about their beliefs where politics and relegion are concerened. This is a forum to discuss celebrity hair, not national and international politics. That totally sucked the fun out of this visit to the board for me.

| And by the way,back to celebrity hair, with regard to Natalies hair, I'm not so sure that it's cut as much as we think. I saw her on an entertainment show last night, and I couldn't see any really conclusive ends. This might(i'm not certain) be one of the best faux-bob/updo's we've seen. |

Sorry to spoil your fun, but others commented on the Dixie Chicks political statements, so I just commented on that. This is an election season, it is difficult to avoid politics completely, the elections are soon. It doesn't disturb my fun any discussing politics, it is just part of life. However, this is a hairstyle forum, so getting back to her hair, I wish she would style it differently, although when I saw her on tv recently her hair looked better than in those photos. ------------- in my red skirt, pantyhose, and high heels..... |

I will say though, I will be glad when the elections are over. Voting is soon. On Nov. 7th, then it will be done for awhile.

Don't liberals usually grow their hair very long? |

Interesting.You mention that since it's "election season", it's "difficult to avoid politics completely". Really? Well, check the rest of the board, I don't see it anywhere else!! No mention of Bush, no"I'm a Republican", yada, yada.
Thousands of American servicemen and women are now dead, not to mention civilians of other nations overseas. Did it ever occur to you that people of differing political persuasions, some of whom have lost spouses, childern, other relatives or friends, might come to sites like this to escape for awhile??Not be reminded of the mess that we've been led into? There are thousands of sites, chat rooms, and message boards out there to debate such things.IMO, this is not the place. I don't care that you are a republican. I don't care how you vote. I don't even care that you are sitting there in your "red skirt, pantyhose, and high heels". I care, (though mostly disagree in your particular case), with what you think about celebrity hair news.
I'm glad "your fun isn't disturbed" by discussing politics, I would just respectfully request you have said fun in an appropriate forum!

Rardman, now please settle down fella. There is no need for hysterics or
defensiveness on your part, I wasn't launching an attack on anyone. Once in a while people might mention politics on a non-political messageboard. It sometimes happens. No need to get all worked up about it. And I didn't bring up the subject here, others did. I also have nothing but respect for our men and women in the military. Since you don't want to discuss politics, then why didn't you just let the subject drop, instead of commenting on what I wrote? So now, let's let the subject of politics drop, shall we. Thank you much. ------------- in my red skirt, pantyhose, and high heels..... |

Carol,
This will be my last post on this. Hopefully you are done as well. I was hardly being "hysterical". I was not attacking you. I did not infer that your position was right or wrong. I simply started this by saying I didn't think this was the right forum to address such matters. I still don't.
All the best.

Is it ok to comment on their music? If i didn't already mention it, I
like their music. They're good (for a country group. lol! Excuse me, I'm from New
York City). ------------- in my red skirt, pantyhose, and high heels..... |

Well, Heath, I was speaking more about the *angry* folks, whether liberal or not, who tend to wear their hair either cropped or long and stringy looking. Natalie is one furious gal, IMO.
I too have very strong political belifs, and utter contempt for many politicians. But, were I musically talented, I would NOT express them at my concerts. Paying customers have a right to enjoy themselves. And as for Ms. Maines herself, I hope the day comes when she becomes less self-consumed and recaptures a lust for life. She should listen to Billy Joel's "Angry Young Man". The shoe may well fit her. Blessings, Bob

Anger for the right reasons is not necessarily a bad thing. I saw Natalie interviewed on tv the other day and she wasn't angry at all, she seemed happy and relaxed. I am sure she is not angry most of the time. Her hair looked much better than that pic also, it was styled differently. She looked like she had lost a little weight too, in fact she looked very healthy. Her and the other ladies in the group all looked happy and healthy. ------------- in my red skirt, pantyhose, and high heels..... |
