Follicle follies

[lumineaux]

After 20+ years of pretty much the same hairstyle, I decided to grow out my bangs.  They are in that horrible awkward stage right now.

On Saturday, in a fit combining both periodness and impatience with my unruly too-long bangs, I pinned them back up over my head and into my snood (and, thanks to Kayleigh McWhyte's help, they stayed there).   High foreheads are supposed to be the height of medieval fashion, right? 

Many of you out there in LJ land saw me.  Many said, "Hey, I didn't recognize you."   Some said "Hey, I didn't recognize you.  You look good." I think there's supposed to be a full stop between those two sentences, but sometimes I'm not sure.

What thoughts from the peanut gallery on my SCAdian 'do sans bangs?  Yes? No? Eh?  Dear God No?  Since I usually hate the way I look no matter how I look, I'm asking for constructive commentary.

I didn't see you Saturday, but I'm very amused by your post since I have bangs this year for the first time in my life!

I liked seeing you without bangs. Your lucky that you have a nice clear smooth forehead. I'm a chicken :oP Always have to have the bangs.

I recognized you on Saturday, didn't even notice your hair was different.

I was afraid that when she showed her M-worthiness she might have bitten her own tongue. :)

Nope, I see my boobage everyday and it desn't distract me.
I'm extremely bad at observing that type of thing.
I remember this friend fro College who was partially bald. Some day he decides to trry and wear a toupee that was covering nicely the (not really small) area. First time I saw him with that my comment was "you've done something to your hair". Apparently it's not the reaction he was expecting :D
So if I don't notice when bald people stop being bald, don't expect me noticing your hair moving around...

How did we start talking about my hair and end up talking about Bruni's boobs? :-)
