Pixie Cuts and a Giveaway

| celebrity, Fashion and Style, giveaway

Some of you got a sneak peak of this post yesterday, silly Blogger scheduler.  Well, today you get the full thing plus a giveaway – what could be better?

Monday I was gchatting with my friend Samantha and when she wrote, “I’m getting my hair cut tomorrow and I am thinking of going short” – my immediate reaction was PIXIE!  Then I thought about who I was talking to and asked if she was thinking shoulder short or pixie.  Her reaction was “oh **** (rhymes with duck) no, like between shoulder and chin i was thinking.”  My response, oh, that makes sense.  Then I started wondering, why did my mind immediately jump to pixie?  Oh maybe because every celeb under the sun seams to have chopped off their hair in favor of this boyish do:

My hair has been about the same length plus or minus a few inches for the last ten years and I thought about what it would be like to make a major change. These celebs cut at least a foot off their once luscious locks.

My favorite part, the pixie thing is not actually a new thing.  Audrey Hepburn had a pixie cut in the 1953 movie Roman Holiday so she could get a break from her royal duties as a princess.  It is also interesting that at the time the cut was referred to as the bouffant, the flip, the poodle, and the artichoke – thank goodness “pixie” stuck.

There are countless celebs who have seem to make the chop but these six are my favorite:

Jennifer Lawrence Pixie Cut Transformation
Anne Hathaway Pixie Cut Transformation
Charlize Theron Pixie Cut Transformation
Miley Cyrus Pixie Cut Transformation
Rihanna Pixie Cut Transformation
Pamela Anderson Pixie Cut Transformation
What do you think of these ladies and their drastic changes? 
Would you ever do something this drastic? 
Oh, and why not leave you with a great giveaway this day before Thanksgiving?  I have teamed up with some lovely ladies over at  Helene in Between and we are giving away $135 to wherever your heart desires. That’s right. We are feeling super warm and fuzzy. Want Target? You got it. Feeling frisky for J Crew? Consider it done. Starbucks, Paypal Cash, Sephora….whatever you want. You win, you choose!

    Nope, I am way attached to my hair, shoulder length is the shortest it’s ever been and that was in 5th grade. I get about 2 inches cut off – once a year. Some people can rock pixie, but I think everyone of those celebs, it makes them look older.
