with what-it-seemed-my-eternal long hair
as July 03, 2009
that's when i took these photos
and then
i went all FUN and chopped it all off!
yaaay! it felt great!!
liberating, like a feminist
burning a bra!
this affair of the long hair
was sort of new for me anyway
while living in Mexico city
i never wore my hair longer than my shoulders
and i had a couple of times with very short hair
while living in San Diego
i have let my grown longer a couple of times
my hair was even longer than on this photo
a couple of months ago
it almost reached my waist
but since then i have cut it a couple of times
so here my hair, extended was about
15' = 38 cms.
my hairdresser kept it and it's going
to make a wig with it for cancer patients
here so many bottles of shampoo
so many brush strokes, pony tails,
caresses, and pulls...
it's been 10 days since i've had
this my new short summer hair
and i love it!!
i don't really care if i look better or worse
but i just feel 'cleaner'
i haven't regret to cut it off a single time
i didn't know what to do with the long hair
anymore, anyway, at night specially,
sometimes i feel i look a bit nerdy
but after all i've always been more of a
dorky girl with shorter hair
than a long-haired diva
somehow
i do feel more myself with this shorter hair
i feel fresh, lighter, and some
air seems to filter through the scalp 'cause
no headaches either lately, hmmm mmmm...
interesting... & here more silly happy face

Bonjour Berenice,
Back from holidays with a brain vitalized by fresh air from the Pyrenees, let me tell you this: you are beautiful with long hair, with short hair and probably without hair, too.
This said, I prefer you with long hair, piled up on top, somehow.
Georg
ah ha ha herr Georg, vielen Dank for the compliments, you are too nice, i might try the ala Sinead O'Conor one time, huh? and yeah, the piling on top 'somehow' was causing the trouble, the 'somehow' was mostly always a 'no-how', so off it went! heh heh, glad you are back from the Pyrenees, did you get to see Belle et Sebastian there? heh heh, LOVED these cartoons, of course, i saw them dubbed in Spanish, every time i think Pyrenees, i think Belle et Sebastian :)

Wow! I must say, Bere, if you are gonna get rid of more than a foot of your beautiful hair, the thought that it will now make a cancer patient a lot happier is a consolation! :o) Definitely dedicating my next bottle of Crush's finest orange soda to you and your locks! Prost! ;o)
ahhh hello mister Smorg, und Prost to you! and LOL thank you! on the cheers with Crush's orange soda, couldn't think of a better drink to celebrate, heh heh! nice!
Like Georg said, you look good either ways; besides it's only hair...it'll grow out soon that is if you regret having cut it...
I think the new look is great!
aww muchas gracias dear ID! so many compliments, gonna post more pix of myself for Ego boost, heh heh
and NO regrets so far of the cut, feeling fresher for the summer
gracias y buenas noches a Usted! :)
Heyy! Looks great, very cute! Yes, very airy and summer-like. I could have that maybe..but its just not long enough hot here, hehehe.
Hallo Berenice,
Just had a look at Belle and Sebastian: first time I hear about those.
I'll ask Elisabeth if she knows them. Could be: she had a TV youth and was fed on cartoons.
Georg
ahhhh vielen Dank Frau Feli!!
and soo glad to see you here, i like how you look with your hair now, and you are right the Berliner Summer is never as long or hot as it's here! but also you looked soo cute with NO hair, heh heh, as i saw you on 23 ;)
cheers Frau Felita, and warm hugs from California
and herr Georg, ja! :) Belle and Sebastian are really cool cartoons, i am almost sure Elisabeth might know them although not from her chilhood, they are 'relatively new' but even as an adult i watch cartoons, so she might be like me and know them, they become really popular all over the world, i think... glad you enjoyed them!
