I did it: I came out as a short-haired person at work today. I am still not used to being told I look cute however - I've never been the kind of girl people praised as cute (smart, or tall, or something, sure, but never cute).

Photos - and probably a new default icon - RSN. :)

I'm sure you look great! I know having long hair was a big part of what you think you look like, so 'coming out' must have been a little scary. I'm glad to hear your office was so enthusiastic ;-)

I still feel like a long-haired person temporarily playing short haired. But I'm liking it more and more as time goes on.

Are you planning on potentially keeping it short, then?

For definitions of "short" that other people probably wouldn't consider short -- like shoulder-length :)

Other people, of course, not being you and me. ;) I look forward to seeing your pictures!

Well, at the moment Keri's hair is long compared to mine....

When I whacked all of my hair off (albeit, by choice), I felt that way for a long time, too.

I have always hated "cute". Sexy or attractive is fine, but "cute" just smacks of ribbons and lace.
I look forward to pics. I bet it looks *fantastic*.

I think maybe people use "cute" because somehow "beautiful" became reserved for artificially-enhanced fashion models. Pity.

Any rate, Jane, I'm glad to hear this news. It must have been difficult!

Depends on context

"Cute" is pretty mild, but that makes it a useful term in a work setting.

You've always been cute. It was never "the hair" that was cute. Go you!

A huge step, and I'm so happy it was positive for you! I'm looking forward to pics.
