Well, let me tell you,
Jay's not the only one that can do something drastic in the name of a good cause. In a rash and un-well-thought-out show of solidarity, I decided to chop off all of my hair, too. However, there was no way I would go completely bald. Except now that it is done, I might as well have. Root Watch '09 was starting to cause major problems, I realized, when I accidentally caught a glimpse of myself in mirrors outside of my home yesterday (the ones in my home are carefully vetted magic mirrors). So, stupid, impetuous me got my hair cut this morning. The good news is I am a giant step closer to getting "back to my roots". The bad news is I look like Napoleon Dynamite.
So in an effort to boost my rapidly waning self-confidence, I am seeking external validation from the one place I know I can get it (and not actually have to hear the laughs). And I am willing to pay for it! But before you get all giddy, here's what I am going to do...
For every comment (one per person, por favor) telling me what a babe I am (and you don't even have to mean it!), I will donate $0.50 to
Jay's head-shaving-cancer-curing fiesta. I may have to cap it, or I may force everyone to actually be honest, if comments surpass available funds (I have kids to put through college, people). We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
I guess all that's left is the big reveal...

Oh DEB!! It looks awesome!! And I'm not even kidding. Did you even cut it? I thought this is how it looked already! I'm gonna go back and watch your video now so I can compare styles and maybe I'll come back and comment again because I'm not sure I'll even leave your blog this entire day....I'm just bopping around.
Cancer-curing fiesta huh?? :-)
i agree, i think it looks awesome too. you look great!
Ah, me likey. It really looks great! Hot in fact! It's kind of spunky, you know!
Did I mention how hot you are?
I like it! You look great - I have a case of short hair envy right now. I think I would like it even better with a bit cut off the back layer.
I'm having short-hair envy. And that isn't good, because I have a hair appointment on Saturday. The Oldest will hate me forever if I can't make a pony tail.
Can you get a nubbin' out of that style? Just a few hairs? That's all it will take for me to be right there with you.
I LOVE it!! Super sassy - and Lord knows I know my sass.
Cute! I would've said so even without the bribe!
You so don't look like Napolean Dynamite! I wish I had the patience to pull off a hair style like that, but I'm too low maintenance.
I am a short hair lover and recently went short with mine too. I really like this Deb! It's totally HOT!
It does look very cute- actually the look I'm going for, but didn't achieve because Super Cuts sucks! No pass over the cash!
You look gorgeous Deb! I'm totally loving the cut!
Love it!! You look about 10 years younger. It's amazing what a good haircut can do! You look fahboo!
No lies! Promise!
Do I actually have to use the word babe?? LOL
No, honest, I really like it!!! Very cute!!!
Awesome way to give, lady!! How fun. I love what Jay is doing!
That haircut looks great on you. Not a thing like Napoleon Dynamite at all.
Why don't you like it? I think you look purty! Very hot indeed! Dare I even say Hubba Hubba!!
:)
Damn, girl, you are SMOKIN' hot!
I, of course, LOVE it! Don't you find it liberating to lop it all off? I certainly did. WTG! :)
Very nice. :-) I'm getting mine cut tonight and am going to post with Hair Dare.
I think your new haircut is perfect. And just in time for the warm spring weather. I think what your doing is great, with the donations but even if you werent I would still like your haircut. I have been debating about hacking all my hair off too....now I might have to take that leap... I just hope it turns out cute like yours!
I think it looks really cute! No, REALLY! You're one hot mama! =)
Well honestly.....I think it looks awesome!
you are ONE HOT BABE. And I am NOT just saying that because I've had three martinis on the beach.
I really mean it. you're hot.
You look so chic!
Wow, that looks like crap.
There's still time to shave your head.
OF COURSE I am kidding...you look awesome!!
You only partially remind me of Napoleon Dynamite..mostly in personality.
It looks great Deb! I don't know why you think it doesn't. I say it's a keeper for sure! :)
Ah-freaking-dorable.
It totally suits you! And the color is great. You look Fabulous!
Roots, what roots??
I love! you look sassy!
Deb, I love it. I think it looks really good. I love shorter hair.
I'm no good at lying. It sucks.
KIDDING. I'm no good at lying and I loooves it.
It's gorgeous!!!
Deb! I really do think it suits you. Looks great!
Napolean Dynamite, my ASS! I thought you were going to have super short, crazy curly hair like him. NOT SO! You look like a babe. It's fun, it's hip, and I LOVE it!
Really, I love it! And, how nice of you to support Jay! You are an awesome, HOT, lady!
It rocks! YOU Rock! Love it! reminds me that I am not only in the need of a serious haircut BUT a color job myself... starting to look like snow up on the mountain LOL!
Deb, I came over from Jay's blog. I was expecting something awful by the way you were talking (typing)but I think it looks great! Really!
i'm not gonna lie...you're HOT!
WTF?!! You're complaining about that? It looks good, woman!!!
I love it!! I think you look great with it short. I wish I had the nerve to cut mine off. I've never been without a pony tail.
Napoleon Dynamite never looked so hot! You look beautiful!
I think you, and your hair, look fantastic!
You look so HIP!!
Mega Babe!
I agree. You're super chic!
I love it! Seriously, I'm not just kissing butt. I really like it. One year I had my hair, and I will quote my husband "you butched it". it was THAT short. Yours, on the other hand is stylish and very cool looking:)
I am also totally having short hair envy, but since i have spent six years - count em people - growing mine out, I am lucky that I just got mine cut - she took off three inches and I almost fainted. But I did not look as hot as Deb with that cut!!
Seriously cute!
Can you come over and finish cutting mine. I decided to hack my bangs off while scrapbooking today. I'm not sure I should be alllowed to have scissors. You did a wonderful job.
So jealous, I simply cannot pull off short hair, but you look great!!
I'm here 'cuz Jay ordered me to come over here--he can be such an ass can't he?
Anyhoo, I love the short cut! I had a Halle Berry cut going on in college in an attempt to make me look like her. Didn't work.
Nah you don't look like Napoleon! It looks nice! and i mean it
You are so cute! And I mean that! And Jay didn't force me to do this because I read your blog before his because I read in alphabetical order. I say go even shorter!!!!!
I like your haircut! I wish i was brave enough to cut mine shorter!
You look gorgeous darling! Yay, 50 cents more to cancer research!! Great idea!
I like it. It makes you look way younger than your 30 years...
You are HOT!!! I think the short hair cut looks great on you!!!
You look awesome. Yes. What a great hair cut!!Seriously...you look mah-velous!
You are amazing and awesome, and beautiful! What a great idea!!
I love you guys.
You look like a beautiful African princess minus the African princess part.
It's lovely...you can totally rock it!
hey i got my hair cut the other day, have you seen it...we are so frickin' hawt!!!! ;)
I love it! I have been really kicking the short hair idea around the last couple of days and I think you've pushed me over the edge! It's really cute and sassy!
You are a babe!! And I really do like the haircut!!
:)

look how cute you are - you are so BRAVE with your hair girlie!!
You look smokin, sexy, beautiful, fabioish, movie star, and gorgeous...You did say .50 per word right?? tehe..
It looks so good...hot~stuff!!
You are always so harsh with yourself! You look fantabulous as always. And the color, I can see it best in the light of pic One, looks gorgeous!!
Looks good!
Ya look marvelous!
Looks great! Nothing at all like Napoleon ... sassy and sophisticated!
i like it!!!
Not to say you are, but you now can pass as my younger sister— I always wanted one of those.
The first shot shows more of the color than the second. Very nice. And a nice bob as well.
So, for every comment made to you about your hottness...I will match with you..Just let me know!
Short hair makes you look younger and I would say it works for you. My girls tell me I look better with short hair. I am thinking that I would really look young bald.. well maybe not...
At least that weird haircut takes away from your gray hair.
Just kidding! I think you look super cute. This coming from someone who got bangs yesterday. What was I thinking?
Love the hair cut!!! I soooo need to get one myself, especially with the heat we're set to endure here in Louisiana.. ugh!
I. love. it!
It just about inspires me to go shorter than my own newly short haircut which I hate too (actually, it's just the bangs I hate; thank God for bobby pins, right?).
And the progress you made on getting back to your roots is pretty impressive. Salt & pepper hair is sexy, Deb!
It looks super cute, Deb! Here's to chopping hair off! :)
I think your hair looks adorable!!! and nothing like N. Dynamite!!!
wow........you look AMAZING!!!! (granted i'm new so i really don't know what you looked like before but, i think you look FABULOUS!)
love that you're doing this!
Cute,cute!
I love a short do, but I'll be sporting my momma ponytail for a few more years!
I think your hair looks great! It is getting warmer out and this is the perfect doo for the summer. You are stylin'!
Deb- I think it's super cute. Not every woman could carry off such a stylish short cut, you certainly have the look down! -e
Is it too late to comment? You're a babe. :)
