I did it.
More pics after the jump.
For as long as I can remember, Bad Elf and I have held strong to the motto, “Your hair is who you are.” I’d like to say we’re joking, but we’re probably not. So I guess now I’m saying, “I am not my hair.” I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, but always found a new color I had to try first. Well, on Friday I was spurred on by one of my favorite songs.
I am the angry mob, I read the papers every day.
I like who I like, I hate who I hate, but I’m also easily swayed.
MB had far too much fun shearing me. I’m enjoying low maintenance. Well really, no maintenance. And honestly, as corny as it sounds, this is the symbolic beginning of Project Angry Baker.
*thanks Thai Baby for the graphic work.
Love it Sinead Baker…………
I knew I’d regret missing church today
I am in awe.
I missed it too, but Eric told me you’d changed your hair again…
I’ve always wanted to try that, but I don’t have the guts. Can I rub your head the next time I see you?
You have my permission – I know that’s what everybody wants to do:)
Janet told me today that Eric keeps tabs on my hair – I love that!
I’ve been saying the same thing for years: that I want to shave my head and be done with it all. I wouldn’t look nearly as gorgeous as you . . . but I’m more tempted than ever.
For those that are interested, AngryBaker was shorn with a #2 guard on the clippers. The hair is short enough that the sun can now reach her scalp. After a week or two of exposure we will be ready to move to a #1.
So is the goal to match?
To match she would need to take a razor to it. I don’t think that will happen.
Such a serious reply to such a non-serious question. I thought you were MB, dude!
I am mad at you.
I will say this, we would have benefited from professionally maintained clippers. Ours hadn’t been oiled in too long.
that must have hurt! i always told her i would never be the one to do this, it would have to be you… i just wish it wasn’t to a ‘do’ that i loved soooooo much. *tear*
I knew you would be. That’s why I didn’t tell you:)
That was my first thought actually…”Magic Hands is going to be very unhappy!”
You make it look good! I’m so jealous about the low maintenance. LY
Okay, first the nose ring and now the hair–it’s me at 19. Everyone thought I was a lesbian.
I’m regressing. And so far, I think people think I have an illness since I’m generally with my kids when I’m out and about. But MB and I did have discussion about how I feel the need to wear earrings to appear more feminine.
Gorgeous. I wish I had your energy for life!
“The symbolic beginning of Project Angry Baker”–what is Project Angry Baker? I thought I was brave going for short hair–you put me to shame. I laughed when I saw Liz’s comment. Sinead O’Connor. Wish I could be there to see people’s reactions: at church, at the kids’ school,… the kids what did Dutch do? You’re my favorite. Now you need to post the many hairstyles of Angry Baker (That book I was suppose to make and never did).
We’ll talk.
Thats pretty short! I always said I would do that if my kids got cancer…but look at you. You did it on your own!
It must be so light and breezy! So a few questions: Is the plan to keep it this way forevery and therefore not color your hair anymore? (b/c i really thought some dark hair with blue streaks would be awesome) Is MB serious about using #1 next week? Does this mean you will have to wear hats or sunscreen on your head?
Miss you!
No hairstyle is forever with me. I can’t handle that kind of commitment. No this is just for now, and it is soooo easy. And yeah, I think we’ll go to a #1 once my scalp gets some color – and yeah, I’m realizing i’ve got to keep hats and sunblock handy. Another weird thing: I didn’t realize how much a little bit of hair keeps water out of your eyes and protects your head from breezes or hard water pressure in the shower!
Graphics soon!!! I am definitely putting in “I am not my hair” in one.
Oh and this in case they don’t know. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9wc0u7DfTg
I love low maintenance when it comes to hair. Way to go!
Wait! The pictures just changed! If this happens with your other posts, I want to be notified. Great work, Thai Baby!
Yeah – I didn’t even ask how your kids reacted. I know some kids freak out when mommy changes her hair. Well… I told you…. Milo went nuts – couldn’t stop talking about your short hair…..
You make me weep with happiness once in a while
It really does look good on you. Does it feel weird to lay down on?
Wow. I saw this earlier in the week when MB called our parents to tell them to look at the pictures. I think you can pull off any hair style or non hair style. Pretty cool! I can’t even imagine what it must feel like to have no hair. I have always said my hair is one of my 3 best traits (kind of joking, I wrote a post about it long ago). I really am too scared to ever do anything like this. I really believe in your motto. Perhaps it’s bad to be so attached.
I’ve been gone. I’m so happy to see your baldness. I love sheared hair. It’s freeing. It’s so wonderfully easy. But you’re right about earrings. I often found myself needing to have earrings on so I wouldn’t be mistaken for a boy. But it still happened.
Looks good!
