    Pixie Cuts - Hit or Miss? Also, Can Big People Rock Them?

    Hairstyles - Hits & Misses - Pixie Cut

    I have a very mixed stance on the Pixie cut. Part of me thinks that women only rock this look if they are too lazy to do the whole blow dry and prep work involved with longer looks. But now that I am older, the idea seems “oh so welcoming”. No fuss, no muss.

    Pixie Haircut - Winona Ryder - Reality Bites

    The very first time I even entertained the idea was when I saw Winona Ryder in Reality Bites. Super cute!

    Pixie Haircut - Mia Farrow - Rosemarys Baby

    Despite the fact that she got hoodwinked into birthing the Anti-Christ, Mia Farrow’s hair was polished and sharp in Rosemary’s Baby…

    Pixie Haircut -Natalie Portman - Celebrity Hairstyles

    Personally if I had Natalie Portman’s face, I could shave my head and still be 100x more attractive than 90% of the population…

    So there are prime examples of the Pixie Cut working! But here comes my next bit, do you see the common thread amongst these examples?

    They are all petite TINY ladies! ( Go ahead look back up and check it out, am I right or what!) I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, the name of the cut has “Pixie” in it for Pete’s sake.

    Which begs the question - Can big people sport the Pixie without looking like they shrunk their head? Have you ever seen a full-figured person with a Pixie cut? I am sitting here right now, racking my brain trying to think of an example, and God help me I can’t picture one..

    I am probably wrong. Can you guys think of examples where the Pixie cut rocks on a normal slash larger person?

    Trend Alert: Matte Lipstick

    I really love the new Miu Miu ads featuring Kirsten Dunst. One of the most interesting thing about them is her matte red lipstick.  Very Winona Ryder circa the nineties:

    Oh, those were sweet, sweet days. And just look at that Johnny Depp!

    I wonder if Dunst has the power to usher in the pale face/blood red look back into fashion.  I mean, she’s cute and all, but she’s no Winona.  Either way, I just hope that in the ten years since the non-glossy look has been in vogue, the makeup gods have figured out a way to keep matte lipstick from sucking every ounce of moisture from your lips.

    Quick tip: If you’re gonna go matte, gently exfoliate your lips first to avoid unsightly peeling. Trust me.
