Normally, there would be background info. Like, maybe I would remind you guys about the horrible things that happened the last time I went to a salon.
Or maybe I'd tell you about the time I was watching "Rosemary's Baby" and, despite the fact that there were a bunch of people having naked, nasty devilsex right in front of me, all I could think about was how adorable Mia Farrow's hair looked.
Or maybe I'd show you a Kat-through-the-years pictorial to illustrate that -- apart from a brief and regrettable blonde phase during college -- I am such a style-related sissypants that I've pretty much had the same haircut since 1989, and it was high time to stop dicking around.
But in this case, there's kind of no point. Because no matter what I say, this is one of those times when no amount of elegant verbiage can make the point better than this....
...followed by this.
Yep, that's right: IT'S ALL GONE. And this week, Locks of Love will be receiving an envelope containing sixteen inches of my hair. (Sixteen inches of love, y'all -- because size does matter.)
Which I am telling you not because I want you to think I'm a wonderful person, but because I'm hoping it'll distract you from my ham-fisted attempt to skew opinion in favor of the new haircut by posting a "before" shot that makes me look like the bastard child of Jack Nicholson's Joker and the demonic television-dwelling ghost from The Ring.
It didn't work, did it.

Were you inspired by that short-haired chick in the new iPhone commercial?
I did this...
I'm trying to grow my hair back now and it is taking a very long time.
Well I think you look good in BOTH pictures. It would take a lot of bravery & possibly some kind of physical restraints in order for me to cut my hair that short, my hair is like my security blanket. You look fabulous, & it's fantastic that you donated those extra-long locks. :)
Hmmm, Kat Farrow. I like your new name.
You look fabulous! Your features are perfect for such a haircut. You're totally rockin it.
The new haircut looks adorable!
I think it looks awesome, seriously.
you are beautiful!
outside, and inside :)
I donated 17 inches to locks of love four or five years ago. It was a huge change! I cried a bit. But it was totally worth it! Although I got a bob. I don't have the bone structure for that lovely pixie cut that looks adorable on you!
Wow! That short 'do looks fantastic!
You have the perfect features to pull off that haircut. It looks lovely on you.
I also love whatever's behind you. Is that a shower curtain or a window curtain or what? It's gorgeous.
Kat, I love it. Suits you well.
you have the kind of face and proportions that allows you to do pretty much any hairstyle. I envy you!
If I dared to do that, I'd look like a combination pre-pubescent boy-goat-alien thing.
You look great with short hair, and it looks a lot more comfortable than in the previous picture.
I applaud you for being bold and socially conscious!
Your long hair was gorgeous but I absolutely adore it short, it's such a striking difference! You're so brave! :)
Oh. tempting, especially now that every second girl has a bob.
I'm a complete stranger with zero incentive to lie, and you look flipping amazing with the short hair.
You can see your eyes! Those cheekbones! Your hair is the cut that makes long-haired girls wish they were braver. Adorable!
Very Audrey Hepburn. LOVE.
(also one growing hair out froma very short cut at moment, but so envious you can pull this off!)
Oh it's good! Very good!
I'm late here, but I have to say that I'm totally jealous of the new 'do, as I rocked the pixie for years and loved every second of it. I grew my hair out simply because I had never really done it before and actually kept it for any length of time.
Now I feel too "not skinny" for the pixie. But if I lose 15 pounds, I'll be your partner in hair, toots.
I SO miss the freedom of short hair...
I LOVE the hair!
It really brings out your lovely features.
