I enjoyed the re-read, and I love the new β€˜do! I hope you grow more comfortable with it as the days pass, but heyβ€”hats are wonderful things!

Love the haircut! Being 5ft nothing and shrinking I am at the other end of the spectrum. Ordering a drink at a crowded bar can be very problematic but I don’t get a drink πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜˜

I love your new look! Feisty and fun! I don't like fussing with products, styling , even blow drying. Getting out of the shower and ruffling up my hair is the best!

I love the haircut! And also the neck and shoulders - you rock it!

Love it. We call them swimmer's shoulders and it's true - halternecks and bare backs are brilliant for those so blessed!

As for 6 feet tall, so what! You can always see over the crowd and from one who is shrinking as each minute passes, I say - 'Own it!' To which I would also add, 'Bigtime!!!!'

I love your new haircut Rebecca, it looks amazing! However, it's not about what I think but how it makes you feel so I hope you come around to enjoying it.

I dunno, Rebecca. Your short hair looks great, and I don't note anything amiss about your shoulders. I'd certainly stand you a drink wherever we met, and never call you "Sir".

I love the new haircut in your selfie, but I know if you can’t find peace in it, it’s got to go!

No one is unkinder than our own inner voice - although some of the eejits you cite here are a close second!! After years of feeling bad about my own appearance, an artsy friend shared that famous Edith Sitwell quote: *If one is a greyhound, why try to look like a Pekingese?* and it made me think differently. You on the other hand look fabulous and I loved reading about your triumphant evolution. Such a joyous ending too! xo

Love the hair! I hope you come to love to once you get over the shock.

Rebecca, I had a good laugh! Thank you for this. I totally relate to people mistaking me as a sir instead of a ma'am. Sometimes, I'd raise the pitch of my voice, "no worries!" I'd say in the sweetest, most understanding way and they'll get more flustered. Definitely love the new look. Keep being YOU!
