If I might be so bold, I think she looks sad because that hair style drags the face down. I just love the style, and wish to goddess I could wear it, but when gravity takes its toll, the last thing we need is hair that is drooping along already drooping jowls. I am also a retired stylist, and did started doing hair back in the 70s, when it was an unspoken rule that the older you got, the shorted your hair was supposed to be. I flaunted this by wearing a pixie much like Jamie’s most of my life. When I hit 40, I let it grow long, and it did make me look younger then. Now at 56, on Thursday, I think a classic bob is a good style for me. The only drawback is the when I had my last child, 17 years ago, my stick straight hair developed an unruly wave. Now I have to use a flat iron to get it to lay right. I would go back to the pixie in a minute, but I think a bit of coverage around the fluffy face looks better. Plus I like to have a little swing in my hair when I toss my head, doncha know.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, Robin. Aside from the ones you mentioned, everyone else looks like an average suburban mom or grandmom to me, not glamorous stars. I mentioned in a previous post, hiding or drawing attention away from one’s neck seems to be necessary after a certain age for most of us. Norah Ephron would agree!

Seems to me Krys, if it feels good to you - that’s what you should wear.
