[QUOTE=JCorre] Does [this](http://www.cineastentreff.de/teleschau/200617/1/200617_167766_1_024.jpg) look “plain, sensible and boring”? I think short hair is hot. [/QUOTE] link doesn’t work ---

Well **Murdoch’s** post #39, esp. #'s 2 & 3, pretty much sum it up for me. Until she went kaka kookoo in the head and became a klepto, Winona was probably the sexiest woman on the planet for me. Nicole is a close #2 (pity anymore that she’s hardly on that show which is hardly on, _The Dead Zone_). ---

Yes. But I have a long and tragic history of falling for lesbians. (Well, they **say** they’re lesbians!) ---

it can be totally hot. Early 80’s punk boy cuts, oh.my.gawd. These are NOT mothers, tough business women or a certain style of lesbian style looks. ---

short hair is super sexy on women! It is very high maintenance, though. It is just like men who wear a beard because they think it means less work because they don’t have to shave. Having a beard is a lot more work than shaving every day (I had one for a few years). Shortish messy hair, ugh ---

[QUOTE=athelas] Generally no, but in some cases it does work to advantage. Have to take it on an individual basis, I guess. [/QUOTE] I agree with this wholeheartedly. I noticed in _Flight Plan_ that Jodie Foster actually does look much better in short hair; long hair on her just emphasizes the thin mouth and lantern jaw. It all depends on the individual. ---

I can’t believe how difficult it was to find another source for that photo. Let me know if this doesn’t work (the quality of the shot isn’t as good but it represents the point). It should be a close up of the 2 ladies looking right into the heart of the camera in the most alluring, mysterious and _hungry_ way.
