Well, pooh! Is it wrong to whinge that WordPress and Google AdSense don’t get along? And to kvetch that damn, wish I’d figured that out sooner, like before I pretzled my brain dealing with the subscription issue?
Good thing I like to learn stuff. (Pollyanna, don’t fail me now!)
Watch for “We’re Moving” notifications, folks.
Good golly. And sheesh.
Subscribe! Please?

I’m pretty sure I just figured out the subscription thingie.
It’s over there, to the right, above “Pages.” See?
Please help me test it!
And if anyone can get tall, dreamy Clive Owen to subscribe, I’ll name all my first-born children after you, too. (Harley P, if you can make it happen, it sure would keep that naming thing simple. The kids would thank you.)
Thank you.

Sheesh. Tinkering with the Chop it OFF post to include Lisa Festa’s photos and re-position the others took me hours, but it’s done.
And yes, hours. I’m still learning this blogware. In the words of Brett Butler as Joy’s mother on “My Name is Earl,” season one, “don’t judge me.”
Sheesh, sheesh. Now it occurs to me I could have called the post Haircut 100. Anyone else cool enough to remember that new-wave Brit band from the ’80s? (Good golly they look nerdy in their “Love Plus One” video! Well, I was a nerd in high school. Whatev.)
Reasons to Consider Chopping it Off

Of course I don’t think everyone should go cut off their hair this minute. Giselle Bundchen? No way, uh-uh. Celeb stylist Sam McKnight, responsible for Princess Diana’s jaw-dropping Harper’s Bazaar-cover hair as well as many of Giselle’s cover looks, would weep. But some people should take the short cut. Maybe this checklist will help?
1) Your hair is nothing but long and you only ever wear it in a boring ponytail. C’mon, be honest.
2) Your hair is long and thin and straight — and stringy. And you only ever wear it in a boring ponytail. The right shorter cut will add body and swing to thin, straight hair.
3) You’re desperate for a style update. A shorter, modern cut that works with your hair texture is a style update for your face and your wardrobe.
4) You’re 5′5″ or less. A shorter chic style will make you look taller. Really.
5) You have misbehavin’ hair. A good shorter cut that makes the most of your texture (like my cut does for me) will put you in charge, maybe for the very first time.
6) You have loads of split ends. Split ends travel up the hair shaft if left unchecked. Your hair will look much healthier and be much more manageable if you cut all your splits off.
Okay, now let’s go see someone about a little snip-snip.
Chop it OFF. Seriously.

I’m a copycat. I admit it. Also, I’m a little slow….
Way back in October 2007, P&G Beauty PR manager Lisa Festa, 47, had her long hair chopped off for donation at the Pantene Beautiful Lengths kick-off in Toronto. Already a gorgeous woman, post-cut Lisa was unfairly more striking and modern in a just-below-chin-length, chic textured shag by Justin German, co-owner of Shagg Salon. In fact, that crop was a stadium-wave to the power of the right cut in making someone look (even) younger. I took note. Read the rest of this entry »
