(Note: if you are my Mother, you might want to SKIP reading the following post as it involves HAIR that is being CUT, and I know how that… upsets you… You have been warned, Shirley!)
My girl got a haircut the other day. Cut and color. She'd been wanting to chop the old locks off for a while now, and who am I—the global embassador of short hair—to stop her?
I mean, it's not like it's that short. It's still longer than mine, which means I still WIN! But she can do artsy-moody pretty well, so maybe I need to watch my back.
She also does the winsome, contemplative side-gaze fairly well.
Oh, who am I kidding? In the generationally transcendent words of MC Hammer: you can't touch this.
Tamara says
Wow … she looks so much older! That colour is totally awesome too …. LOVE it!!
JanaMillen says
So cute! And I love the color.
Barb says
Gorgeous! I love it! My one-three just got her hair cut similar to that about a month ago. She’s literally the ONLY girl at the junior high school who has short hair. I love it. Here’s to daring girls with style!
Kel_eh says
Seriously, gorgeous! Not surprised that your daughter comes with moxie though!
Melanie Louette says
Oh, she looks fantastic! And so much like you. She sure looks like she’s got a lot of spunk and style.

peace
Kim

She’s beautiful! It is fun to watch her grow up on your blog.

She looks stunning!! That cut and color suit her SO well!! Rock on, Aidan!
Sarah says
What a cute cut & color! It does, however, make her look much older and even makes her resemble her beautiful mother all-the-more. I’m sure her grandmother will LOVE IT, too!
Twila says
Is that hottie at the bottom…you????!!! Wow.
and yes, 13 looks amazing. and adorable. I have a male 11, and he does not at all care about his hair.
Shannon says
One word: beautiful!
Ann says
What a cute cut! It looks great on her and good for her for wanting short hair! Those photos are stunning. And you say she is only 13, you’d better be careful ;o) I hope Dan’s a scary man to the boys that come to the door, so they know not to mess with your little girl!

Martha M. says

Has anyone ever told you that she looks like Phoebe Cates? GORGEOUS!
Jeanne Pellerin says
Gorgeous kid.
Leslie says
I looked at that first picture and said ‘wow’ out loud.
Lyn Meeker says
Absolutely AWESOME!!! .. And she does look even more like you – and actually .. I thought the pictures were of you at about the same age as she is… That is definitely “Her Look”.
Angela Williams says
It looks so chic! I love it!
HeidiG says
WOW! to both of you.
TracyBzz says
How sophisticated and mature she looks.
Dori says
WOW! How much more beautiful can she get? Great cut, color AND as someone else said, it suits her so well! SHE should have been the model for this haircut….
Think she could talk my 16 year old into cutting her locks? Momma thinks its time although she does not. : ( oh well.
susan d. says

Kelli says
Wow! She looks great! So much older and so much more like you!
Tennille says
That cut is perfect for her! She looks beautiful. I feel your pain with your mom…my 7&9 year old boys have long hair. I catch a lot of flack over it from people, especially other moms at school (because their boys want long hair, hehe).
cathy says
Yes, hottie is me. At 22. That’s the difference here. Aidan is THIRTEEN! Holy crap!
cathy says
Okay, we all know “beast” is the highest of compliments…. : )
jen says
Wow – I LOVE it … she’s beautiful!
Lisa-G says
Wow, such a FAB style and gorgeous color on a beautiful girly. Hate to tell you this, but it DOES make her look older. As a mom, I hate to hear that. 🙂

omg! fantastic. wonderful. but most of all beautiful. Shirley will definitely agree! 🙂
Sue O says
Great cut and highlights. You might want to get your shotgun handy now! 🙂

Even cut branches don’t fall far from the tree. There’s no denying she’s your daughter–but in the first photo she looks like a young Katie Holmes. 🙂
HollyD says
Wow, her hair looks awesome!!!
Jodee says
She does look older and very beautiful! Great photos too Cathy! Love that color too. Wish I had dark hair, that would be something to try.
JennieB says
She’s absolutely beautiful! The hair cut/color is very becoming. Is Dad beginning to worry about his little girl and all the boys that will be knocking on her door? If not, he should!
Sara Amuso says
TOTALLY Adorable cut/color! LOVE IT!!!!
Dawn says
Okay – you girls are gorgeous!
Aiden – haircut is amazing! Very nice. You were beautiful before, and this enhances your natural beauty nicely. Good job.
con-tain-it says
The color and cut are perfect for her…so Parisian…but still youthful. So glad you are a cool mom and let her play with color in her hair…most moms “freak out” over things like hair color…it’s such a near way to express themselves and who does it hurt…no one! Have a great week, fondly, Roberta
Kim H. says
Man she is gorgeous! Love the new cut and color. 🙂
Jill says
Hate to sound like a broken record, but don’t think I’ve commented in general on your good looking kids. She looks fab w/ the new do/color!

Most girls relish long hair but she looks amazing! You are blessed that she lets you take her photo – plus you have a wonderful “photographer’s eye”.
Zandra says
She’s gorgeous…beautiful. She looks so much like you!
kendra says
gorgeous! great cut and beautiful color.
Leslie says
Beautiful. Gorgeous. Adorable. Cutie-patootie!
Yeah, that about covers it. Keep the boys away from her for at least a couple more years. Try, anyway.
Nancy L says
The cut and color are so becoming on her. I love it.

kim in Cambridge, UK says
Oh Cathy, that is such a lovely look. Aidan has grown up with real grace – she’s blossoming!

😉

Kathryn says

Jenna says
Love the haircut & color – very flattering! … And am I the only one that has this insane song playing in my head now? Can’t touch this, indeed.
Regina says
Are you kidding me? Her haircut is the bomb. Looks fantastic. Great cut. Absolutely beautiful. Kudos to your daughter.
Regina
Heather R says
beautiful girl, looks lovely with that haircut.
my mother also has an aversion to her daughters and granddaughters getting their hair cut.
bobbie says
It is beautiful!!!
Dana N says
This is so sassy! I love it!
Lindsey says
ahh I love it! The color is fantastic too! I keep thinking about chopping all mine off, this maybe put me over the edge to finally do it!!
Irene says
WOW Aidan, when I saw the pictures I thought who’s that woman! You look good!
And Mom you are right with the MC Hammer: You can’t touch this … Boys, beware I presume Dad is just around the corner.
Grandma says
OMG You can’t get more beautiful than that. But she comes by it honestly. Love & kisses Grandma
Joanne says
gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous….the hair, one-three, the look! WOW….Dan better start locking the doors!

WOW! Lock the doors:) She looks much older and model beautiful.
Francisca says
My first thought was: Wow!
She really looks very beautiful! Beautiful face, eyes and hair!
Ginger says
Tell Aiden the new cut and color are great! Love it!
Jennifer Larson says
She looks great! And I don’t know why this popped into my head when I saw your photo, but did you listen to Depeche Mode in the 80s?
Kelly says
Love Aidan’s new look – and yep, was thinking the same as many others….. you guys are definitely going to have to get rocking chairs and shot guns for your front porch!! 😀
cathy says
Oh Jennifer, just a little! ; )
Laura Bruynell says
Love, love, love the cut and color!
JJ says
her hair is gorgeous.
Rachek Ensler says
We don’t know each other, but I do have to stop lurking long enough to say, what a beautiful young lady- and her daughter is pretty spectacular, too!
Gypsy says
It’s a strange phenomena that probably only happens to scrapbookers. We ‘watch’ other peoples children grow-up, we see their stories over a course of years. And you feel a certain sense of closeness towards them. But still it’s strange to look at your girl,Cathy, who is 10’s of thousands of kilometres away, who I will never really meet, or know, and feel proud of what an incredible grown-up young lady she is developing into! NICE haircut Aiden! Very cool!
nwscrapper says
Fabulous. Gorgeous. Love the color. She looks great!
michelle says
love the new locks!
angie says
WOW Cathy!! Aiden has grown up right before our eyes. She is a beautiful, drop dead gorgeous girlie! Dan better find a big stick to ward off her lined up suitors. Stunning!

sherryann says
wow, the haircut and color are fabulous and make her look like 16 going on 21.
reyanna says
She looks AMAZING! And sorry… but she gained like… at least three years with that haircut! LOL. I LOVE those streaks. She is so gorgeous… and i just SO admire her style. 🙂
o~girl says
Awesome!!! I think mom & daughter oughta have a photo shoot to recreate your 80’s photo…which is totally hot btw! You DO rock the short hair but so does A! She’s gorgeous. My 14 y.o. daughter loves her hair on the shorter side too.
