One night two weeks ago, Bossy’s friend Martha cut Bossy’s daughter’s hair, and many of you have written to express interest in how this haircut turned out — and when Bossy says many of you have written she is mostly talking about Martha, who expressed her own curiosity and regret at having wielded scissors that many wines into the night.
It all began when Bossy’s daughter was complaining about her long knots with hair, and how difficult this was to manage twice a week when trying to maneuver the mess into a nazi ballet bun. Bossy’s daughter expressed her longing for a short bob, and before you could say more red wine? Bossy and her mother and Bossy’s friend Martha were setting up a makeshift salon in Bossy’s kitchen.
Ultimately Bossy’s daughter had to sacrifice the idea of a short bob since her hair must remain long enough to capture in a bun — so instead Bossy’s friend Martha opted for a shoulder-length cut with long layers.
And the good news is the result is darling! To prove it, Bossy asked her daughter to pose for a photo! And it was so convenient because Bossy and her daughter were on their way somewhere! Also Bossy was driving! And Bossy’s daughter was all, “Right this second?”
And then Bossy was all, “No, you can’t see the shape of the haircut. Look straight ahead.”
And then Bossy was all, “No, because now you can’t see the front. Turn this way. Right over here. Turn to the side. Bossy’s daughter? Bossy’s daughter?”

November 12, 2009 at 1:36 pmLOVE the new cut!! Bossy’s daughter, you look terrific! (Good job, Martha; come on out to San Francisco and work your magic on me!)

November 12, 2009 at 1:37 pmI love Bossy’s daughter’s face in that last pic. I think I used to make that face. Now I get that face made AT me.
Texas Susan says
November 12, 2009 at 1:39 pmI get that face A LOT when trying to photograph my two sons. Like, what’s wrong with taking 100 or so photos of the two cutest boys in Texas?
Bossy’s daughter’s hair looks as cute as she does! WTG, Martha!

November 12, 2009 at 2:27 pmI want to steal Bossy’s Daughter’s hair. It looks to be about thirty seven times thicker than my own hair.

November 12, 2009 at 2:28 pmBossy’s daughter has Bossy’s cheekbones.
Audubon Ron says
November 12, 2009 at 2:36 pmWhy is this wrong on so many levels?
1stly, studies have shown that taking pictures of a daughter’s hair while driving is hazardous to everyone’s health within a five block radius of the moving vehicle.
2ndly, Bossy’s daughter should never trust a well meaning lovable aunt with a pair of scissors period after the aunt whipped back a few wines. Okay, sipped, but we all know better.
3rdly, Audubon Ron makes his wife cut his hair an hour and one-half after she wakes up on a Saturday morning when she’s all fresh to avoid any errant cuts that could possibly ruin Ron’s life as a professional, much less after whipping back a few wines. Okay, sipped…
4thly, Bossy’s friend Martha is now laboring in the morning after guilt feelings for having cut while drinking. We should never encourage such events because the well meaning lovable aunt can have dreams and will wonder if she ruined the nieces’ life with a Martha Bob. The niece also might need to read up on bad haircut survival techniques.

November 12, 2009 at 2:59 pmThat Girl said it all. Bossy’s daughter is SO DAMN CUTE!
Martha in Kansas says
November 12, 2009 at 3:01 pmIt’s cute! It makes her look older, but not TOO much older. Just right.
dgm says
November 12, 2009 at 3:14 pmLove it! My 11 y.o. went to the bob last year and though I loved her long, dark, shiny hair, I have to admit the bob is the cutest!
You’re a beauty, Bossy’s Daughter!
Lisa says
November 12, 2009 at 3:25 pmThe new hairdo makes Bossy’s daughter’s hair look really thick and healthy! On my birthday I had three glasses of wine and asked my 15 year old daughter to cut my hair!
anne marie in philly says
November 12, 2009 at 3:29 pmgah, you have such wonderful kids!
Manic Mommy says
November 12, 2009 at 4:15 pmBossy’s daughter continues to have the most amazing eyes. If it were my mom taking a picture of my tweenage self, I would be ALL about the eyeroll. Bossy was lucky to only get the smirky-smile.
Connie Harbor says
November 12, 2009 at 5:16 pmThat magnificent hair (and no one even MENTIONED the layers of russet/audubon/brown colors), and those eyes…THOSE EYES!

Debby says
November 12, 2009 at 6:28 pmAdorable, great job Martha (and the red wine…)
bossy's friend martha's sis says
November 12, 2009 at 6:58 pmUs moms know that face… .and Auntie M… we all need cuts and a little dye, and some red wine!
Reeb says
November 12, 2009 at 7:06 pmPerilous indeed to be an offspring of Bossy: all that press coverage. Or internet coverage. Or over-documentation. Bossy’s Son is right. And long-suffering. And outa there, mostly unlike his little sis who’s in the car with mom.
Audobon Ron makes me laugh. I kinda want a Martha Bob.
And maybe I’ll name my next kid that. Either , covers all bases. As good as the ever-popular last-name-for-a-first-name approach.
Jenn @ Juggling LIfe says
November 12, 2009 at 7:11 pmI know that face.
She looks adorable.
Momish says
November 12, 2009 at 7:16 pmBossy’s daughter’s hair cut is totally fab because it perfectly frames her beautiful face (even when she is making *that* face, it is a beautiful face).
Meg at the Members Lounge says
November 12, 2009 at 7:39 pmGo Martha Scissorhands! I see the back is slightly elevated with an angle toward the adorable face. Love it!
margie says
November 12, 2009 at 7:39 pmhow did you get a picture of my daughter’s face?
L says
November 12, 2009 at 7:53 pmI just love the look on her face.
joeinvegas says
November 12, 2009 at 7:57 pmHmm, photoing while driving. Probably even more dangerous that texting while driving. Shame, Bossy
Cupcake Murphy says
November 12, 2009 at 10:54 pm“Like if she moved she’d be shot.” It is phrases like these that make me HOWL with appreciation and half-sadness because I swear to doodie you are my dead grandfather the funniest person who ever lived.

November 13, 2009 at 12:09 amI laughed so hard at this post. I found your blog yesterday and it is on my to read every day list! THANK YOU!

November 13, 2009 at 12:59 amIt looks so cute! I need a haircut so bad…. You should cut my hair and blog about it! lol
Michelle M. says
November 13, 2009 at 3:48 amYour daughter is gorgeous. And seems like such a great kid. Bossy would make a fortune cloning her.
Avitable says
November 13, 2009 at 8:42 amI’ve seen that impish smirk on someone else’s face. Someone whose name rhymes with Shmossy. Or Shmorgia.
reen says
November 13, 2009 at 3:05 pmBeauteous!! I love how it brings out the colors in her hair.
My oldest had a cut just like this (great job, BTW, Martha!)…until she chopped giant hunks out of it with her safety scissors and now it is more Joan Jett than Bossy’s Daughter.
Lin says
November 13, 2009 at 4:04 pmWow, so Martha drank red wine and gave a great haircut. I paid a ridiculous sum to a professional and got a horrible haircut….Lesson learned. BTW Bossy’s daughter is one of the most sincerely beautiful people in the world.
Dawn in Austin says
November 16, 2009 at 2:43 pmBossy’s daughter is a beautiful girl. I like the haircut. It accentuates her natural beauty.
bingolady says
November 18, 2009 at 2:19 pmLovely look with that hairstyle. Good thing she isn’t one of those girls who cry when their hair is getting cut. uhuh!
runnergirl says
