I was struck today by how different I look now........Have a look!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Here's how I used to look:



And here's how I look now:



And it will be even longer when I'm done!

Pretty amazing, huh?


:bounce: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

1. Darlin' Peggy, I think you look fabulous with your hair longer!

It frames your face so nicely! :loveya:

I will "unveil" my longer hair in pics from my daughter's wedding (which is March 3rd).

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear SeattleGirl!

Ooh, thank you, sweetie!

That is too kind of you!

I cannot wait to see your new pics either!

:loveya:

[struggle4progress]

3. Yep. One day ya had a shell, and the next day it wuz gone

I guess bein a mod really took a toll on ya

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear struggle4progress!

Well, now, if my hair had gone from long to short.......then, yes, I would agree!

But it went the other direction, sweetie!

Being a mod was fun, and stressful all at once!

:hug:

[struggle4progress]

12. Well, I gotta be more perceptive: I thunk it were one a them "in the car -- outta the car"

before/after pics.

But yer right: yer hair is longer

Are ya sure that ain't from tugging at it while you wuz a mod?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. ROFLMAO!

Nope, no tugging!

Not my style!

You are too funny......thank you!

:rofl:

[LaraMN]

4. I love it!

It looks bouncy and fun!
:bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear Lara!

Oh, thanks!

It does move around quite a lot more than it used to!

I love love love how it feels on my head!

Haven't had it this long in 40 years! Yes, I am that old!

:pals:

[Broken_Hero]

7. The longer hair looks nice Peg, :)

Not shabby....:D :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear petersond!

Oh, sweetie, I'm so pleased you think so!

And I'm not done growing it out just yet, either........

It'll be most of the way down my neck, I think.....

Time will tell!

:hug:

[leftofthedial]

8. stunning!

:thumbsup:

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear leftofthedial!

I thank you! That is a word I'm particularly fond of......:hug:

[anti-everything]

9. Miss Peggy,

You look much, much younger in the second picture. Whatever you did, keep it that way.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear anti-everything!

I look younger in the second picture?

Wow, because of course, I'm not........

Well.......thank you!

Not sure what I'm doing differently, if anything......

Besides the hair, that is!

:hi:

[anti-everything]

20. Keep the hair, then.

It takes off 10 years.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. If you knew how old I am........

Then you would have some idea of how lovely what you said to me is.....

Thank you.........:hug:

[anti-everything]

What's important is

how old you feel. Fraulein Peggy, as far as I'm concerned, you're 29.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Blessings on you........

Even my children are older than that.........:hug:

Of course you're correct.....I don't feel old at all!

[anti-everything]

27. Then you're 29. Period. It's settled. And I'm 21.

[u4ic]

13. You look mah-vellous, dahlink!

That long hair suits you so well, Peggy! :thumbsup: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear u4ic!

Aw, sweetie!

You are waaay too kind!

But still, I thank you........:loveya:

[Zookeeper]

15. Your hair is such a beautiful color, Ms. CalPeggy!

It's nice to see more of it on your head.... :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear Zookeeper!

Thanks!

And I want you to know, this is my own color..........

After years of suffering with dishwater blonde hair.......

I finally have hair the color of silver!

I love it!

Thank you so much, sweetie........:loveya:

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

19. I see what you mean- you've somehow become more beautiful

than ever.

How is that possible?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six...........

Ah........you just took my breath away.......

I have never considered myself to be beautiful...........

Thank you!

I guess long hair is more becoming on me than short .......

Wow.....just wow........:blush:

[begin_within]

23. Your brother called and wants his camera back.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear bob_weaver!

Oh, damn, you are too clever!

Plus, you made me laugh!

Thank you ..........:hug:

[begin_within]

26. You're welcome. I love your new look.

[WCGreen]

28. Hippie!!!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Oh, yeah?

Hippie? :cry:

I outgrew that years ago........I think!

:rofl:

[Rosemary2205]

29. You need smaller rims.

The hair is FABULOUS and you look really great. But I just can't get past those 1980's big old rims.

Sorry, I have a "thing" about glasses. Forgive me.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear Rosemary2205!

Oh, no worries, sweetie! There's nothing to forgive, believe me...

One of my dearest friends has already informed me that the glasses must go......

And in another year or two, they will!

I realize that they cover up too much of my face.......

But I just got these, and they were expensive.......

So......one sweet day, they will be gone!

Glad you like my hair!

Thanks.........:hug:

[Robeson]

31. Love the longer hair, Peg, because it's....

...a very pretty color. You ought to show it off! :toast:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear Robeson!

Oh, thank you so much, sweetie!

I really value your opinion......since your hair is so gorgeous!

And the color is all mine......

:loveya: :hug:

[gbate]

34. You look good either way!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. My dear gbate!

Oh, I thank you!

Either way? Cool.........:hi:

[AlCzervik]

36. You always great Peggy, you look like a happy person.

i love the longer hair--it's very sassy.
:toast:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. My dear chimpsrsmarter!

Well, I do tend to be happy most of the time!

I guess I'm an optimist!

Glad you like the longer, sassy hair!

Thank you..........you're a sweetheart!

:hug:

[av8rdave]

38. The look is great, CaliforniaPeggy, BUT

I do have to take you to task for keeping such a clean car! You're setting a terrible example for the rest of us!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. My dear av8rdave!

Glad you like the look, sweetie!

And about the car: That was taken on the day I brought her home from the dealership!

She needs washing now........:cry:

Good to see you today!:hi:

[soleft]

40. it's not just longer, it's a nice cut.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My dear soleft!

Ah, I thank you!

That is such a perceptive thing for you to say.......

And my hairdresser and I think this is the way we'll go when I finally reach the desired length.....

:hi:

[graywarrior]

42. God damn radical hippy.

:hippie:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. ROFLMAO!

You and WCGreen both think alike, my dear graywarrior!

I'm an aging hippie, I'll have you know! :rofl:

Thanks for the input......:cry:

[graywarrior]

44. Aging my ass.

Think you can get away with that!?

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. Well, I don't know if your ass is aging!

You'll have to be the judge of that!

And of course I'm going to get away with that, sweetie!

:woohoo: :rofl:

[graywarrior]

You've got them all fooled cept for me, Peggy-O

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[caty]

46. Usually women look

younger with their hair cut short. But you look younger with yours longer. Looks great!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. My dear caty!

Well, thank you!

That is a lovely thing to say........truly!

I wonder why the longer hair makes me look younger?

I have no idea!

:bounce: :bounce:

[bigwillq]

48. I love your hair!

It looks awesome! :bounce: :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

49. My dear bigwillq!

I'm so glad you do, sweetie!

And it's only going to get better!

Thank you........ :bounce: :bounce:

[kedrys]

50. Soooooo...you were gorgeous...and now you're gorgeous...

...with longer hair.

I don't get it. ;)

You remind me of my favorite aunt - same bright eyes, same winning smile. I somehow don't miss her as much with you around (she lives in Montreal and I'm in Texass). :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

51. My dear kedrys!

Oh my.......such praise.....:blush:

Thank you!

I have a hard time thinking of myself as gorgeous.......

But thank you nonetheless!

:hug:

[Control-Z]

[SPKrazy]

54. Even Longer Than What?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

57. My dear Southpawkicker!

Longer than what? Longer than it is now, silly!

Glad you like it, sweetie......

It means a lot....... :hug:

I am going to keep my hair long, no worries!

Julie

[CaliforniaPeggy]

59. My dear JulieRB!

What a nice thing to say!

I appreciate it a lot......

Glad you had time to come by! :hug:

[sakabatou]

60. Hmmm

I prefer the short-hair version.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

63. My dear sakabatou!

Good for you, stating your preference!

Alas, my short hair is now a thing of the past!

Maybe you'll feel differently once mine gets to the length I want, and have it styled more professionally......

Or maybe not!

Anyway, I appreciate your honesty........:hug:

[Generic Brad]

61. You look younger with longer hair

It is very becoming on you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

64. My dear Generic Brad!

Oh, thank you!

I wonder just why it is that I look younger with longer hair?

You're not the first to say that........

:hug:
