Well, the problem is she is not being called “hot” based on popular demand from the readers, she is being called “hot” because marketing people want to make people think she is “hot”.
Strangely enough, I am one of those rare birds who looks LESS feminine with long hair. There's a picture of me with longer hair when my girls were very young ( they don't remember a time when I didn't have short hair.) We were looking at old pictures one day and one of my daughters shrieked, "Who is THAT"? She thought it was positively scary and I agreed.
I finally found a stylist who gives a mad pixie cut with a straight razor. He's worth his weight in gold, and I am frequently complimented by both men and women on my appearance, especially since I stopped coloring my hair and now have a very nice silver crop that is darker along the bottom edge. I've been told that it looks like I spend a lot of money to achieve my look. Only my hairdresser (and now FR) knows for sure!
I was being facetious.
But you know, one can’t just decide to have gorgeous long hair the way one can just decide to put on nice clothing. There are genetics involved.
Each to his own. Please send the Blonde Barbie dolls my way.

About seven years ago she was brow beat into cutting it short by her mother and sister, quite honestly because they thought it was the "cool" thing to do. Well, I objected before she did it, and also to the end product; she had this beautiful hair cut under pressure from family. After many (somewhat difficult) discussions, she grew it out once again.
She has thanked me for my persistence many, many times.
Different strokes.
Ah, so you don’t have spiky radical feminist hair? I would have been surprised if you did..
But it doesn’t hurt to work a little at looking nice. Sometimes product helps. Balance is required.

Danny, if I have an extra to spare I’ll send one your way ; )
Those are fine with me, too - I don’t discriminate. I seem to find something sexy about many types of woman; I guess it depends on my mood that day. But, they all must at least be attractive and fit. BTW, confidence goes a long way to make up lack of other ‘assets.’
I have lousy hair. That's the facts. It is thin, ultra-fine (my hairdresser referred to it as "baby-fine") no body at all. In high school I tried to get it a little longer. I would sleep in brush curlers, use Dippity-do (remember blue concrete), get up in the morning, pull a brush thru it and it was completely straight.
Both of my daughters inherited their father's thick hair with a bit of a wave in it (my darker brown color), and both keep it fairly long. So, I really think it is a matter of what kind of hair you've been blessed with.
If I have to look up what half a dozen names in the first two paragraphs, the author isn’t worth it. If she wants to look like an asexual freak, that’s her choice.
Since then I’ve kept my hair somewhere between below my shoulders and below my hips. Who knows what I’ll do in old age, but I did know one woman in her sixties who wore it almost knee-length. It looked good on her.
It’s all “fun and games” until you reach the “grow it out past your ears” stage.
I’ve been growing mine out for three years from a severe pixie cut (Who says older women look good in short hair?! dang idgits.) And now it’s just slightly past shoulder length.
Never again.
Hmmm, he doesn’t wear a suit to Mass? At least, does he not wear jeans? I notice people come to Mass as slobs, but I figure you should make an effort to look nice. I wouldn’t wear jeans to Mass, unless I got stuck and had to go as is, or not go.
There are many times that I envy women with short hair.
Don’t you just hate that when your parents mess with hair? (Actually, I got the idea of putting a bag over my head from a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Sylvester, the cat, was getting beat up by a kangaroo, which Junior, his son, thought was a mouse. Junior was so ashamed, he put a bag over his head.
He has stopped wearing jeans to Mass, after I made several scenes ... not at him, but at our children who had gotten the idea they could wear jeans because he was.
I do have spiky radical feminist hair. If someone wants to judge me on that (as opposed to my long dresses or my ten children) he’s welcome to do so. As far as I can tell, few can be bothered to think much about me at all, and that’s great.
