For the first 3.5 years of her life, the Peanut totally refused to even consider the possibility of getting a haircut.
I tried everything: I'd take her to my stylist with me so she could get used to sitting in the chair. I'd bring her to various kids' barbershops so she could see other children getting haircuts. Heck, I even tried to bribe her with books, stickers, and balloons.
I'd pretty much given up trying anymore but then last week, I mentioned in passing to the Peanut that Liz's daughter Thalia had gotten a haircut at a really fun place in the West Village that not only had videos but also gave away free bubbles!
To my complete and utter shock, the Peanut turned to me and said, "Videos? Free bubbles? Damn motherfucker, why didn't you just say that shit in the first place? Let's roll!"
Ok, those may not have been her exact words but after she said "yes," I couldn't believe my ears.
Anyway, the Peanut traded in her Sally Hershberger-meets-Chewbacca hairstyle for something a little more contemporary. Since then, everyone keeps telling her that she looks like Katie Holmes. I'm not quite sure about that. I know I'm biased but I think the Peanut looks adorable while I think Katie Holmes looks like Carol Channing's corpse.
What do you think?

Who popped the look best?

Oh hell yeah, Peanut rocks it! The sideswept bangs, the sleek hair that looks like an ad for expensive conditioner... and KH looks like Anna Wintour. Ugh.

Great photo! The dog looking up is perfect! And yeah, you do have nice floors! I feel the peanut's pain when it comes to haircuts.
I use to cry all the time going to barber. I had a really bad experience one time, with a guy who was really rough with me. I never forgot his face. Some years later, my regular barber had a chair opening and that same guy filled the spot. I always looked at him sideways, never took my eyes off of him. He still scared me. I went there until I was about 15 years old.

Katie Holmes is so girl in 20s pushing a midlife crisis Stepford wife look. Oh wait she married one.

Peanut definitely pops the look best. After all, she's human. And let's face it. The aliens have clearly taken over Katie Holmes' body. So sad!

Didn't you love that place? The second we walked in, I looked at the owner and said, "oh shit. I'm never going to be able to get her out of here."
She looks absolutely adorable. Keep her away from Tom Cruise; he keeps trading his in for younger models.

The fact that Katie Holmes now owns the pop-culture rights to the classic bob just goes to show how short our attention span has become.

hey there MD, I'm new to your blog and am officially hooked - it's definitely Peanut, although I must give an honorary mention to your dog for the fabulous expression he's rocking.
cheers to you and your fabulous little family! thank you for sharing your life with us.
is it weird to say that I am looking forward to reading your archives? oh well, at least I'm honest.

You're right! The fairy godmother DOES look like Angela Lansbury. That's brilliant.

As the mother of a 4 year old who is OBSESSED with all things Disney Princess (note - Disney Princesses on Ice last weekend) so I have been forced to reconcile myself with those perky bitches..
Here's what it comes down to -
Belle is ok. She's smart and sacrifices herself for her father.
Cinders is also sweet and kind and doesn't stoop to poison the tea of her crack whore stepsisters...
Mulan kicks ass
Ariel is the worst - runs away from home, disobeys her dad and sells her voice all for a guy she doesn't even know.
Puke-a-hontas - pretty nice little lesson in having a smoking figure and smacking down the arrogant white man.
