Why is Emma obsessed with her pixie haircut?
A few months ago, I got a haircut and I cut my hair really, really short, shorter than I've ever cut it before. And since then, one of my favorite topics of conversation has been my haircut. If it was up to me, every conversation would be about my haircut. I absolutely love talking about it. I love talking about how I've been styling it. I love talking about how I feel about it on a personal, deep, emotional, spiritual level. I love talking about how people are responding to it. I love talking about how scared I was and then how rewarding it was to do. I love talking about my goddamn haircut. But unfortunately, I don't get to talk about it that much because people have other interests. They don't want to talk about my haircut more than once. Sometimes they don't want to talk about my haircut at all. And that's hard for me. Today, I'm letting myself indulge. Today, I'm gonna spend probably the next hour talking about my haircut. And you know why that's appropriate? Because I just got my haircut again, and I got it cut shorter than I ever have in my entire life.
Like, the haircut I just got is a full-on pixie, okay? It was sort of pixie-adjacent prior, but it was more of like a little short shag haircut. I have a full pixie now. Like my hair is the same length as my dad's. It's short, short. And I don't know, to me, that's like an excuse to talk about the haircut again.

Now back to the episode. Now, you're probably wondering, like, Emma, why do you love talking about your haircut so much? Like, who cares? I think the reason why I love talking about it so much is because of how much of a plot twist it is, okay? When I was a kid, I absolutely hated, hated the look of short hair on women. It didn't have anything to do with like societal, you know, norms, like femininity norms.
I really genuinely in my heart of hearts do not believe that that had anything to do with it. Well, maybe that was part of it. You know what? Maybe that was part of it. I just genuinely didn't like the way it looked. I think because, you know, in the early 2010s, the pixie cut that was trendy was not cute. I still don't like it. Like, it was sort of like a comb over. It was like a side part and like a comb over. Like, not my style. OK, it never I always felt like it wasn't flattering. I just couldn't comprehend it. And it's funny because my own mother had a pixie cut. In fact, she's had a pixie cut my entire life and I still didn't like it, although that actually might have made me hate the haircut more because.
When we're like tweens, teens, we like rebelling against our parents. Any kind of authority, I was rebelling against it. And it's funny because now all of the things that my mom loved, you know, her pixie haircut, her favorite color was olive green and she loved, you know, olive green like cargo pants and, you know, like... buying an olive green purse. It's always been like her favorite color. Now it's one of my favorite colors. It's somehow involved in almost every outfit. Anyway, it's funny. I've come full circle and now I love all of the things that my mom loves. But anyway, I was rebelling against her probably as a teen tween and it probably didn't help with how I felt about the pixie haircut. But anyway, I absolutely fucking hated it. I thought it was hideous.
