I must confess, I've not watched General Hospital in quite some time (nor have I posted to this blog. Sorry!) But I recently received a text message alerting me to the fact that Kirsten Storms murdered a lesbian and ran off with her haircut.

I couldn't find a really clear picture, and this is probably not a coincidence. Also, just a note, if I were more tech-savvy, I'd have added little cartoon speaking balloons to this picture. Matt's would say, "Uh, holy crap, what did you do to your hair?" And Maxie's would say, "Step off or I'll cut you, Shawn Douglas. I mean, Matt."
That's a little joke for anyone who remembers these two as Shawn and Belle on Days of Our Lives. Belle would have never cut her hair like this. Even Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century, had better style.

Kirsten Storms is known (at least, in the soap world, and among soap fans) for changing her hairstyle. She's sported short cuts before, most of which were cute and sassy, and also long, bouncy hair extensions. Honestly, I find Kirsten Storms a unique combination of cute and sexy (I also find myself this way. Helloooooo, Self!), but I think she finally did something I just cannot condone.
Even Kate Gosselin has ditched the cut we all came to know and loathe.
As Camilla Alves wisely, but not so cleverly, said on every episode she hosted of Shear Genius, "Remember: hair is important."
While this is not nearly creative enough to warrant catchphrase status, I cannot argue the point. When my hair looks like crap, I feel like crap. And if I'm bloated (ha, IF), but my hair looks great, well, I find solace in the knowledge that I can be photographed from the shoulders up.
Below, for your viewing pleasure, is a gallery of Kirsten Storms' various hairdos so you can see that this latest really is out of her (and dare I say, Maxie's) character. How old is Maxie supposed to be now, anyway? This can't even be chalked up to Maxie just being a wild, angst-ridden teen.
Oh, Maxie. If you hadn't stolen B.J.'s heart, which no-doubt now beats anxiously inside your chest on account of your hideous bulldykey hairstyle, you surely would have broken it.
Phases of Maxie....long and layered, short and kinky, and a fun updo. She's pictured here with her friend from One Life to Live, who has also sported some terrible haircuts.



Lastly, Maxie with her shortest hair before the catastrophe of 2010. I liked it so much, I copied it. And then I learned my lesson, and I will never cut my hair again.
