Holy shit, I never wanted a thread more than this one! Thanks for starting it.
My hair has gotten so long and I want to cut it, but I'm tired of the usual curly bob (seriously, the only result you ever get searching for short curly hairstyles is a bob, it's getting annoying). So I think I'm gonna spice it up a bit, though I've only found the style I want with straight hair:

So with curls it would look somewhat like this:

Buut I'm afraid I'll end up looking like a dork... I dunno...
I've also been thinking about bleaching some curls to a bright blonde, mainly in the lower back (in the area of an undercut) so hat they 'poke' through but everyone around me says it'll look horrible.
What do you guys think?
Oh, and a reference picture (though my hair is much longer now, about shoulder/boob length):

This horrible thing is the only picture with open hair I have... I swear I have eyes somewhere I was just squinting like crazy
