This weekend, shocked onlookers at the Cannes Film Festival gasped as the actress arrived on the red carpet for the premiere of Revenge of the Sith with a freshly shaven head. But, if anyone can get away with such an extreme hairstyle, it's Portman, who has had the dramatic haircut for a role in her next film, V for Vendetta.I disagree with the idea that a short buzz makes most women look like a neo-nazi or lesbian, but it is unfortunately true that many people make those kinds of judgements based only on a person's appearance.

And I completely disagree with the statement 'Portman joins an exclusive club: only a handful of women can pull off the sexy skinhead trick.
I believe that there are more women that actually look BETTER with a short/shaved cut then with the hair they have today. Eyes, smile and shape are the things that get noticed immediately.
I am a pretty typical German-built girl and will admit to being assumed to be a lesbian because of my shaved head. But it is only marginally more so then when I had my short hair prior to the buzz.
And I can't think of an instance at all where someone thought I might be a neo-nazi. In Canada at least that is a stereo-type that is LONG gone.
