I did the same thing about 3 years back.  After, like you, having had pretty 
much the same hairstyle for years (except for the late 80's poodle perm 
brain lapse, and having played around with various hair colours) I wanted a 
radical change.  One word:  BLECK!!

:::::shudders at memory:::::  Been there, done that.  You are so right about 
the supermodel/actress look.  Short hair looks good on slender women with 
long, thin necks.  Short, stumpy necks with multiple chins require longer 
hair for cover-up.  It also took me ages to grow it back, but now it's just 
below shoulder length, and I'm a reasonably happy puppy.

The only reason why I bankrupt myself at the hairdresser's every few months 
for blonde streaks is because my premature grey hairs cover almost the 
entire front of my head.  Last year, at the age of 32, I kept telling myself 
that I was mature enough to face up to my white frontage and be proud of it. 
  Well (she says, sucking her thumb and stomping her foot) I *wasn't* mature 
enough, so there.  Nyah :p
