Shear Genius



I agree with the judges that nobody deserved to win the Angels challenge, but I wish they'd booted Nekisa off because I'm sick and tired of her Teflon approach to criticism and logic: IT ALL SLIDES OFF. Ya know, speaking as someone who knows vibrant hair color? THAT WAS NOT VIBRANT.

I actually loved Dee's shortcut challenge hair color - the "bird of paradise" - and I think I'm going to tell my stylist to do something like that at the end of August when I go in to get my hair done before AnimeFest. (I looked it up on Bravo.com and OMG the graphic artist who reduced that photo for the web FUCKED UP. You can't see the BRIGHT YELLOW of the bangs, and the vibrant orangey-red was killed.)

And speaking of my stylist, he knows Matt - the one who went home on the red carpet challenge - and he's worked with Charlie at hair shows before. XD

I do have to say that when the Dallas stylist said about his shortcut style "SOmeone in Dallas is going to have this!" and the android judge* said "I don't think Dallas is ready for this," my reaction was to shout "OH FUCK YOU" at the TV because I HAVE PINK AND WHITE AND BLACK HAIR AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME. (The purple faded out and the magenta's lightened to pink.) OK, I live in Fort Worth, not Dallas, and I'm not one of the over-blonded, fake-tanned, diamond-wearing Dallas elite, but still OH FUCK YOU.



* OMG that's some plastic surgery gone wrong.

That judge is just creepy looking, seriously.

Also, Kate Jackson is way too fabulous for any of those cuts. Seriously.

He's always smiling BECAUSE HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE.

*laughs* I always find it a bit insulting when TV personalities seem to think the only cities "in the know" are New York and LA. As if the other metropolises didn't exist or are still riding horses or something.

After hearing about this hairstyle, I really want to do a multi-colored look, though I don't think my skin tone can support it. :(

The most annoying thing is that he was right - for a certain segment of Dallas/Fort Worth society. But there's a thriving arts scene here, with theatre and music and whatnot and if you go out and start looking around, you find a hell of a lot of people that don't fit the stereotypical "Dallas" look.

I mean, I am a Texas girl at heart so I completely understand big hair.* But that's not all we are, I swear!

Don't tell my mom!

I'm now picturing her hair in some elaborate late-18th-century affair, with a tableau featuring all the little children and animals worshiping before a portrait of Baba.

An image that will never leave my mind!

The portrait is surrounded by a tasteful gold frame with neon detailing.

And oh yeah - your skin tone can support it, and I say that not knowing what your skin tone is. :D You just have to use the color that suits your skin tone around your face and put the others on top and in the back. XD It's the same principle as wearing a shirt that isn't your color but topping it with a scarf that *is*, so the good color's near your face.

Ah! Excellent!

Shoot! Just remembered that according to my employer's policy, I have to have hair that is one color and of a natural color that suits my skin. D'OH! Well, perhaps when I have a different job...

I'm glad I work on a college campus. XD If I had a one-color policy, I'd start pushing the boundaries - what about highlights and lowlights? That makes three colors! (Just three sort-of similar ones. XD)
