Nicole on ANTM

Hal wrote: Dave.. good point but I think it was even more basic than what you have mentioned. For what ever reason it is a undeniable fact, people like to see makeovers. Morning shows do them, talk shows do them, magazines have them, shows keep coming on air solely about makeovers. I think the ANTM folks know a makeover episode is big ratings, so they do one and could care less about what the results are. Personally, I would love to see one of these girls refuse to have her hair cut. That would really show she had teh right stuff to be a top model. Think Cindy Crawford would cut her hair if she didn't want too?

You know, Hal, I had a similar thought during the makeover episode. Just beforehand, Tyra told the girls to embrace their unique physical characteristics. I thought that Jenn could have used the lesson as an opportunity to stand firm by her hair at the salon. She may have heard Tyra's words, but apparently didn't get the message. I agree with you -- having demonstrated that she had a backbone would certainly have demonstrated a mental toughness that (to some degree, at least) would have helped her in the modeling business (heck, that would help anybody in any business).

I thought it was stupid as well that they hacked Jeniphers hair, 2 feet of it and butchered Norelles pretty hair, i wanted to see her get it cut but not like a five year old cut it. Then they add a foot of hair to Amanda, and the color they gave her is just wrong!!!! :< Tara is a hipocrit since she wears long hair extensions and is a modle. As i said before i have not watched the show ever and just seen pics on the net, after what they did to these girls i never will.

Wow. We agree. 100%. Go figure.

Though I will "confess" to having watched a bit of the show last week (?) where on a photoshoot for jeans... the first thing they did was to give all the models extra hair. duh. How about doing that before the salon visit next time, huh?

I certainly don't think the salon makeovers were about enhancing the beauty of the girls. If anything, it was more about (a) testing the girls to see if they were willing to be abused [check], and (b) demonstrating the crazy sh|t they can technically do -- wild colors, chop, add, etc [check]. Basically, to find out if they "qualify" to become models. Glamourous? Heill no.

So Arch 94....How does your wife wear her hair?

To keep on topic, I thought Nicole looked really beautiful with the color and short cut, but i thought it needed a bit more "style" - either more deconstuctive piecing to the ends, ie longer and shorter bits al la japanimation - or a more organized pixie.

But then when they showed the jeans ad of her, I could tell in her face she was missing her gorgeous hair.

ome on Vineman_ (unregestered) by def a troll is someone representing someone they are not.

No, A troll is someone, that by definition, attempts to stir up a negative reaction for their own amusement, which is what you said Arch did.

It's just that most "Trolls" we get around here are also pretending to be someone they're not, IN ORDER to stir up a reaction.

A troll can be a long posting member too, who just happens to get worse. I used to be a bit of a troll myself, until I grew out of it.

One thing I think any one that read Arch's post can tell you is he is exactly what he says he is... a buzz back, pixie lover!!! If you are implying he and I are the same...lol.. he only wish he were me...lol

Right you are Hal!

Vineman, you need to do a couple of things things, for someone who posts so much, register for pete's sake, and oh yeah, I need your address so I can send you a quarter, and you can go buy a clue!

Okay, I'm calling a timeout for all of you. Long hair fetishists into that corner and short hair fetishists into that one. Don't come out until you're ready to write about hair in a way everyone wants to read, not only in a way that meets your fetish.

Amen to that Hal...i'm tickled to death over it.

Btw Vineman, of course I like LOL all the better cuz they contribute to some substantial chop-offs of long hair. Anything that can get some long ponytails chopped off is OK in my book...

It's also nice that LOL does help sick kids with their self image and self esteem...and if it helps contribute to my short hair fetish it's even better.

But don't worry Vineman, if you have long hair, you're safe. Men getting their hair cut does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me!!! So any man will never hear me tell them to get a cut...as for women, buzzbacks and pixies rule!

My two cents.

Arch94 just annoys the hell out of me. He wants to give just about every woman on the planet a pixie, yet considers Locks of Love to be a "great charity" who supposedly *give* people who would otherwise be stuck with shaved/short hair long hair.

Hmm, don't suppose it's *ANYTHING* to do with the fact that people cut their hair off for it?

THis blatant lying and trying to look like a concerned citizen is bugging the hell out of me.

well if you had free health care like here

What? You're only supporting it because women cut off their hair as a result of it.

It doesn't make sense anyway, since you LIKE short hair/hair being cut off; why would you support a charity that gives it?
