We all know that we use user names and not our real names (usually). Has anyone ever wondered if there are celebrities that actually post here under user names so we'd never really know who they were? It's possible and sort of fun to think who would actually do it.

Interesting thought -though I am not one. Since people of all types post here (jobs, backgrounds...) I don't see why there couldn't be some celebrities in the mix. Wouldn't it be neat if a celebrity had a makeover and would visit the site to see the reaction of the public.

That would be cool.
I visit www.avsforum.com (a high definition tv message board). There are some pretty big named people posting on that board. One being Mark Cuban (owner of the NBA Dallas Maverics).

That would be interesting! I can imagine a celebrity signing up with a user name and creating a thread about him/herself wondering what people thought of their hair, but not admitting they were that person. And, then seeing what people really think.

If there were, they would probably be minor celebrities, since major celebs don't have a lot of free time to do things like browse message boards (or answer their own fanmail-- they usually have it handled by their agencies :-P ). So the little threads on minor celebs no-one's heard of, you might suspect as being started by the minor celebds themselves, but I doubt Alyssa Milano or Sharon Stone are here asking our opinions on their hair.

You're probably right, but that fact just might make them anonymous enough to do it. Nobody would ever expect! But, this is just a fun thread.

Sandra Bullock (sorry if you are here I spelled your last name wrong). Used to surf the net(She still might) . Going into chart rooms and such so why not here? Others also.

So, it's possible then either way. Well, you all see my avatar, so you know that I'm not a celebrity, but I'm still wondering about miss brenda!

Actually, whether they post here or not I can't say for sure, but I know for a fact that several celebrities do read the celebrity board to see what is said about them. The HairBoutique.com Marketplace has many celebrities from LA and New York that have accounts and buy products from us and I know that they do visit the site. Some celebs have their assistants or family call but in some cases the celebrities themselves have called on the HairBoutique.com order line.

In one "now famous HairBoutique.com legend" a well known rock diva's manager called and ordered a bunch of hair accessories for her to be "next dayed" out. Then a few days later the diva herself called to thank us. One of the HairBoutique.com people that answered the phone just about had a coronary.

I have also heard from the hairdressers of some of the celebrities that the celebrities do surf HairTalk and do read the boards. Whether they post or not, I can't say for sure but I do know that they do come here. Also, many editors and reporters stop by and I know for a fact that a story that was reported on Page Six was related to HairTalk's Celebrity board.

Best wishes,
Karen

This place must be more important and influential than I thought, then. *waves to any celebs that might be reading this*
But if any celebs are posting, they'll never confess their real identities; they'd be mobbed by fans with questions and comments, and they'd never get to eavesdrop on an honest discussion of their style choices again. So if there are any here, we'll never know. Most likely they only lurk, anyway, though.

Hi Kuroneko & Kathy & all,

I think there are a lot of factors at play here at HB.com w/regard to celebrities. Since there are often articles on the HB.com site about various celebs & what is happening with their hair, I have heard from the celeb's hairdressers that either the celeb or their agents will check out what is being said.

Also, since so many celeb hairdressers are mentioned here (Ken Paves, Robert Hallowell, Rita Hazan, Laurent D, Peter Lamas, John Sahag etc), the hairdressers also stop by to check themselves out.

And of course HB.com has been around on the Web since 97 so a lot of people know about the site.

Finally, over the years HB.com has made friends and connections with many editors so we do get a lot of press. Just in the past month HB.com has been mentioned in several different newspapers & magazines & usually within the context of our celebrity focus.

Also, when JerkyFlea was still updating his column in the past, it was popular and read my celebs. I know this for a fact because in one case a LA radio host called and asked me some questions about Jerky. Also, as Jerky knows, there was a Joan Jett/JerkyFlea happening a few years back. :-)

So who knows, one of these days some of you may even get email from a celeb that you have been commenting on. :-)

Best wishes,
Karen

Wow thanks for the info Karen. Something to keep in mind when we post. We might be a bit hard when we post about someone's hair. We can still say something about it. But think how you type it.

Either you're lying now or you were lying before when you said you had a pixie. Sandra Bullock has never had a pixie. So which is it?

I didn't know Sandra was a lesbian either.... if you look in the post about Campbell Brown Miss Brenda states that she looks like her significant other.

Yep...tina m and kathy...she's hiding under another name cuz she got kicked out of her awhile back...the annoying use of the smiley faces tipped me off months ago.

My two cents.
We all know what opinions are like...and I've got both!

Wasn't talkin about you...was talkin about about tina m. errr.....i mean miss brenda.

BTW, i think you're pretty attractive, and very cute...although i don't think you should go long...you're face seems more oval...i think you should go shorter....and that's not just the short hair fan in me speaking out....another regular poster here agrees with me....how about it "mr. x" care to back me up?
