So, figured I'd brain dump some random thoughts on the most easily accessible of "celebrities" on a daily basis, the network and cable news women. What was the impetus of me emerging from the Flea Cave under stately Jerky Manor? Well, curiosity based on the first item below...
1) Ann Curry has been wearing her hair up, which isn't unusual for her. But she's done it everyday. For the past 10 days. To quote myself, "Say, that's odd." Bad haircut? Awkward grow-out phase? A heretofore uknown deep affinity for the mess bun? Inquiring - and semi-bored - minds want to know
2) For several months now, Robin Meade has looked as though she can't quite get her style to work. Just seems to be too long, too short, too bangy, not bangy enough, and/or too layered to do what she's trying to do. Seemed to happen right after a haircut a few months ago. My completely unsubstantiated theory is that she went to a new stylist who tried to duplicate - and slightly tweak (as all new stylists do) - her existing cut...and missed. Not so far off the mark that it looks bad, but enough that trying to style it the same way as she had in the past just...doesn't...quite...work.
3) Katie Couric seems to have finally found a mirror, realized her version of the disatrous Kate Gosslin 'do just wasn't working, and started growing the short cut out a bit. Just the bit of additional length she has now looks A LOT better. Will be interesting to see if she's found a comfort zone or will keep growing.
4) Odd phenomenon: The majority of FOXNews on-air females are blonde, while the majority of those at CNN are brunette. Coincidence? Who knows, though it give FOXNews an oddly Stepford Wifey feel. Additionally, the trend at both seems to be counter to the longstanding "newscaster" conservative 'do with the typical length being below or well below the shoulders. Also, no idea what that means, though it's a welcome change. Oh, and in case you think I forgot, I've determined that the majority of on-air females at MSNBC are women.
OK, brain dumped. Though there may end up being some additional flotsam and jetsam that got stuck in the drain, so I reserve the right reply to myself somewhere else in this thread.
As usual,
JF

I too have been noticing the "strange" hair happenings with Robin. I haven't been able to figure it out either, but it just doesn't look right. Wonder how long it will take her to "fix" the problem.
Did you see Ann Curry's report on the submarine? She had it down for most of that report and it was a bit longer than it was a month ago. Otherwise, it's been bun after bun after bun.
Since I firmly believe that Robin Meade's hair is filled with extensions, I think the solution is to get better ones.
Betty Nguyen's hair still looks feathered to me, but it's longer. Her hair on CBS is similar to her look on CNN, except she now wears it in front on both sides of her head instead of one side in front, the other side behind. She's the main reason I watch CBS.
Here's how Betty looked in her last weeks on CNN:
And here's how Betty used to wear her hair when it was straighter:
Who has more fun than people?

Megyn Kelly has grown her hair out noticeably of late, and I'm impressed. Obviously I prefer long hair on Ann Curry, but I'll never forget the big event in which she roped in 100+ others to chop their hair, and the network gave them short shrift. Also, she never responded to a mountain of e-mails concerning the ethics of the hair charity. Bob

Hey JF,
Good to see you. Thanks for your astute hair thoughts...as always. Thanks also to all for posting images.
#4 really resonated for me. Just last week I was noticing that on The Insider (which I catch randomly) all the talking heads were blonde. I was having a hard time figuring out who was who.
Even Ellen has gone blonder and blonder as the years have moved on and of course her wife is blonde.
Is there something about how blonde shows up on camera?
Anyway, thanks JF and thanks for the new thread.
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-)
So Ann wore her hair down on Monday and it did appear to the same style (i.e., a lightly layered bob) just a bit below her shoulders. Nothing different, nothing bad, nothing...well...just nothing significant at all.
And then it was back up on Tuesday and today.
Which, discounting Monday as an aberration, now makes it over 4 weeks of the messy bun.
Seriously, what gives?
JF
