Hi TV GUY,

When I was in the states about a month ago, I noticed that Jodi's hair was darker and I like that on her. Also, I think it was in the same style you are referring to and I liked that, too. Much better than tucked back.

As far as Katy Couric, I liked her with a bit of a shag/tail
she had back when I was last in the States 7 months ago( half short with a long-ish tail) instead of a totally short cut.

I agree with everyone else here on Katie's hair. It looked great with the shag/flip thing she had going. Now, it's back to a bad version of one of her old short styles. Not sure what she's trying to do.

Oh, and I also like that Jodi Applegate has gone back to her natural color and is letting hers grow out. Wonder how long that'll last and if she is doing it to soften her look a bit for her new hosting duties on "Later TODAY" (coming to a TV near you this fall).

Later,
JF

What color did Jodi used to be?

Kestra you are Absolutely right. It would really strengthen his good looks and rid him of that pretty boy look. I think it could be, as you all have said, a well groomed _would NBC allow anything else? - full, trim beard. Or how's this, a very common style today indeed, a pleasing goatee?
I agree that facial hair on men can be extremely alluring and I am kind of surprised we don't see more bearded anchors on news and talk shows.
And here's one more thought. Why is it okay for us to watch Katie try out her new - ill advised - hairstyles on national TV, while it would not be acceptable for us to watch Matt over the weeks while beard is coming in?

Unless he's superman, after a two week vacation the beard's still going to be coming in. So the vacation thing doesn't quite work, but it is a good start!
Your other comment about Montel's mail concerning his moustache is most telling. It supports my theory, mainly that we want our anchors and hosts to look as diverse as we all are, not like some clean-cut Ken and ditzy Barbie set. Any opinions out there?

Your right on with Ken and Barbie, the last two national fiqures I can recall having "personality type styles was, Susan Rook on CNN (Super Short) and Joie Chen on CNN with her lip length bob, Joie now has a ho hum layered bla look, and Susan Rook is off the air, go fiqure

Didn't she lose her hair to cancer.She said her hated wearing a wig that's why when she got hair back it was short.I haven't seen her a long time maybe she has longer hair.

Did anyone see her reporting today from the Kennedy compound? IT was the absolute worst style if you could acll it that - ever. Isn't somebody letting her know how God-awful it is becoming?

Perhaps its time some of us e-mailed her producers with this astonshing revelation, since they appear blind to it. Any ambitious souls out there?
