Three comments about Bravo reality programming

[apocalypsos]

1. I'm going to take a stab in the dark from what they're doing in the Shear Genius preview and guess that they have to braid all of that long hair as fast as possible. (Well, they're obviously not cutting it and Meredith IS separating it with her feet.)

2. I caught the very first commercial for Top Design 2 a while ago. Look, can't they just have Kelly Werstler show up in a ridiculous outfit once a week and simper for five minutes and save us another fifty-five minutes of suffering? God knows that was the only good thing about season one.

3. OMG NEW PROJECT RUNWAY IN A WEEK AND A HALF. \o/

American Project Runway starts in a week and a half? Wow! I knew nothing of it - Australian Project Runway starts tonight, and I'm all caught up in that!

I rather hope there's wank at longhair about that ep.

It depends on what they do.

If there's a lot of talk on the episode about how long hair is *bad*, and they cut it all off, there will be.

If they just trim and braid it - that's all good.

(One of the reasons I haven't had my hair professionally cut in fifteen years is that I'm afraid of hairdressers.)

I doubt they're cutting it, considering the separating Meredith's doing in the preview. If it were cutting, the hairstylists wouldn't be looking so shocked, I don't think. I mean, last week they took a bunch of women from long to really short, so cutting hip-length hair wouldn't be much of a stretch. Managing to style hair that length, though -- that's a challenge.

I can see the bitchy comments about having hair that long coming a MILE away, though. At the very least, Charlie the designated bitch won't hold back, that's for damn sure.

I don't know - a lot of hair cuts for longish hair start with the top layer being pinned on top. However - yes,they did just go from about shoulder-length to short once. No point in going from truly long to short.

But, yeah. There will be bitching because hairdressers - at least those who don't specialize in long hair - only want hair shoulder length or shorter. Which makes sense, because short hair (or hair a specific length) has to be cut on a regular basis. Long hair barely needs to be touched at all unless the customer wants it colored.
