One hestiates to judge...




One hesitates to judge the appearance of others. Particularly when one's own style, such as myself, gravitates towards shorts and Hawaiian shirts. (I think I was the model for the Charlie Sheen character's wardrobe in 2 1/2 men).


And yet, at times one must render an opinion. In the picture at the left, you see Lisa Cabrera. She of Fox News Channel 5. She looks, in this picture, reasonably good.


This is false picture. You see Lisa is the motivator, and prime example of news-think gone awry. Lisa is now BLOND, with big long dark roots. Kind of like Heather Locklear during the "bad corporate executive" years in Melrose Place.

Now, it would be bad enough if Lisa had kept this terrible cross of dark roots and the "Racheal Cut" (circa 1994) to herself. But, like Bird flu, it has spread throughout the Channel 5 news rooms. Red hair, blond hair, all with dark roots and cut in that too cutsey face framing way (which requires ton's of hairspray to keep back, and still with about 10 minutes to go on the newscast, has fallen in front of the face, prompting the casual hand wipe or head flip).
This cut, oh so 8 years ago, is even more disastrous in the field. As the reports cover "fashion week" in the wind, the hair, roots and all, rush to the front of their face. And if you trash the girls of fashion week, you deserve to be judged yourself. Judge not, least you be judged, sayeth Tyra Banks.
There, I have said it. I feel better.
Gayer, but better none the less.
Speaking of gayer, when I was young I had to watch swimming and diving for the taboo thrill of the accidental speedo outline. Now track and field is the place to be. This is Romain Barras, a french decathlete. What has happened to the clandestine thrill?
