Yes, I saw that same program with Lynn featured. I was so proud of her for standing her ground and not letting them chop her hair! I was glad to see the hosts run into at least one person who wouldn’t let them push her around! Good for you, Lynn!

Dear Lynn: you go, girl! I was delighted to see you tell Nick “no way”–I love WNTW, and often Nick does improve people’s look, but not this time. Lynn’s hair is wonderful.

Gawd, don’t you just hate how makeover people always want to hack off all your hair? I guess it’s for the shock factor… makes for better ratings, a more extreme “transformation”… or stylists just want to show off their cutting skills or something… but hardly anyone ever looks prettier with shorter hair, they just look defeminized. Why can’t the stylists just give them a nice color and style? Notice how almost all fashion models have long hair, bra-strap length or longer… so why are stylists telling the makeover victims that shorter hair is more attractive or fashionable? Never trust a stylist…

While I enjoy the show, the how they handle long hair is just hypocritical! Both Stacy London and Carmindy are in their late 30’s and both have gorgeous long hair. Why does this same no long hair logic not apply to the fasion savvy hosts???? I would love to see Stacy have to sit in Nick’s chair and be pressured to cut all that long hair off!!!

I bet she would act as arrogantly as when the guests challenge her fashion style directly. Once I recall Stacy telling a guest how wrong her outfit was. But the guest correctly pointed out that Stacy was wearing something similar. Stacy seemed to get annoyed and confidently replied with something like “But I look fabulous!”

What bothers me is how many will watch the show and be convinced that long hair looks bad and short hair looks better. But it’s not a fair comparison!! Typically they’ll select a guest with very poorly styled long hair, Nick cuts it all off, and then style’s it nicely. Well of course the short hair ends up looking better! DUH!!

It makes me so sad sometimes. Some of the guests will have long hair that could easily be styled into something similar to Stacey or Camindy’s long feminine hair. But instead, Nick chops it all of and they nearly always end up looking de-feminized. Occasionally they are even de-feminized so much as to look like young boys! SO SAD….
