Shearly Wonderful Bitch Slap Fest

You wish you were as good as me, you Australian pissante. My genius in using this new filamentous tool is leading the way to follicular glory in the hair cuttery business. Why, all through the ages hair dressers have led the way in revolutions. You think Marie Antoinette would have let anyone with hedge clippers near her neck? Yet look at us now! Fearless.

You effin idiot. Before now, you were beneath my notice. All my nasty thoughts were turned on Tyson. But you've gone cockamamie on us, you Cockeysville moron! Effin get outta my face!

Where do you get off making fun of Cockeysville, you bellowing hag. My fellow Baltimorons practically INVENTED the beehive. You used to work in Jersey for crissakes. Armpit of the nation!

Ooooooh, you, you...WANKER!

PTL! I have finally shut up her trap.

Not to put too fine a point on it, dearie, but you're bonkers! You think Cockeymanians are gonna line up to get their locks clipped with your hedge clippers? Think again. They'll leave you in droves and go to Hair Cutteries all over Towson, Hunt Valley, and Timonium. Just think about that.

Heh, heh, heh, heh. I just love a good old fashioned Bitch Slap Fest. The more bitches the merrier. Plus she's taken the heat off me.

Now be sure to impress Vanessa. She was a beauty queen. I was in pageants. We understand each other. Understand?

You think I'm gonna walk down the red carpet looking like a mocha version of Kirsten Dunst in that loser movie, you think again, girlie. You're auf!

As another diva from another era said, "Tomorrow is another day!" Hold on world, I'm comin'.

List of Trainers

Jackie,

My number one choice, but a snowball has a better chance of lasting an eternity in hell than my getting Jackie as a personal trainer. So here are my other choices, listed in order.





Brian

So helpful, and have you seen the size of this Southerner's hands? Just saying. Plus he's Doug's friend and he's passionate about his work. I simply love passion.






Gregg,

Love those eyes, would love to exercise my fingers up and down those biceps. Ooh-la-la.








Andre,

Yummy and seemingly normal. Close toss-up, dahlings.







Zen,

Friendly and cute as a kitten, but funnier than me. Na ah.







Rebecca,

She's fit, cute, and from my home state, but dahlings, she might mistake me for Jackie and stick her tongue down my throat while I was distracted. So, nope.





Jesse

You kidding? I believe in harmony and one-ness with all mankind, and absolute acceptance of all I do and say. I need to lower my blood pressure, not up it. He's kinda cute though, but ... naw.





Erika

You think I'm an idiot? Why would I want Angelina's double any where near me? Our combined fabulosity would strike all men blind and we'd get sued for reckless endangerment. B'sides, she believes in mental health.

Shear Genius: Chatting with Lacey


Even though she left us last Wednesday, Lacey put aside some time in her appointment book to answer some of our questions. And even though she didn't cut it on Shear Genius, we're pretty sure she has hair advice to offer.

What's the best way to make gray hair look better?

I find that grey hair can loose shine and vibrancy. The best way to fix this is to do a clarifying treatment to remove any
minerals that may build up on the hair.

What is the one hair care product that you can't live without?

I love leave in spray conditioner with uv protection! A must have living in South Beach.

Why did you decide to become a stylist?

I wanted to have a creative job that would always challenge me to try new things and never stop learning.

If you couldn't be a stylist, what would you be doing?

I would have a job that would allow me to help people and travel.

Who do you admire?

I admire my mom she is always my biggest fan and supports everything I do.

Any hair care secrets you`d like to share?

I notice a difference in my hair when I am taking vitamins and eating healthy.

What is in your fridge right now?

I love to cook so I have all the essentials to whip up something from nothing. Oh.... and tons of different coffee's and creamers, I love coffee.

What do you feel is the worst hair trend in the last 10 years?

I would have to say that striped hi lites were by far the worst, along with bad extensions.

Any pets?

No pets but, I have lots of plants.

What is your favorite...
...way to spend a day off?

My favorite thing is to sleep in late, wake up to breakfast being made, and lay by the pool at the Delano all day!

...Movie

Breakfast at Tiffany's

...CD

I'm addicted to i tunes so I have lots of random music.

...Book

Bergdorff Blondes

...TV Show

Grey's Anatomy

...Guilty Pleasure

Dark chocolate

Any final words?

Carpe Diem!

Thanks Lacey!

Shear Genius: Texas Chainsaw Massacre

posted by Eric3000

For the third episode's quickfire challenge the geniuses get to watch Sally create her famous Sally shag.

Geniuses: "Ooh! It's such an honor to get to watch Sally perform a haircut!"

Well, yes, I guess it's marginally more entertaining than watching someone "perform" an oil change.

Then the geniuses have to re-create the exact cut. Tyson wins!

John Edwards: "I would totally pay $650 for that haircut!"

Ann Coulter: "Fag."

Jaclyn Smith: "The winner will choose the order ..."

OH MY God! There was the most ridiculously audible gasp in the Eric household! Seriously, we acted like she was about to say that the winner would choose the order of when the other stylists would be killed in a ritual sacrifice! We totally thought she was going to say that the winner was going to have to rank the other cuts and pick who would be going home! But, of course, she just said that the winner would be picking the order of choosing models in the next challenge. We collapsed in hysterics!

Anyway, Lacey is sent home because she did not understand the point of the challenge and did a completely different haircut.

The geniuses go back to the apartment and Rene tells them to shut up, as usual, and then tells them they have the right to an attorney and one phone call.

Most of the designers are crying about getting to speak to their family members, most of whom know nothing of the circumstances of their disappearances and assume they are dead:

Tabatha: "Anthony, explain to me why they are crying. Are they in physical pain? I am very interested in learning about human emotions."

Anthony: "They miss their families."

Tabatha: "Why? Their families are probably just a bunch of losers like they are."

Anthony: "You got that right."

So Tyson "wins" the fabulous prize of getting to piss off the other geniuses and decide the order of picking models. The other two "winners" in the top three get to be singled out as the top competition so Tyson can try to screw them over. This seems pretty pointless. He starts out by asking the others to tell him why he should pick them to choose models first:

Tabatha: "Oh, piss off, you little bitch."

OK, so that didn't work so well. Instead, he just ranks them and puts them in reverse order according to talent. I guess this gives him a little bit of an advantage but ultimately won't make a difference and the whole exercise is pretty humiliating.

Rene: "Shut the fuck up, everyone! I have a surprise for you! You will not only be picking models but also picking from these absolutely ridiculous tools that you have to use to cut their hair!"

Here are the tools they chose to work with:

Tyson picked an ordinary pair of sissors.

Boogie picked a grapefruit spoon.

Ben picked a CD jewel case.

Evangelin picked a gas-powered chainsaw.

Danna picked a trained ferret.

Anthony picked a Motorola Razr phone.

Theodore picked a Beadazzler.

Daisy picked a rake.

And Tabatha picked a set of Jonathan Adler placemats from Linens n Things.

Considering what they had to work with, they all did extremely well. Other than those hideous Cynthia Rowely outfits, the clients looked pretty good. Tabatha's client looked like she had pretty bad split ends but those plastic Jonathan Adler placemats are not as sharp as you would think. Boogie did a serviceable job but it was just too safe and boring. Theodore spent the entire time putting cornrows in his own hair and his client looked the same as when she came in.

Theodore is gone! Sob!

Evangelin did an amazing job! She got extra credit for using a chainsaw and she was not penalized for accidentally decapitating her client. That really wasn't her fault.
