CONdi's haircut costs $150? You've got to be kidding!

[displacedtexan]

How many times have Dems been vilified because of a $75 haircut (which, in DC is considered inexpensive, BTW)?

An article in Today's Baltimore Sun reveals the engineering student (Yes, I'm LMAO!) who designs, cuts, and styles Ms. Rice's ridiculous "flip" hairdo:

The man who gives Rice her flip
Hairdresser Bruce Johnson tends her locks in D.C. suburb

When millions tune into today's long-awaited testimony of Condoleezza Rice, one viewer will be paying extra close attention to her coiffure.

Baltimore-born hairdresser Bruce Johnson is the stylist who transformed the national security adviser's hair into a fashionable flip 2 1/2 years ago. As owner of Avatar, one of the premiere beauty salons in suburban Washington, he's used to seeing clients on television - and it's not always pleasant.

Johnson and the other six stylists at Avatar Salon and Wellness Spa in Silver Spring are careful to give VIPs the "everyday" treatment they crave while getting $150 haircuts.

Johnson followed an unconventional route into the world of beauty. The younger son of Doris Johnson, a single mother who worked as a domestic in Northwest Baltimore, the hairstylist grew up in the Rosemont section of Baltimore. After graduating from Polytechnic Institute in 1985, he entered the engineering department of the University of Maryland, College Park, intending to become a mechanical engineer.

Then he had a defining hair moment: A bad haircut at a local barbershop forced him to cut his own hair with a pair of $14 clippers.

more inanity...

1. All I can say is

She REALLY over-paid.

[fishnfla]

2. Todays testimony brought to you by.....

Jeri-curl, when you need to be a flat-out liar, it'll help you keep your story straight.

[displacedtexan]

3. Have you seen her this morning? She has chicken bangs!

So 1980's.

[Junkdrawer]

6. Don't tell me she's giving up the Hitler 'do...

But Condi, it was so YOU....

[chelsea0011]

4. She pays for that hair spray plastering on her head?

[Cadfael]

5. 150 bucks for Laura Petrie's haircut?

hmmm.....:eyes:

[displacedtexan]

8. How astute, Cadfael (considering your name)!

However, Laura Petrie's hair had bounce and body.

7. It's nice to know in this day and age

That political criticism of women is so advanced.

[JohnLocke]

10. I'm sure everyone here would criticize Bush's haircut too.

I don't think this has to do with gender.

[Muddleoftheroad]

12. It has everything to do with gender

Check out the comments.

And no, I've never seen a thread on Bush's hair. Or how much he paid for a silly haircut.

Who cares if it's $150 or $75. Maybe she just likes how she is treated at the salon. When you make six figures, $75 is not a big deal for something you don't do every day.

13. As I remember there was republican outrage when Clinton cut his hair

It is all about the hair.

[Muddleoftheroad]

16. Last time I checked, we aren't Republicans

[displacedtexan]

17. Yep. About as advanced as political criticism of Dem men.

:hi:

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. Her fashionable flip?

Is that an oxymoran or what?

She should have spent the money on more anger management sessions instead. Maybe then she would have learned how to say she's sorry to the 9-11 families.

[JohnLocke]

11. "oxymoran"-- LOL

[BiggJawn]

21. I thought Rush was the "Oxy-moron"?

"Fasionable"? In WHICH decade, the 60's?

She's getting ripped-off if she pays $150 for that.

[Orangepeel]

14. this criticism is ridiculous and offensive when they do it to Dems

and, IMHO, just as ridiculous and offensive in regard to Condi. Doesn't this "reporter" have any thing beter to talk about and doesn't the outlet have anything better to print?

[slinkerwink]

15. it's silly to attack a woman on her hair, clothes.....

just intellectually criticize her on her political misbehavior, instead of resorting to infantile tactics like that.

[Muddleoftheroad]

18. Exactly

And nobody at DU is sexist.

At least they didn't call her a b**** at the same time.

[fishnfla]

19. Did you read the article?

Its hilarious! The "defining hair moment" a "cigarette after every hair cut" Its wide open for parody.

And Condi is quoted as saying "thanks for the Great Hair" (yes she used caps) I think she's a liar.

[underpants]

20. Today on Inside Edition everything you need to know about Condi

http://www.insideedition.com /

It's not on the site yet but they will tell us where she shops for shoes, what she does on weekends (I guess that doesn't include securing the nation), and where she eats.

Seriously.

22. Silk purse

sow's ear. You play with the cards you're dealt.

[Mari333]

23. Dyed, Fried, and Slid to the Side

as my black roomate used to say.

[Chovexani]

24. LOL

I think it looks like a bad 1950's housewife haircut. If she pays 150 for that she's getting hosed. I've seen better 20 haircurs from Supercuts. Can't she grab some random guy in Dupont Circle to do something with it?? I know there's some guy out there just itching to make her fabulous. :silly:

Hell all these Bush people are dumpy fashion disasters. We need Queer Eye for the Liar or something.
