HAIR TODAY...
So the other day Noel and I were driving along Ventura Blvd. when we saw TV news crews lining the street. Well, we see them all the time, and besides, they were in front of what I knew to be the Edgar Rice Burroughs offices so I assumed there was some announcement going on inside. There is supposedly a John Carter movie in the works and there's always something happening with Tarzan. I was wrong. Butting the ERB offices happens to be Esther's Hair Salon. The place I've gone to for a zillion years to have my admittedly sparse hairline trimmed and styled as best any human can make it, and Esther is about the best I know. But they weren't there to ask Esther about fringing my follicles. They were there because just a short bit before what's her name the pop tart shaved off her own hair and Esther applied the finishing touches. The cut locks are being auctioned off on eBay. I bet they'll get more than mine ever has.I am now expecting hundreds of Britney wannabees to trek to Esther's for the same shave and a haircut two bits. Assuming I can get an appointment, I can't wait to go back in a few weeks and find out everything that went down. Of course, now that the shop is famous, they'll probably raise their prices. Damn you, Britney Spears, you did it again!

Don't shave your head!

I've privately wondered if the absurd level of public scruitiny Ms. Spears and her fellows go through daily won't eventually lead to a complete breakdown on their part. Didn't Maria Carrey also snap like a frozen twig a few years back as well?
I also wonder if this isn't some sad indictment of American culture, given the Bush Administration released its latest budget the same day as Ms. Spear's emulating Sinead O'Connor, with the latter dominating the headlines and airtime rather than the former's 'plan' to permanently scrap the Estate Tax (costing $442 Billion) while making deep cuts to several well-functioning Federal assistance programs to low-income families ('saving' just $2.6 Billion).
Exactly how misplaced are priorities when the erratic behavior of a pop singer receives more attention than the current President's deeply questionable spending plans that will negatively affect millions of Americans?
And, for the record, I second Marina's sentiment.
Apologies for the political rant. I'll confine future comments to safer subjects.
