Not
everyone is so down in the dumps. Lisa gloats
to Evil Jay, “I looooove my new haircut!”
He loves it too, and has tells her that they’ve
decided to also make her “a believable blonde.”
Which is more than I can say for Evil Jay.
Kim
is stewing under her newly rouged faux-hawk. She’s
has that look on her face that you had the first time
your mom made you wear a dress to school.
Kim
asks the ultra-girly Nicole, “You don’t think
it looks feminine?”
Nicole doesn’t think so. Kim explains to her, “I’m
trying to keep my own personal expression and that might
be hard with this color. No boy has this color.”
Nicole
drops a bomb on Kim, “Yeah, but you’re not
a boy, you’re a masculine looking-““
Kim
cuts her off. “It’s not my thing.”
Why
bother? It’s clear that Nicole doesn’t get
genderfuck. And while we’re at it, why do straight
girls always feel compelled to remind lesbians that we
are not boys? Do they really think that we don’t
know?
Cassandra
update: She sits with her newly spiked hair covered in
bleaching solution, and she is fixated on Nicole’s
new extensions. To make matters worse, Kayla practically
puts out Cassandra’s eye with all of her hair extension
twirling and swirling.
Evil
Jay continues to make his rounds, telling Bre that she
is now “ghetto fabulous”—which slightly
offends her. Nicole will be “wide-eyed supermodel”
and Lisa will “evoke early supermodel—supermodel
with a twist!” Maybe in Jay’s world this means
something, but I’m just hearing “blah, blah,
blah supermodel.”
Lisa
reveals her new blonde coif--Holy Schneikes! With that
short frosty hair and those blue eyes, she really does
look like Linda Evangelista.
Kim’s
fiancée Sarah also looks dynamite with her newly
bobbed locks. She now looks like she could be hanging
off of the mast of a yacht instead of a stripper pole.
Jay wants her to embody a Ralph Lauren type thing.
Kim’s
“new” style is what Evil Jay calls, “Femme
Boy,” and she is proud that she’s the only
girl who wasn’t asked to really change who she is.
Jayla has gone from rocker girl to “Yves St. Lauren
chic,” and Diane looks Cher-circa-1975-fabulous.
Coryn
is told that her look is “sophisticated.”
She is now reddish blonde and her eyebrows have been limited
to a single area code. Hmmm. There is something eerily
familiar about her look. I think I would call her new
style, “Tyra.”
Kyle’s
new brown hair qualifies her for, “Chanel with an
edge” and Nik is now “bohemian chic.”
After a grueling 13 hours, Ebony now has a million tiny
long braids. She looks gorgeous.
Cassandra
is still suffering. “Obviously, I’m
still going to be a feminine person because that’s
who I am.”
Okay,
now we’re getting down to it.
“What
bothered me about the makeover was that Jay said that
I can’t act feminine anymore.”
I don’t think Jay actually said that. I did hear
him say that she should try a “Mod” look.
Cassandra is also upset because Jay told her to act “edgy,”
which Cassandra seems to think is a euphemism for “dykey.”
She even says the word “edgy” with palpable
contempt, as if our courts should be legislating against
it.
The
girls make their way back to Chez Supermodel. Cassandra
continues to bitch and moan about her hair, even calling
her boyfriend to tell him all about it. His voice sounds
as disinterested and monosyllabic as you would expect
for her. She warns him, “You’re going to hate
it!”
Kim
is sick of hearing about it. “I’ve never heard
someone complain so much in my life! It’s a joke.”
Several of the girls crowd around Kim and laugh as she
does a bitchy, back-stabby imitation of Cassandra. This
is obviously all part of her “masculine” thing.
