Testimonials

She's not getting a response other than that curled-in upper-lip, so she continues, "Do you speak to Tami like this?" Finally, Mel responds with "No." T-girl explains, "The reality is, you've only been hairdressing for four months, and I understand that, but I don't know if you know what you're doing." Pornlet Mel interviews "When Tabatha told me I had an attitude.... I did!", and she grins real big! LOLZ at Melanie, I have to love her spunk, just like she's prolly gonna have to learn to love it, too, albeit of a different kind. Anyhow, she continues "Who's not gonna get defensive? Who's not gonna get mad? Who's not gonna get pissed off and wanna just say... fuck you!"

She does have a slight point here, because Tabatha is expounding "From what your haircut's showing me, you have no idea what you're doing whatsoever... or do you? Prove me wrong!" Pornlet Melanie is just plain shutting down, "Well, obviously I can't! I just did a haircut and you said I don't know what I'm doing!" I gotta admit, I think she's probably embarrassed to have someone say that to her right in front of this paid extra, you know? Tabatha avers that Melanie is useless to her and "should be sweeping the floor." Ouch.

Okay, except y'know, if you're gonna be trying to be a professional in an artistic/beauty-related field like hairdressing, you really should just check your ego at the door when you're just out of beauty school and soak up any shred of knowledge that comes your way from more experienced stylists... Giant Bitch or not, if Tabatha Coffey is standing in front of you and offering you help, for God's sake, suck it up, roll over, bite the pillow, take a Hydrocodone and get those tips and tricks! You can always throw something at her later on if you're still mad (and Pornlet Mel looks like she's an expert at staying mad about stuff).

Heading downstairs Tabatha notices Tami blew off her directive to actually talk to some of the clients, maybe try to get them something to drink (besides boxed wine and Bud Light) and possibly convince some of them to come back when the cameras aren't around. Tami says she had to go down and answer the phones. Lady T says she's tired of all of Tami's excuses. Tami just stares at her patiently (and bovinely) and says nothing. "Nothing! Crickets!" says Tabatha. Tami continues to stare. Tabatha's redlining, I can see it from my couch, and before she winds up a guest of the LBPD, she smartly walks away, giving this parting shot...

...True dat!...

Can I just stop for a moment and complain that the upcoming Real Housewives Of Atlanta look to be the absolute worst of the bunch yet? As grating and annoying as they are, at least the OC bitches mostly have careers (excluding Jo De La Rosa) and the NYC bitches have their charity and fundraising/social climbing crap... these bitches just look like a bunch of tacky nouveau-riche gold-diggers (and I think it's hysterical that the Jessica-Simpson-wannabee's rich boyfriend did not want to be on the show at all). Sorry, I just think it's going to be a trainwreck... and I can't wait! (*making cutesy devil-horns*)

Okay, it's time to look at the results of the stylists' work. Tabatha actually says that Pornlet Mel got the right "feel for the end result", and the guy looks way less creepy...

...she must have also used some bronzer on him, he looks a tad less vampirical...

Moving on to Markoan Crawford, he didn't actually cut his client's hair to the desired length she wanted! The client herself says she's bothered by the fact that he didn't cut it off to how she wanted it... but she does like the coloring job (Markoan's forte, obviously).

Cry-ey Kelsey actually did a great job with her client's color, too, but Lady T notices the length on each side of the client's head is still a tad uneven (bring on the hysterics!) but she tells her overall it's "a nice improvement" and gently touches her on the arm. Kelsey looks like she's ready to blubber again. I look like I'm ready for some Cheetos and a beer.

Lastly, Tabatha thinks that Richie did a great job with his client, who brought in the cheesy-grinned Reese Witherspoon photo... I totally busted out laughing the first time I saw this comparison, it's not that he did a bad job, it's just a rather jarring dynamic compared to the original photograph... see what I mean here...

...well, I guess everybody wants to look like Reesey...*sigh*... including me...
