And seriously, girlfriend boned it, and hard... it looks like shit from every angle... and sadly, Nekisa knows it, too, as she says she got flustered and ran out of time (she didn't even get a single hair accessory into that crazy jacked-up mess of an elephant turd she shoved onto her client's head). Oh girl, I think someone *cough*hornylesbianadee*cough* is gonna come creepin' to kiss your tears away tonight!

Next we have Lusty Loopy Lesbiana Dee...

sg_rate_203_01_dee.jpg

When Campbell asks Dee what her inspiration for her style was, I was positive she was going to say "Panda Express" but instead she says it's a "futuristic Asian geisha... I guess." Riiiiiight. Well, at least she'll be able to eat dinner whenever the mood strikes her... or stab somebody.

And here's Straight Guy Pearl-Necklace-Loving Matthew...

sg_ba_203_01_matthew.jpg
sg_rate_203_01_matthew.jpg

Matthew's client looks like she slept through a Mardi Gras parade, and he gives some kind of convoluted explanation of the style, saying that he "teased, and like, created a hair pad right down the middle so I could eliminate about 20% of the hair..." (insert Scooby-Doo interrogative noise) However, Campbell seems to like it, and truthfully, it is certainly an interesting look.

Next in line is Emo I-Never-Ever-Ever-Win-ANYthing Gail...

sg_rate_203_01_gail.jpg

...who apparently is copycatting Dee and going for the "futuristic Asian geisha, except pissed off because she got attacked by flowers" look... (they cut to Lesbiana Dee giving Emo Gail a mix of dagger-eyes and sexy-time-invitation) and it looks okay, but I'm also unfortunately seeing visions of ping-pong balls flying across the main room of a remote rural Australian bar...

And here we have Dallas Fight-For-Your-Right-To-Be-Pearly Daniel...

sg_rate_203_01_daniel.jpg

Daniel did a lot of looping and twirling and it actually looks quite complex, but interesting... Campbell wishes that he had made the pearls more visible (I noticed you can't see them at all!)...

Which takes us to Über-Gay Eye-Rollin' Badass Paulo...

sg_ba_203_01_paolo.jpg
sg_rate_203_01_paolo.jpg

Paulo wrapped a giant pony-tail into a giant bun and stuck a sprig of blinged baby's breath in it to hold it in place. It's actually kind of elegant (except when you see Paulo's black nail-polished fingertips hovering around it).

Now we have Underdog Channelling-Brigitte-Neilsen Nicole up next...

sg_ba_203_01_nicole.jpg
sg_rate_203_01_nicole.jpg

Darling Nikki repeats for the 7th time that her client's hair was "paper-thin" and that she had to work with what she had. So she figured instead of trying to volumize this poor girl's thin hair (say, by a Dallas Hayir technique such as back-teasing) she would twist it up real tight and make sure that 75% of her client's pale scalp was exposed to the bright studio lights. Nice job, Nicole! Dallas Daniel says "Ah thaink that Nicole's was a little FRAHtening... ah was VAYree SCAYired bah it!" Then again.Daniel gets scayired by flat hairstahls... but I have to agree, Nicole's client looks like she tumbled right out of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

And now we come to Drag Queen Hot Tranny Mess Miss Meredith...

sg_rate_203_01_meredith.jpg

Meredith actually did some interesting weavy, ropy, braidy kind of stuff with the sixty-four inches of hair she had to work with. I was hoping she'd make it into a giant afro and shove a bunch of flowers and chopsticks into it, but this is nice, too...

Lastly, here is a strangely Bitchy But Mega-Nervous Charlie...

sg_ba_203_01_charlie.jpg
sg_rate_203_01_charlie.jpg

Bitchy Charlie tells Campbell that he stuck with his Disney Princess Audrey Hepburn thing (the accessory he used was, of course, a tiara) but on Campbell's advice he went back through and "destroyed" it. Charlie is definitely shaking in his go-go boots, because if he does a bad job here, it's going to be embarrassing to face all those people who come to his classes on how to do fabulously destructive up-dos....and Campbell loves it! He loves the wildness of it, the shape, the texture, everything! These heaped mounds of praise are not going over well with the other stylestants at all....

...facial expressions Meredith should never ever make again, Volume 249...

It's time to reveal the losers and winners. Campbell says that Exotic Nekisa's is a miss because there was no accessory in the hair and she lacked direction. My heart breaks a little for Nekisa, she just can't seem to do a decent job in these Short Cut Challenges at all. The other sucktastic hairdo belongs to Underdog Nicole. Campbell says that while he loves what she did in the front, the rest of it she played it safe and didn't push it far enough. Nicole decides to backsass by saying "Well, when you don't have any hair you can't push it that far..." to which Campbell immediately replies "You had a lot of hair!"

Sweetleaf:

Is it just me or where is the rest of the recap?

skies:

Hated most of the hair styles this week. And I lost count of the times I yelled for Matt to shut up. Loved your recap but what happened to the rest of it?

J-Mo:

Hey Gasmii! Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed... my recap was actually TOO LONG for the publishing platform and the last part got cut off! However, do not fret, because I have just completed the remaining portion and it should be showing up quite soon. Sorry about that!

love, J-Mo :)

teri00:

OK, I'm only on page three and I'm already in pain from laughing so hard... I started about the time I was reading about the Pazzaz mousse (did it!) and I'm only up to the ping pong balls comment and I'm actually in pain.

J-Mo, you rock. :D

teri00:

Typo sorry - I was on page 4, and now I'm up to the 'head wider than it is tall' comment. .... dayum, J-Mo, you are the genius!

J-Mo:

teri00: But I'm NOT "Shear Genius"... only Charlie, Matthew, Dee & Daniel are so far!

But thank you just the same, I'm glad you're likin' it (and I'm also glad you got the ping-pong balls reference, I was afraid that one might be too obscure).

love,
xoxox
J-Mo :)

rubinia:

"Here dey aaaa!"

Thanks for making me shoot Diet Dr. Pepper out of my nose at work! Your transcriptions of Rene are the best! You might just be my favorite recapper of all time, J-Mo!
