Thrive to spite them

I was expecting Anthony to do an over the top beehive, that was 60s right?

And I'm not sure exactly what the judges expected Tabitha to do with all that long hair and 80s punk. It looks like they weren't allowed to cut it at all. Danna should have gone with a Veronica Lake look.

FigJam in a voice over talked about his vision but at the judging he referenced old movies.

Yes, he totally could have done an ott b-52. Or, a really stylized short cut like Twiggy.

Also, didn't powdering your hair come in later than the Elizabethan era? I really thought that they liked that hair because it reminded them of the Marie Antoinette movie only simpler.

I preferred the Victorian hair.

I thought that most of them did a good job with the short cut. And I realize that they have already eliminated the deadwood.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I bet they didn't want Tabitha to add as much color.

Their criticisms of Tabitha made no sense: I think that they wanted her to pretty up the look -- but she did punk. Punk isn't about being pretty.

They also didn't say "style this for a photoshoot" they said 80s punk and that's what she gave them.

It didn't look like they were allowed to cut hair, I think it would have been easier for Ben to give the girl a bob hair cut instead of trying to do the pin curls and make long hair look short.

I was boggled by the criticism of Tabitha. She nailed '80s punk perfectly. She lived it! She effing knows what she's doing there. Hell, I lived through the period, and my memory is just fine.

Michael Carl in particular was TALKING OUT OF HIS ASS. He specifically trashed Tab's mohawk as being bad, when she nailed the look perfectly, but more importantly, he spoke of Ben's '20's style hairdo perfectly nailing the period which it very specifically did NOT do.

S works in costume, not hair, but she still knows her periods very well, and while feathers were a perfect hair accessory for '20s hair, they liked the assymetric look, and Ben's 'do stuck feathers on boths sides. Also, the ribbon across the head was not done right either.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That's it exactly, Sean. If he'd done just one side, I could have bought it. I still liked the look, and thought it was well done given the constraints.

Yeah, it was a fine hairdo. It just was less reflective of his period than Tabitha's was of hers. And yet Michael Carl praised Ben and trashed Tabitha, and in both cases made noises about period accuracy.

I basically threw up my hands and said out loud that Michael Carl was talking out of his ass in re: period accuracy.

Oh, they said that Tabitha's was 'boring' - but it was accurate and I think she did an excellent job.

I still liked the Victorian hair the best -- she looked like she could have come from somebody's portrait miniature.

Punishingly Intricate

Their criticisms of Tabitha made no sense: I think that they wanted her to pretty up the look -- but she did punk. Punk isn't about being pretty.

But it's also very much not about being boring or poseur-y which her fauxhawk totally was! HATE HER!!! She's so humorless.

Anthony totally should have done a beehive! What fun!! If you image google 60s Hair one of the things that comes up on the first page is something from Hairspray. What an inspiration that would have been!
