OMG, what about the terrible woman -- a nanny, I think? -- who refused the hair cut, so Carmindy gave her a TON of makeup as a punishment! That one was bananas.

Nice crosspost.

Also, Vortex, I'm retroactively embarassed by how avidly I followed your friend's story, via meara. (It is the same friend, right? I figure not that many people walk off the set!)

Bwah! Freakishly Long Hair! !!! If you have to make special arrangements when you are using the toilet, your hair is TOO LONG!

Wow! I can't believe I missed that one -- it sounds like a classic.

hah! I totally remember that too! And was thinking it wasn't Vortex' friend but someone else but that makes sense if it was also meara's.

yep! I forgot that we talked about it here!

I suspect that more people than we think leave.

That woman was freak-ay. The thing that really, deeply baffled me was that she nominated herself -- showed up at a shopping mall casting session and begged for help with her drab nanny wardrobe and drab overall look, and then was incredibly resistant to absolutely everything. She wasn't shanghaied into it; nobody nominated her and cornered her and made her feel she had to do it. She volunteered, and then she dug in her heels about, well, everything.

And, Lord, did her hair need cutting. IIRC, Nick even offered to just go to midback (it was down around or below her ass, with the last 9-12 inches all raggedy and split-endy and shapeless), which is still pretty damn long, and she refused.

Also, I didn't mean to get Emmett hooked. I didn't even think he was paying attention to the show, and then last night I kept offering the Tivo remote to him and he kept waving it away.

Oh god, I forgot that part!

I accidentally posted in Bitches about the chick who had blonde hair and dressed in khakis and white t shirts that almost didn't do it. She said fuck a lot (which they bleeped out).

They dyed her hair brown and when she came out to the reveal she looked weird, random clothes like she just picked what she thought they wanted to. At the end they took her back to blonde.

Oh! And there was the Southern woman with the addiction to hairspray, she was a tiny little thing with BIG SOUTHERN HAIR. When Nick cut it and styled it she said she wasn't sure what her husband would think. At the end he was raving about her hair and how he could run his fingers through it.

yeah, this bitchy guy with long grey streaked brown hair.

Wayne Scot Lukas. If it makes your friend feel any better, he's the guy who created Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction."
