Anyone know if there's a good biography or autobiography of him out there?
He did a cool autobiography in the early seventies.
Hold on...
It's called
Sorry, I Kept You Waiting Madam.
Looks like it might be out of print, but it's well worth finding.
I just found this fascinating blog of old Sassoon stylists reminiscing about the 70s and 60s.
Fabulous sample:
Peggy had a Black MG Roadster soft top wire wheels when she was a teacher at the Academy .IIO MPH on the M4 ,Radio 1, White flying colours spiky hair .Chateau Margeaux in the trunk , dinner at Pommegranites and breakfast at Browns hotel Arblemarle st ,drinks at Finos Mayfair, Prestat truffles and stilton from Fortnams on Sunday."
Maybe he'll go north of Memphis this time around? I hope so!
Shear Genius: I totally know!
Everything was awful, Vidal was awesome and the biggest, coolest teddy bear ever! I think Daisy's ideas were strong, but once again, she ran into time management problems. She's all up about the fates and everything, when she dropped that container of dye, she should have just not colored. I couldn't believe she tried to do three color jobs when she only had to do one. Ben could have totally won if he'd left his first cut down. Doing an updo to prove you can when you can't, not the best strategy. I liked his concept, though. Anthony's cuts were all blah to me.
Oh, but I would like to point out that Anthony had won two challenges, too.
Ah! So You Think You Can Dance totally just won my love forever via "Choreography," from White Christmas!!!
Oh, now I'm all teary eyed, about the kid who gave up football because he loved dance more.
I think the broadcast is pre-taped, but voting is live (and there's a live results show tonight, same as with Idol), so the only way to skip ahead to the finale would be to eliminate more people every week so the finale comes faster. I doubt it'll be given another 2-hour timeslot.
On the Lot won't even be given two hours a week anymore. From the Futon Critic:
After another week of sagging ratings, FOX has dropped its Monday edition of "On the Lot."
The series will now condense its competition and results shows into one weekly one-hour program, airing Tuesdays at 8:00/7:00c starting June 5.

Huh. So will they be counting votes during the show, or just letting the judges pick, I wonder?
