Yeah, there was too much on-the-nose-ness. I was guessing that the Eurotrash were secretly penniless Romany, like in the show I never watched.
I am totally assuming that they will all turn out to be imposters, much in the same way Don is.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And Kurt having the style instincts didn't bother me so much as a stereotype since he was clearly not only an artistic type, but has a very distinct style sensibility.
There's style and then there's hairdressing. I would have an easier time buying him styling her.

Art Crawl!!!
But - as David said - Astrid was a photographer not a hair person and she could cut hair. (Did more people cut their own hair in the past?)

Sure, it's not impossible.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I figure he put himself through art school cutting hair. Or something. (Okay, I handwaved it because the rest of the episode was so awesome and it did seem to fit in with the "Unlike Americans, Eurotrash hippies don't totally suck at happiness" theme they had going.)

Not Romany, I don't think, but I definitely think they are fakers. From the moment the "viscount" introduced himself to Don.
Kurt cutting Peggy's hair was over the top but I loved it!

yes, I didn't think that he would cut her hair, but I thought that he would change it, restyle it or something. Plus, the inevitable clothing makeover.

Bohemians did, just as wacky art students do today. That part really didn't strike me as a stretch. It's not like he gave her some cut that required massive technique. He just cut it to the length prevalent at the time (cf., Marilyn's hair on the recent cover of Vanity Fair).

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
My mother used to cut our hair. I didn't get my first salon haircut until I was six years old. She also cut her mother's hair when she still lived in Michigan. My grandmother quit getting her hair cut and grew it out after Mom moved, because she said only Mom did it right. And I gotta say, Mom was never close to being a Bohemian.
Heck, Hec, you cut hair!
I think it's a matter of what a person feels comfortable with and there are folks out there who aren't afraid to cut hair without ever having gone to cosmetology school.
