Name That Celebrity!
I said last month that
I would be surprised if the Mystery Celebrities lasted
more than a day after the column went up. They
almost lasted six...uh...hours. Ah well, I knew it
was going to be easy, but it's never good when it would
be easier to list the names of the entrants who didn't
get them. For those of you that didn't get them,
they were...
Mystery Celebrity #1: JENNIFER LOPEZ
Mystery Celebrity #2: TERI HATCHER
The most popular wrong
guesses were Halle Berry for #1 and Kristian Alfonso
(Hope on "Days
of Our Lives") for
#2. If it makes you feel any better, I can see the
resemblence for both. Anyway, the first
person to guess them correctly was...
Lisa Seguin!
The next 9 correct
guessers in order were Anthea Pang, Ally Miller,
Wendy Beernaert, Donna Edwards, Hal A.,
RJ,
Michelle Casarez, Andy
S., and Jennifer Alexander
Oh, and
special thanks to Teresa Stonestreet. She
knows why. =)

On to this month's contest.
As usual, I give you either a picture of a celebrity from
early in their life or career with some completely
different look or I disguise a current picture. You
then have to tell me who the celebrity in question
is. Simple enough? Of course.
As I've often said, a celebrity is
often so strongly identified with a particular style,
color, length, etc., that they become unrecognizable when
their hair looks different or when you can't see it at
all. So, given that setup,
Who are the
celebrities pictured in the two photos below?
Mystery Celebrity #1:
Mystery Celebrity #2:
No hints
this time. Gotta at least simulate a challenge.

or
Email your guess to JerkyFlea@HairBoutique.com with the subject "JerkyFlea Contest". (NOTE:
PLEASE BE SURE TO USE THAT SUBJECT LINE SO THAT IT
DOESN'T GET LOST IN MY EMAIL! THANKS!)
As usual, THE FIRST
PERSON to send me the correct answer for BOTH
gets a hearty virtual handshake and pat on the back...and
their name featured in the next column. The next
nine just get their name in the column. Sure, it's
a subtle difference, but those yellow letters don't come
cheap. Good Luck!
Did Ya Know?
 Got a bit of a twofer this month in Did
Ya Know? on that icon of country music, DOLLY PARTON. Dolly, who seems to age at the same rate as
Dick Clark, is best know for two big things: Her talent as a
singer/songwriter and her blonde hair. I know what you were
thinking, but that's outside the scope of this column and most lingerie
catalogs.
 Anyway, what you
may not know, is that you're not seeing a wig every time you see Dolly. She actually has great hair herself
and does periodically go wig-free. You usually
can't tell because her natural hair is cut virtually
identically to the style in which the wigs are done, with
the only real detectable difference being in
volume. So why does Dolly wear the wigs?
Because, simply put, she enjoy it. She likes the
look, the versatility, and, now, the ease with which they
allow her to maintain her trademark towering tresses
(there's your alliteration fix for the month).
  
The second, and more entertaining,
tidbit relates to Dolly's TV appearances. Most talk
shows and the like these days rely on cordless radio
mikes to reduce or eliminate the need for the big
overhead boom mikes. You'll see these as a small
mike clipped on the front of the person's outfit with a
wire then  running to the
battery pack/transmitter, usually clipped clipped to the
back of the person's belt, stuffed in a pocket, or
otherwise hidden somewhere on their person. Dolly's
unique solution to this problem is to hide it under her
wig.
Hey, you'd never notice under all
that hair and given some of her dresses, where else could
she put it?
Ok, other than there.
As usual, JerkyFlea
