Jon took his dish of seared scallops and translated them perfectly into hair, from the color, to the shape, to the "garnish." He is also the only stylist to actually cut his model's hair as well as color it. Bravo, Jon, for taking a fairly difficult concept and making it look like an absolute breeze.
Arzo - a woman with styling in her blood - unfortunately didn't impress the judges with her interpretation of tuna tataki. She had intended to make it hot and sexy, but the look didn't achieve the heights she sought. But...it didn't seem to me that hers was the worst style up there.
Right off the bat, Giacomo wimps out and leaves the competition, citing three kids he needs to take care of. Riiight. Maybe he just couldn't "cut it?"
theminx is not impressed with Camila Alves.
I’m happier than a label whore at a D&G clearance sale - Shear Genius is finally back!! I love watching the freaks, bad attitudes and tacky outfits - and baby all the DRAMA. So - here we go child! Lets talk some shit shall we?
Lets start with the judges:Things I LOVED:
- Camila Alves. The pretty lady did well enough I thought, she is charming and will do just fine. True she doesn’t have the polished speaking chops of a Jaclyn or Padma -but I say give the hottie a fair shot anyway (plus who doesn’t adore a sexy Spanish accent ?).
- Jonathan Antin was a pleasant surprise. He was the last douche on his masturbatory ego–fest of a show “Blow Out“ –but here he seemed like a credible and fair judge –who knew?
- Orlando Pita – I have not a bad word to say about this true hair genius. I just wonder-Why THIS gig PAPI? You are sooo above it ! My only guess is maybe he just wants to connect with the salon hairstylist – to further push his line of products for T3 –who knows? If its something along those lines honey, who can blame him.?
- Kim Vo –What can I say –after Armageddon there will be Cher, cockroaches and Miss Vo’s lips.
Things I loved to HATE:
- Janine’s spunkiness, Demi voice –and that siiick hairdo –GORGEOUS!
- Faatemah- A hilarious breath of fresh air – I cant wait to see more of her.
- The two ridiculous challenges! – Lets all pray they get even more ridiculous OK?
- Adee freaking out and screaming in a heavy English accent then kicking the Nexus displays around startling the shit out of the other contestants in the process --LMAO!!
- Brian’s hippy- dippy-and trippy routine completed with an artfully placed fart joke. GROSS!
I can’t wait! I want MORE! MORE! MORE! Shear Genius RULES! – Ill see all you bitches next week-xoxo-Charlie
- Matthew saying “google me” LOL
- Amy’s braided hair bra –that was painful and delightful at the same time!
- Brig’s rollerskate shtick –Oh my! She is a special type of attention whore that Brig!
- The bottom three hairdos (which harshly brought to light that hairy chests just aren’t pretty-and- that maybe just maybe- not ALL of these kids truly are “the best of the best”)
- Giacomo taking of his shirt OY VEY!
After finishing in the bottom three for the Short Cut Challenge, Janine was looking pretty good for elimination in this episode. But she pulled out all of the stops with her interesting braiding technique and ended up with the perfect water nymph. Congrats!
Australian surfer-dude Joey tried for a beachy look in this challenge, and it didn't quiet work. He had stiff competition in the bottom three, but it seems he got beat out by a hair.
I don't know about you, but I've been waiting for the return of Shear Genius for over a year now, and I'm excited to see it back. So far, I'm not sure what to think about new host Camilla Alves - she seems a little stiff and her accent is almost as bad as Rene Fris. Speaking of whom - he may have talked funny, but he was sure purty to look at! Orlando Pita, the new mentor, is even stiffer than Alves. Thank God for new judge Jonathan Antin - he's bound to spice things up. Or even cry.
Kathy, a jewelry designer, was named the winner of Launch My Line. Her line will be carried at RueLaLa.com, a most fabulous sample sale site. Congratulations to you, and to your expert, Emil.
