That ugly new hairstyle

[dougo]

There's a new women's hairstyle going around that is really annoying me. I've seen it on four celebrities recently: Lisa Kudrow (Friends), Elisha Cuthbert (24), Allison Janney (West Wing), and Heidi Klum (Victoria's Secret). It's hard to describe if you haven't noticed it, but it's a very straight neck-length hairdo that covers the ears. Because it's so recent, I have had a hard time finding pictures; here's Lisa Kudrow and Elisha Cuthbert:

Allison Janney has had it on the last one or two episodes of "The West Wing", but Heidi Klum must have just cut her hair in the last couple days, in between the Victoria's Secret fashion show last weekend and Tuesday's episode of "Late Night With Conan O'Brien". Anyway, bleah, I think it's incredibly ugly, looking like a really cheap wig. Where did this style come from? Does it have a name? Will it please go away soon?

Update: IMDb is being nazi about the Lisa Kudrow picture, apparently. Try this link.

It looks kind of like a modified shag cut to me. Shags were popular in the 70's - must have been, because my stepmom told the hairstylist to do my hair that way. It looked like I had a mop on my head, or perhaps Mrs. Brady. The shag became popular again in the mid-90s, I think because of Friends (but updated a bit). The picture you have up isn't as poofy as what I remember having, and the layers are longer. So now it looks like a threadbare mop on her head.

Not to mention how absurd it is seeing Kim Bauer in business attire and entrusted with matters of national security! But that's a different rant.

Oh GREAT, now I can't get that haircut because y'all will make fun of me. Guess I'm back to the haircut they gave the formerly-long-haired body builder guy on Queer Eye.
