“I Mean…What?!?” – Abe Gurko

It was inevitable. Susan Boyle was not going to stay looking like Dick Cheyney’s frazzled, long-lost, twin sister forever. Not with people pulling her from all sides. Yesterday, her new “look” was revealed and I am not convinced that it’s all that fabulous. I am a huge fan from the get-go. But when I first blogged about it I said, “not too much tinkering just yet”. Sure, a brush to the hair and some cream rinse was a must, and a subtle touch of eyebrow tweezing. But that’s it. Now with managers and agents and money-grubbing mother fuckers hoisting themsevles at her, who wouldn’t take a free trip to a beauty parlor? Heck, even I would try extensions and try to be all Britney.  Alas, I sure wish they consulted me before they started butchifying Susan up. The thing that was so unattracively refreshing about her was her level of unkemptness and quirkiness. That, couped with her delightful attitude really worked well together. Hence, we all fell in love. Now, she looks like a mid-western dyke. I just hope she can still WOW the audience and continue on her path to glory. It would be a shame if all she got out of all of this worldwide attention was a Burberry scarf and a butchy doo.
