We Dare to Talk Hair!
Okay.. it’s shallow. Yes… it’s silly… but Condi Rice’s hair is taking over the corridors of power in Atlanta.
I first noticed the trend at the French Bistro Violette where sophisticated power lunchers get a coq au vin on the cheap. Several business groups came in and then I started to see it… African American women had adopted the Condi cut! There are of course several stages in dealing with this…
1) Stunned Amazement.. in which anyone thinks to themselves ..”oh no she didn’t!”
2) Laughter… For condi, the cut is fine. It’s hers… but some women do not need to be trying that….
3) Acceptance. Paging Monica Kauffman….
Now, in Atlanta, hair has long been a means to the power corridors. A friend of mine returned to our fair city and remarked “Oh My God! I totally forgot that Atlanta had been over run by power blondes!“
Watch the gulch at the capitol when the session is in season and you’ll see the power of the blonde.
Next session? A 40 day bout! Celebrity Hair Match! The Blonde versus the Rice!

This was hilarious. I will have to keep and eye out for the ‘Condi’ now. Haven’t been to the bistro, the haircut will have to get wider distro before it makes my radar, I guess.

With all the technology we have for the Dept. of Defense, you think we could get that woman a decent do! The ‘Condi’ cut is horrendous!
