Not one but TWO X Factor related posts in as many days. Well I’m sorry now, but I just couldn’t hold back. Is anyone else freaked the f**k out that the perm could be making a comeback? I know most people groan when *insert hairstyle of choice here* goes on a reconnaissance mission every fifteen years or so. But seriously… the poodle perm? The mullet was threatening to be the ‘in’ thing there for a while. Thankfully it was relegated to those gaylord football players amongst us. (That’s not directed at you Cristiano, swear on me ma.) Hopefully the 2010 perm will go the same route.
Now Rihanna changes her hair every five minutes. And this fancy she’s taken to those ringlets-most-foul won’t necessarily launch a thousand be-permed copycats. It does however mean that there’s a general undercurrent or a tendency towards that particular aspect of the 80s that we’d rather leave behind (like brown sofas and the Ilac Centre.)
People take note… the only reason why Rihanna doesn’t look inconceivably hideous is because she can move her pelvis like it’s independent of her body. This hairstyle must not catch on. It MUST NOT!
For those who didn’t see it on Saturday night…
