Hello friends!
Well, it seems like we've made it through a week where nobody famous died or was rude (of course I'm holding my breath right now), but it is only Wednesday.
I guess I feel like I'm a day ahead because we had off from school on Monday for Yom Kippur.
I love four day school weeks!
Anyway, I FINALLY HAD MY CABLE HOOKED UP ON SATURDAY!
I have to send a big shout-out to my friend Imani for all of her wonderful help with that. I'm a few days behind with the new fall t.v. schedule because I'm so busy catching up with Project Runway, Top Chef, My Antonio, Real Chance At Love, and the show that I'm beyond in love with - Tool Academy!
PLEASE tell me you've seen that show.
Oh, and speaking of new, the new season of Dancing With The Stars has begun!
I will rant about it later, but please watch it next week. Mostly for Tom Delay and Kelly Osbourne. I temporarily lost my hearing on Monday night when they turned one of my all time favorite songs by The Police, Roxanne into a Tango. And yes, I also heard the White Stripes' Seven Nation Army turned into a Quick Step... ACK!
I'm not writing about it this week because my memories of Berlin were jarred by a "catch up"phone call from my friend Evan last night. I hadn't talked to him since I got back, and he didn't look at my photo albums on Facebook, so I filled him in. While talking to him about it, I remembered something that I haven't shared with you - BAD HAIRSTYLES IN GERMANY!
For some reason, they LOVE crazy colors. Young, old, no matter. Especially the 'two-tone" look;
Now, when I asked these young women what the deal was, they both said, "It's because of that 'dirty girl' - the singer!" Of course I had no idea who they were talking about. Then after they described her outfit that had chaps, a bra top, and she was in a boxing ring, I realized they were talking about Christina Aguilera!
Remember when she busted out of her Disney-fied "Genie In A Bottle" image by letting her ass hang out?
That was what, ten years ago?
But here is something even better/worse. The Dude with the Dreadlock Mullet!
I saw this guy on the train to Pottsdam. And guess what, he looked at my hair like I was crazy to leave the house looking the way I did.
I couldn't take my eyes off of this guy.
Horrible!
Well, I hope that you don't have nightmares after looking at that.
Mea Culpa!
Love,
Crystal

Terri Nunn was probably the first purveyor of the two-tone hairstyle. Although she did front the band Berlin...
Hmmm.
I agree, Terri was the first and best with the platinum blond with black-dipped ends.
I asked some women if they were trying to copy her and oddly enough, they didn't remember who she was, let alone the name of her band, lol.
I guess you don't need Jasmine Guy for it to be a different world. The dreadlocked guy...I don't even know where to start.
I was secretly hoping for a rant on the Lil Wayne Behind the Music. I was going to do one but I thought I'd leave it to a professional.
Hey Jay,
Thanks for your shout-out. Jasmine Guy ain't got nuthin' on that dude.
Since I just got got cable I haven't seen the 'Lil Wayne Behind The Music yet. I appreciate some of his music, but can't stand that guy because my students look up to him so much and he's a horrid little burnt match troll...ugh!
I will get on it as soon as I see it!
