Robin Givhan: Upgraded!
Posted by Bill Back in April, I labeled Washington Post fashion writer Robin Givhan an "enjoyably shallow twit." I'm revising that assessment - she's the most enjoyably shallow twit in the world. John Edwards makes Givhan’s heart pitter-patter, writing in one ardent passage that his “hair has regularly been referred to as a mop, but that suggests that it is messy or unkempt. Nothing could be further from the truth. He has a precise haircut with artfully clipped layers. His hair is a beautiful shade of chocolate brown with honey-colored highlights. It is not particularly long, but it is smooth and shiny. It is boyish hair not because of the style but because it looks so healthy and buoyant and practically cries out to be tousled the same way a well-groomed golden retriever demands to be nuzzled.” That right there is hysterical - I'm cryin' over here.

Posted by: Brett You sure you've got the right vowel in "twit"? Posted by: Captain Ned at August 1, 2005 06:53 PM That's all we need, a leader of the free world whose hair everyone wants to tousle. As I recall, that didn't work so well for JFK. Posted by: Yehudit at August 1, 2005 06:56 PM I like her better when she writes serious missives on the principled modern dressing standards of four-year-old Supreme Court Nominees' kids. But this? This sort of thing just makes her look silly! As anyone can plainly see, Edwards' hair isn't a "beautiful shade of chocolate brown!" It's clearly a subtle shade of mahogany brown! But I'll give her the point about tousling that hair. I mean, who wouldn't? Posted by: Kadnine at August 2, 2005 01:15 AM And they say there's a liberal media..... Posted by: jacktanner at August 2, 2005 09:05 AM "His hair is a beautiful shade of chocolate brown with honey-colored highlights" out of a bottle. let me drop 100's of class-action-suit-begotten-dollars on hair stylists and I'd have ol' Robin's drawers rollin' up&down like a venetian blind, too... Posted by: Glenn Bowen at August 2, 2005 07:29 PM Only in Washington DC would a fashion and Style writer gush about hair-sprayed, "artfully clipped layers" for Edward's haircut when that went out of style about the same time the mullet did. Actually, it's time to concede that even Arlen with the chemo-induced sleek bald look has now surpassed Edward's on the "hip" scale. However, if Edward's can sport a wife beater, i think that pushes him back above Arlen. But, the true #1 dapper extraordinaire in Washington is John Kerry decked out in his Lance Armstrong bicycle speedos. That Kerry's massive edifice of hair negates the the last 20 years of technological gains in bicycle aerodynamics is irrelevant. In fashion, it's style over substance.
