Variations on a theme: The disaster bangs

Lately I have begun to wonder if there was an army of craft scissors-wielding four year-olds let loose in Metro Manila to happily slash away at anything they can get their hands on. The bangs I have been seeing lately certainly look as if they have been cut by elements from this lethal army.

Rica Peralejo somehow seems like a likely target, as her flat moon-face could have been so bright, giving an irresistible invitation to the army, which I can almost see turning to her and murmuring, "Oooh. Shiny," and then charging head-on with their scissors with multi-colored plastic handles.


Ditto Lorna Tolentino, although she looks more like a formerly bald person now growing out her hair while wearing a wig, except that her wig somehow got off-kilter and so her real short hair is showing.


The horrific thing is that it's not a wig, but very very real. And what's even more horrific is that there is, of course, no army. These women actually chose to look this way.

Friendly advice

For a beautician, Ricky Reyes should know when a face is good enough to display brazenly for public consumption. If he keeps insisting on gracing his own giant billboards along Edsa, he should get his own beautician and Photoshop artist. I suggest he contact Angelica Panganiban for hers. And I also suggest that Bong Revilla have a look at Ricky Reyes' hairstyle. This might make the Senator realize what he might turn into after too much working of that "gigolo" image.
