TV Star Gets Haircut

         Oh, my. The headlines today! Kaley Cuouc who plays Penny on Big Bang Theory premiered her haircut Monday night. The fans hated it. And I had thought how cute she looked. It plays up her nice facial features which seemed hidden by comparison to the long hair look.

         If only people could be as outraged by social injustice, by homelessness, by disease in third world countries, or by the raging costs of health care in this country. If only bartenders and waiters cared as much about selling alcohol to underage students who go out intoxicated after dark and end up missing, never to be found again. If that same energy over a haircut could be put into creating jobs and teaching people to speak and read English, we'd all be better off.

         Hair grows back. Styles change. Everyone, including actors, have freedom to express themselves in these mild ways without the negative feedback. :Penny" has a slightly different role to play now, and the new "do" is supportive of that.
