The Hairy Eyeball: Make-under mistakes

September 21, 2011 By Thelma Leave a Comment

Breck Girl Monaghan as born-again backwoods ex-stripper

Just saw Machine Gun Preacher last night. Make-under alert! Michelle Monaghan does not have 1990’s biker-chick, ex-stripper, found God, living in rural Penn hair. Those streaks! That shine!

I worried. Was this constant finding fault with beautiful hair in actresses in gritty roles becoming my personal obsession? Did I expect every one to resemble Charlize Theron in Monster?

And then I saw that Allure writer Kate Sullivan had picked up my prob with Carey Mulligan’s hair in Drive and spun it into a beauty blog where she asks: Has Great Hair Ever Taken You out of a Movie? Definitely!
