Edward Scissorhands Cuts Hollywoods Hair...

Kind of...


So last week Johnny Depp turned up for Sunday lunch at a pub in Westmeath and Pamela Anderson, Jennifer Lawrence and Jennifer Anniston all gave their famous locks the crop... So is there some connection between Edward Scissorhands gracing the shores of the Emerald Isle and the starlets new hair styles? Was his presence in a country whose heritage is saturated with mythology and magic messing with the stratosphere in epic hairline raising proportions and demonically compelling leading ladies the opposite side of the globe to get scissor happy with their locks??

That may be a far reaching analogy of fairytale proportions or maybe just a slightly sinister coincidence.... but too much of a coincidence perhaps to just let slide. Has the legendary and visionary Tim Burton created a cult following so strong that the reaches of reality have been warped creating a bridge between life as we know it and a parallel universe of all that is Burtonesque?? 

Edward Scissorhands himself cuts into a roast dinner in the midlands of Ireland, home of leprechauns, magic and folklore and a gate opens at hairdressers in California where stylists cut into the iconic tresses of Jen, Jen and Pam. Surely Buffy’s Giles could source a  mythological book that could explain such strange happenings but alas he was driven to retirement when the Angel spin off, spun off several spooky moons ago and it is left to mere mortals like us to explain, ignore or accept it as a mundane and un-extraordinary week in the lives of Hollywoods finest.  

For me the scenario was much too reminiscent of the dog grooming, hair cutting scene in the iconic movie to not try and find a substratal link between all of the events. But seeing as my theory is hinging on the paranormal and extra-terrestrial I may just have to leave it lie for now, at least until a corpse bride arises or a zombie dog apocalypse spawns after Frankenweenie is shown simultaneously across the globe. 

For now lets concentrate on the gracious and accommodating Johnny Depp who gladly posed for photos with fans who were also out for their Sunday lunch. He was meeting with Cillian Murphy, author JP Donleavy and director Bob Mitchel so fingers crossed we’ll be seeing more of him on our shores as talks of turning JP Donleavy’s novel The Ginger Man into a movie seem to be coming to fruition... Maybe its time I got back into wardrobe...

And the transformation of Barbed Wire Pamela Anderson from an aging blonde bombshell who has shed not only her hair but her dated trashy sexual image and has been reborn and recut as an elegant and much more striking lady. Men around the world may be disappointed but Gentlemen and women are astounded. The Ellen Degeneres Show got it right when Ellen introduced Pamela last week to the booming strains of Lady Gaga’s Applause... We applaud you Pamela Anderson!

Both of our favorite Jennifers have opted for the crop recently too. Jennifer Lawrence has been going through quite the hair transformation over the last year or so and to date this is my favorite look for her. Her new pixie crop really shows off her face and she seems to be quite happy with it too. 

While Jennifer Aniston has gone back to her bob. This time she opted for a graduated style which I’m hoping will be much like her last bob just shorter. As far as I’m concerned when it comes to her hair this lady can do no wrong! 

So be it mere coincidence or Johnny Depp’s magnetic influence the results of the unexplained sinister scissorhands epidemic are all for the better.  Would you agree? In conclusion only good things happen when Mr Depp comes to Ireland. So, Johnny if your out there, come back soon!!
