women's hair.
For those not aware of this particular controversy, a woman who is

the park one day, and at a friend's urging, got a simple trim on her
fairly short hair.  It was just what she needed that day to pull her out
of a small depression, and she raved over her treatment on the 'net.
As if were didn't already suspect the suits were lurking, word quickly
came down from on high that women in a barber shop in 1890 were not
appropriate and would thereafter be considered "bad show" and cause for
diciplinary action.  This too quickly hit the 'net with a major SPLAT!
Funny, but once again, women may now get trims so long as it doesn't
require any fancy work.  Vive le differance!  Vive le indecision!

Write your reply.

assistant: Quite interesting that I was speaking of shaves, and you reply
        about Women's hair.  The reasoning of the ban on both is quite
        different... Shaving due to a health issue of blood born pathogens
        (i.e. HIV, Hepititus, etc)  Cutting womens hair due to a theme
        issue.  Easy to change theme, quite hard to change health codes.
        About the lady and the trim.  Dean (him and Ed are the only two
        I let touch my hair), was talking about it.  Thought it was
        a hoot, and we were both perplexed at the stand management was
        taking on the issue, but Dean used to cut the hair of a female
        Cast Member with about 3 1/2 feet of straight hair.  He would
        just trim the 1/2 inch to cut the split ends off.  Didnt ever
        charge her a thing, if I remeber rightly.  It was quite interesting,
        Dean would have her stand in the middle of the shop, and he would
        crouch down and trim the edges off.

Write your reply.

assistant: I just finished watching BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: THE ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS.
 It was wonderful.
 Oh, You want the plot? OK.
 It's a year after The Prince was turned into a beast by a beggar woman
 who was really a beautiful enchantress and he is depressed over the
 holidays. So Belle decdes to cheer him up with some Christmas joy.
 Only one person stands in the way of that little detail. An evil pipe
 organ named Forte voiced by Tim Curry threatens to ruin the holidays
 for everyone.
 But through Belle's simple gift The Beast comes to see that he
 was wrong about the holidays altogether.
 I liked the included cast of characters especially Fife, the piccolo
 who was Forte's unwitting pawn in his desire to drive Belle and The
 Beast apart. He's voiced by Paul Reubens also known as the rather
 obnoxious Pee Wee Herman in The 80's.
 Otherwise this was quite enjoyable and I will definetely look foward to
 the release of Belle's Magical World Video Series in 1998. :)
