I totally agree with Sara. Her post immediately flashed me back to the May (or June?) 2009 issue of Vogue where they did a feature on Iris Strubegger. Hardly anyone had heard of her until she cut off all her hair and dyed it bright red. Now she's one of the hottest runway models, she's in almost every Vogue editorial, and she landed a huge campaign for Valentino last season.

Maybe the girls on ANTM should listen up and stop crying every Makeover episode when Jay and Tyra make them cut off their hair. (Sara, do you suppose they're reading this?) Even if they do look like awkward 12-year-old boys. Most of them have bodies to match anyway!
