Miss Ginger's addiction to occupational reality television has spun out of control as one of TV's first "reality spinoffs" premiers on Bravo. Tabitha Coffey 
returns to Bravo after it's first season with Shear Genius to take the helm of her own show, Tabitha's Salon Takeover. As the name suggests, Tabitha goes in to struggling salons and takes over to help them become more profitable, more fun , and more FABULOUS! And she always does it in solid black clothing, with lots of spiky boots and footwear that makes Miss G squeal with delight!
In the first episode, Tabitha steps in to help Kwanna with her money pit salon "Ten" in Long Beach, California, home to one of Miss G most handsome crime fighting friends, "Tim with the FABULOUS calves!" Part of the problem, short of the fact that Kwanna's kind of a dumb hick with no real management experience, is that she and her hunky husband Chris
are so in hock with this salon that Chris has made the incredibly bad decision to leave his crappy, underpaying job and try to help her manage a business he knows nothing about. It only takes a few minutes for Tabitha to realize that Chris ain't doing shit except looking cute, so she leads him to discover that what he really wants to do is be a firefighter. Miss G can't wait for him to graduate the academy so she can get a look at his hose! Anyway, the salon is boring, bland, and stupidly laid out, so Tabitha goes in and rips out $375,000 worth of "interior design" to reshape the space into a place where people will enjoy getting their hair cut. And she does it all with a sense of biting South African sarcasm at a level Miss G can only dream ofsomeday achieving! It's a "must see" in Miss G's book and Tabitha has become one of her latest icons!
She also loves the show because the role that Tabitha serves is not unlike the job that "Boy Ginger" does every day in a retail setting, although he admittedly finds himself needing to be a bit more diplomatic and tactful and perhaps a bit less aggressive. Alas, a girl can only dream of doing her job the way she wants when she's "workin' for the man!"

hello miss ginger!
i love tabitha. she is my style icon (with the exception that i have to wear long sleeves to work)
did you see the last episode of project runway?
i did jury duty once before i was a teacher. i decided to wear short sleeves as i thought this would make them kick me off as i was a hooligan....ummmm the case was for a former prison inmate suing the state for using excessive force to restrain a prisoner. the defense attorney looked at his client, looked at me, and then said, juror number 14 is acceptable......the other time i got called down but didnt have to serve the judge excused all the teachers before getting to the real proceedings and told us to look for a call during the summer months.
ps my kitty has lost some weight...thanks again for your suggestions!
