Who's That Girl? Elle Says Myia Ingoldsby's Hairstyle is Fall's New Look
As far as this junk-TV junkie can tell, the only thing saving Bravo's “Date My Ex: Jo and Slade” is Myia Ingoldsby's hair.
Though I am repulsed by Jo De La Rosa's shallowness and Slade Smiley's control issues, I confess that watching the show is like gorging myself on cotton candy: I always feel sticky afterwards. I haven't heard the word “douche-bag” (compliments of Jo’s Ari Gold-esque suitor David while describing Slade) since high school, and I have to admit it put me on a nostalgia trip.
And then there's Myia Ingoldsby, Jo's so called “best friend,” a.k.a. random girl who just happens to be British, poised, and available enough to host her “friend's” dating show.
Although I can't help but wonder where the hell she came from, Ingoldsby does have one redeeming factor -- her hair. According to fashion handbook Elle, Myia's thick cut bangs are one of fall 2008’s top 10 “it hairstyles.” (Or is this some bored editorial writer's idea of a practical joke on the public?)
Her locks are also bleached enough for her to fit in with the best of LA’s “real fake” blonde, tan, and big-breasted women. You never really know how her hair will be styled when she steps onto the screen: pin straight, curly, bun, braids? But you can always count on her signature thick bangs that barely reveal her eyes.
Do I smell “spin-off”? Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
