Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

There is just something about the fantasy that wraps around you when you consider running your fingers through Ichabod Crane’s silky blond hair that just kind of evaporates when you discover that actor Tom Mison is wearing a wig for the part.  Now, don’t get me wrong, Tom is a hottie but Ichabod is well, beautiful.

I sparked a bit of a debate this week about Tom’s hair on Twitter after commenting that I was shocked when I found it he really had short hair so I began to examine the origins of my hair trauma and unraveled my own mystery.

For me, it’s about the fantasy of the shows these actors are in and the roles they play. In “Sleepy Hollow,” Ichabod’s hair is long. When I saw a picture of Tom Mison recently it just kind of ripped my fantasy away – not that it is a bad thing. It just made it quite clear where the lines in the sand are when it comes to our favorite shows.

I was stunned when Stana Katic from “Castle” cut her hair last summer and not because the cut isn’t cute and she isn’t gorgeous and uber talented but more along the lines of “How could you just cut it all away?”

I think I’m okay if I know upfront the actor wears wigs like in the cases of the beautiful and talented ladies Lana Parrilla and Ginnifer Goodwin from “Once Upon a Time.” Hair lengths switch back and forth and I can maintain my hair composure because I still have that little conditioner of fantasy to fall back on. Maybe a chat with my stylist will calm my issues but until then I will have to accept hair today that might be gone tomorrow!
