I actually loved Jonathan, and thought he was a great stylist.His staff are the ones I personally wanted to strangle.Gripe, gripe, complain, complain.Like little freakin kids.He actually was a little too nice. I haven't seen show 2 because I no longer have Bravo. Tell me, will they sale these on dvd's? I hope so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1122389349628468252005-07-26T07:49:00.000-07:002005-07-26T07:49:00.000-07:00Lisa, I have not watched the Rock Star show yet, a...Lisa, I have not watched the Rock Star show yet, although a good amount of people around me swear that it's a great show. Thanks for checking out the blog! It's funny how we are all connected, isn't it? <BR/><BR/>Yeah, sharkeysday, I asked my stylist about the show last season, and he pretty much thought the same of the characters -- idiots. I swear I felt that Jonathan's "sessions" with his shrink were made just for the show, to somehow get another side of him. Did you see how forced the scenes were? Made for awkward moments. The same for his "girlfriend," or who I'd like to politely call his "beard." It looks like he's going to pop the question to her for the big finale coming up next week. Oh yipee. <BR/><BR/>Koukla, I think that that is why Andrea and i watch: to laugh at such stupidity. Again, all to make us feel a whole lot better about ourselves knowing that we aren't selfish, arrogant poo-holes, like the people they showcase shows like Blow Out.<BR/><BR/>And that's why we'll probably watch for next season!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and what kind of idea was that -- to make a filter for your showerhead??? He was riding that Jonathan Product success high, that's what was going on there. See how they just went back and did some shots of him going through this revelatory moment in the shower? C'mon now, producers. We viewers not that stupid. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of stupid (and oh, so deliciously fun to watch) anybody getting into Big Brother 6?Ward Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013085293679968596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1122364915544901512005-07-26T01:01:00.000-07:002005-07-26T01:01:00.000-07:00I LOVE your sketches--they are so perfect.

I feel bad for his "girl" (Sesie I think). I would NEVER have anything to do with a man that arrogant.Carolyn A.

Shoot, maybe you two know each other. I can't keep up with all the people he knows... <BR/><BR/>Do you like the "Rock Star: INXS" show? It's a little weird because of the whole circumstances of why the show is even on, but it's very entertaining.

I mean, last year it was like, "Ok, he's stressed out and trying to open a new salon. Things are going to be tough."<BR/><BR/>But this year, he's really been a prick from what I can see. His whole "I'm the king" sort of business practice drives me nuts... and everyone just takes it. Perhaps this is the way things go in this industry... but most of the world wouldn't deal with a primadona like him on a day to day basis. <BR/><BR/>In the end, it'll be interesting to see if his product line takes off... and who sticks around and continues to put up with him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1121725711876699312005-07-18T15:28:00.000-07:002005-07-18T15:28:00.000-07:00BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Between graduation and day one at the office I had a couple of weeks to sit around a lot, during that time i was able to catch a Blow Out marathon and must say, got hooked.

Is it still showing on Bravo. Years (and years and years ago...my god, probably a decade now) I used to go to Jonathan's salon in West Hollywood. My "stylist's" name was Morrissey. Yep, that's right...that really was his name. Was he on the show??? I really liked him though I couldn't help but think he'd given himself the name (you know, it was the mid-ninety's and all!!)paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755723551785078171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1121721784530148712005-07-18T14:23:00.000-07:002005-07-18T14:23:00.000-07:00Thanks for the compliment, Mike!

It's funny how the final design made the two make up. Aww, that's sweet: Design brings the world together. <BR/><BR/>I don't know how I would've handled it either, if I was Scott, if I had to wait that long. Rude business practices. It's a wonder they even got anything out of it, too. Probably they both knew they had to because of the cameras rolling. I'm surprised they allowed Bravo to show that much in the first place.Ward Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013085293679968596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1121719380328143352005-07-18T13:43:00.000-07:002005-07-18T13:43:00.000-07:00Excellent drawings, by the way...

Its been quite difficult to watch. <BR/><BR/>First of all, you dont make your client wait for you to show up - I dont care who you are. And if you're made to wait - you dont turn around and do the same thing back to the designer the next week... even if the designer shouldn't have made you wait. If I were scott, and Johnathan had made me wait 3 hours in his salon while he cut some hair... I dont know how well I would have handled that.<BR/><BR/>Bottom line is, I dont care who you are... both parties are way too full of themselves and I'm amazed there was a camera lens with a wide enough angle to get them both in the shot at the same time.<BR/><BR/>Come to think of it... I can't remember seeing them both in the same shot. Maybe they're the same person!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
