CROSSOVER RUNNER-UP (5/15/06)

Former Jonathan Antin hairstylist Brandon Martinez starred in 'Salon Diaries', a one-hour special that was scheduled for May 9th. (It appears that the special is getting multiple airings on Bravo.)

This was a spin-off from the reality series 'Blow Out' which centered on Jonathan Antin. But being a reality show, 'Salon Diaries' never really stood a chance against something like the 'Doctor Who'/'Red Dwarf' match-up.

'Salon Diaries' takes place at the Warren-Tricomi Salon in Los Angeles. If successful, the special could become a series.

"We are talking about a series," says salon co-owner Joel Warren, that won't be "just about whining and crying in one salon."

Sounds like... "fun". As Mel Cooley would say, "Yehckch!"

(Not that he had any reason to visit a salon......)

BCnU!
