Lady Cab Driver…Please Lose the Henna?
by Becky - April 20, 2007 - 12:39 PM

eryI’ve always secretly wanted to drive truck for a brief stint–or hey, maybe cabs. Reading all that Daniel Handler (while listening to Prince’s “Lady Cab Driver”) has romanticized the notion of the female cabbie for me. But I might want to keep those inclinations stateside, or at least just out of China. According to a recent “self-improvement list” issued by the Beijing Transportation Management Bureau in preparation for the ‘08 Olympic Games, cabbies must now adhere to stricter personal appearance sanctions…Including, if you’re a female, no more “red hair” or “big earrings.”

  1. Does that mean blue, green, purple, and pink are acceptable follicle options?…I certainly hope so, I don’t want my dreams of cabbie life in the People’s Republic compromised by my blue streaks!

  2. It isn’t Henna they’re talking about – its the bright bright red color dye they streak the hair with. Actually its kind of cool – usually its either blue or red streaks.
