Best & Worst: The Donald as hair icon

More

This post is written as part of AOL Money & Finance's Best & Worst 2006. You can vote for Donald Trump's hair as the Worst Signature Style.

Good Mr. Trump, he of the fluffy comb-over, had a heck of a year in 2006. We should all be so lucky (he would ascribe luck to none of it, of course, but that is another matter)!

Just a few of his accomplishments:

  • The Iconic Donald saw his net worth rise again above a mere five billion dollars.
  • He is erecting buildings all over the world, including a Trump Tower in Dubai. The Hair is literally global.
  • He married a stunning model, half his age, and fathered a lovely son whom he subtly named Baron. He has stated for the record that he does not and will not change the baby's diapers.
  • His television show, The Apprentice, is literally one of the top-rated shows in television. To demonstrate that his Trumpian blood line lives on, he fired his firm professionals from the show and put both of his genetically perfect children on camera alongside him. And they are articulate and on the ball, like pop.
  • To put a capper on his TV dominance he put a smack down on his "friend" and Apprentice ingénue, Martha Stewart, when she attempted her own show and talked down the D-man. Nobody does that! Wonder how he handles his enemies when they cross him?

And now, at year end, he is giving foreign-policy style speeches and musing about running for president. And like our current president, the Donald does not drink alcohol. No wonder he is always so crisp.

All this has gotten him to that rare air occupied by Madonna, Oprah and Prince, where one is known only by one name. Even if you say "George," you have to wonder if it is Clooney or Jetson being referenced. No confusion with D-boy!

So his '06 was pretty good! Perhaps only Lance Armstrong got more done this year, and he has limited hair.

And that leads to Trump's signature style, which is his irrepressible 'doo. It's a magnificent sweeping flow of sculpted froof, held in place no doubt by mounds of expensive Frederic Fekkai gel. It does lead one to wonder how the bed-head looks at four in the morning when he gets up to move fluids, or how it all hangs when it's wet coming out of the shower. I would have to guess that it's not his most beautiful moment.

But I studied his 'doo carefully on TV this week and it's even bigger and more flowy than normal. Only The Donald (he should just go by "D" in my opinion) would have the huevos rancheros to wear such a mop and make it his own, but he does it and does it daily. For this alone, he deserves a "Look of the Year" award.

Next stop, the salon at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
