Poor Image: Dye Hard

While an example of the trope, I don't think the current image portrays it particularly well. Unfamiliar with Tori Amos, I wouldn't have realised that her hair was dyed if it wasn't for the link in the caption (who could be anybody, I might add).

I think that in order to portray the trope more clearly, the picture should either be an unusual shade (e.g. white, blue, green, etc), a collage of different hair colours or at least a before/after shot (with it clearly being the same person).

As such, I'd like to suggest replacing the current picture with Katy Perry◊.

Current image:

You'd be shocked that the Fiery Redhead Tori Amos isn't actually a real redhead...◊

Ah frack! I buggered it. Anyone know how to link it to the correct page?

Holler a mod to change the link.

No worries. Managed to fix it. Thanks.

Also Dennis Rodman: [1]◊ [2]◊

I think Rodman works well. The second pic is cleaner, but if the first scales well I think that's better.

The 2nd Dennis Rodman is much better. It's easier to see the difference without squinting

I like the Katy Perry pic, but Rodman #2 is good also.

I'm obviously going to be biased but I think the Rodman suggestions aren't as good as the Katy Perry one. Rodman #1 is messily arranged and clearly cropped from a larger collage (his face is cut off at the bottom and at the side). Likewise, Rodman #2 has uneven white borders and his face can't be seen in half the pictures.

Therefore, Katy Perry for me.

1. Not "clearly" I don't think, as far as I can tell it is original; for better or worse the "cut off" parts are intentional.
2. "Uneven"? Look even to me. Also, can tell all four are the same person without seeing his face clearly in all of them.

Not terribly invested either way, but, those points seem odd.

Katy Perry's hair color varies. It doesn't count. How about Reese Witherspoon, whose's a brunette but always palys blonde characters in every movie she appeared in.

I disagree. The article is about people who are famous for having dyed hair to the point it makes up an important part of their public image and is not restricted to people who only stick to one colour. In fact, it can (and should) be argued that those who stick to one natural-looking colour do not depict this article well as it is not obvious (especially for those not familiar with their work) that their hair is dyed. This was the reason why I brought this topic up in the first place (as it's not obvious that Tori Amos has dyed hair. The same goes for Reese Witherspoon.

Bump...any other thoughts/suggestions?

Clock is set. Crowner between Katy and The Worm?

The Worm?

Um, anyway, I like Rodman #2. Katy's not bad, but I prefer Rodman.

"The Worm" is Dennis Rodman's nickname.

I like the second Rodman image even better than the Katy Perry one.

Alright, the clock's up and since the second Rodman pic has some consensus, it's up, potholed, and tagged. Locking up.
