Spring is in the air, and with it, the requisite smell of hair bleach that indicates it's makeover season for anyone who's decided they have the winter doldrums.
Or in this case, it was Eau d'Whimsy: Kim Kardashian, probably terribly bored any time there aren't any fresh engagement rumors about her on the grapevine, decided to wear a honey-colored wig on the town this weekend and then Twitter about it being her new look before admitting it was a ruse. How original. How very Paris Hilton In Her Brunette Phase. Hell, even Marcia Cross did it not that long ago, causing heart attacks everywhere (read: in our respective houses) because the idea of her giving up that gorgeous red hair is deeply tragic.
Here was our girl Kim not so long ago:

And here she was this weekend, pulling her "hilarious" "prank":

Personally, I think it's sort of fine, which I mean in exactly the lukewarm, uttered-with-a-yawn spirit you probably inferred from those words. It's not offensive, really. But it does look like it came from a bottle, even if in this case it came from a wig shop. And it makes her more generic. Actually, the more I look at it, the more I wonder if she secretly wants to trick people on the street into thinking she's Jennifer Lopez. I'm sure if it works, that would feel like a great compliment, until Mark Anthony sweeps in and tries to nibble her neck.
Oh, K.Kard, you card. She did Twitter some nonsense about how she's thinking about changing her color for real now, because she's enjoying the hairpiece so much. Isn't that an exciting thing to learn on a Monday morning about someone who is famous chiefly for having a butt, having sex on tape with Brandy's little brother, hooking up with an NFL running back, and dating Nick Lachey for like ten minutes before he decided she was only in it for the press? (Turns out Nick Lachey is no dummy. Who knew?) Yeah, I knew you'd be riveted. RIVETED.
