The New York Times recently reported on the ferver with which gals are requesting Blake Lively haircuts and compared it to that epic shag Chris McMillan gave Jennifer Aniston dubbed “The Rachel.” You know. Blake’s simply following my lead. Last month, I was in The New York Times’ Style Section, this month it’s her. Stop doing everything I DO, Blake. For the love.

Anywhoodle, I think Blake Lively has fabulous, long, thick, fabulously colored locks. Incidentally, we go to the same salon: Her colorist, Rona O’Connor (remember I interviewed her about Daisy Fuentes‘ beautiful hair?) works out of the Sam Brocato Salon in SoHo when she’s in New York–she has her own salon in LA–where I was just yesterday getting a fabulous voloisturized cut with my mane man Matthew James. BT dubs, I’ve taken a page from my gal Denise’s book and have started referring to his blowouts as The Matt (in a similar vein as The Rachel). Have you gotten Mattified yet? You must. Call (212) 334-3777 to make an appointment.

So anyway. While her hair is certainly something to write home about, at the end of the day, it IS just long layered locks. Blake Lively happens to have won the genetic lottery in the thickness department, which is everything. But save for that, you can attempt to recreate this one on your own with extensions or Biotin supplements.

But scoring arm candy as spicy as Penn Badgely (is he not the cat’s PAJAMAs lately? He’s the reason I find myself the only person on the planet looking forward to MONDAYS these days, dolls.) Not as easy.

Le sigh.
