Let the fun begin.

Khunying Pojamarn Shinawatra tested the political waters with her arrival at the Suvarnabhumi Airport this morning. Old Blue Eyes’ wife was immediately taken into custody by ever-vigilant police for an appearance before the Supreme Court for her role in  the controversial 33-rai Ratchadaphisek land deal.

The charge – corruption.

“Corruption moi?” as Miss Piggy might have said about the woman sharing the same coif as the Muppets’ star.

Dozens of reporters and photographers were in attendance for this event, however not a single photo has been released on the internet wire services of her arrest.

Talk about respect.

It must be the hair.

My mother sported a similar do in the 60s.

We micknamed the heavily-lacquered bouffant the ‘Helmet’ and this style remains a perennial favorite of Thai upper class women, but they might seek a more native fashion if they knew the origins of the ‘Helmet’, which is reported to have been popularized by Jackie Kennedy, although its true creator was Joey Shapiro, a little-known hairdresser from Great Neck New York.

His inspiration evolved from a deep-seeded resentment of his mother and his decision to seek revenge on his oppressive mother by fashioning the most ridiculous hairstyle imaginable.

Voila.

Le Bouffant or ‘Helmet’.

Joey’s being gay had nothing to do with his inspiration, but the enduring popularity of the ‘helmet’ with rich Thai women is a tribute to his anti-womanism.

His most famous quote.

“Two things smell like fish and one of them is fish.”

No reports still from the airport.

No photos either.

Her husband is reported to have scheduled a return in April.

Maybe he will have better luck with his haircut by then.
