Huckleberries: AP ‘reporterette’ Kruesi several cuts above male colleagues

Tweets Kimberlee Kruesi (@kkruesi), the fine Associated Press reporter in Boise: “The men in the (Idaho legislative) press room are currently shocked at how much we reporterettes (their word not Huckleberries’) spend on haircuts.” Huckleberries, of course, had to ask Kimberlee: How much do you pay for haircuts? Her answer: “It’s not unusual to pay $100 or more for highlights and a cut.” Which is 10 times as much as this columnist pays (with senior discount and before tip, of course) to the top-notch cutters at Sheer Madness for Hair on Coeur d’Alene’s Best Avenue. Kimberlee tries to space out her pricey haircuts to 10 weeks apart. She views them as an investment in her media career. Your columnist, meanwhile, is happy to still have hair to cut. No matter what the price/ DFO , Friday Huckleberries. More here.
