TTabatha Coffey is one of our major crushes at starcasm.net! It’s that no-nonsense, ball-busting attitude surrounding a very sweet and caring center that gets us. Plus, she’s hot! A new iteration of her salon takeover show called Tabatha Takes Over (airing Tuesdays 10/9c) follows Tabatha taking over everything from salons to yogurt shops, and all kinds of other businesses. Tabatha knows hair, but the true value of what she brings to salons is a keen business sense and emphasis on customer service, which can be used to turn around ANY business.
Like many interesting people, Tabatha did not have a boring childhood. In fact, the now-fit hairdresser-guru was once overweight, and grew up around drag queen strippers and mobsters!

Jessica is from a small Louisiana town called Mendin, where she feels trapped (get it, this show’s title is literal AND metaphorical!)

If you’ve been tuning in to the 2nd season of VH1’s docu-series Mob Wives, and apparently many of you have, you certainly noticed new addition Angela “Big Ang” Raiola.
She’s more outspoken than the other cast members (what a statement), lives up to her large nickname and even larger lady lumps as she likes to joke about and seems to fit right in with “the lifestyle” of the New York City Mob scene. Turns out that “Big Ang” should fit in because girl is connected not only through blood but through business dealings and just her everyday living. Raiola rolls with it so I though I’d key you in on her connections to “the lifestyle” and why you see her frequently getting respect from the peeps on Mob Wives.

Renee replied “I’ve been waiting for this for year. For years I’ve been in love with you, only you.”
