NBC5's Lindsay Wilcox gets super-sized -- with her hair

Sometimes things just jump out at you -- such as Lindsay Wilcox's mushrooming head o' hair.

The NBC5 anchor/reporter worked her usual morning shifts over the weekend. And those house afire tresses are a definite wakeup call, reminiscent of the BIG HAIR that dominated '70 and '80s TV. Maybe she's auditioning for a cameo on TNT's new version of Dallas, where a back-in-the day Linda Gray sported both oversized locks and shoulder pads. Jane Fonda's Barbarella look comes to mind, too.

As one who succumbed to a big, puffy curly-haired perm in the '70s, I'm not one to rip or clip anyone's hair. But Wilcox definitely is calling attention to herself with a super-sized coif that perhaps is ready for a latter day comeback. Or not.
