<p>It's the trend that won't stop giving: Stylist and "fashion" "icon" Rachel Zoe is turning her reality television show chops toward a new project ... a New York blow-dry bar. (Not to be confused with the already existing Blow or DryBars in the city.)<br />
<!--more--></p>
<p>Ms. Zoe's <a href="http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20120909/RETAIL_APPAREL/309099968">DreamDry</a>--which will boast 20 stylists working at an already-leased 2,000-square-foot Flatiron-area building (no pun intended) at at 35 West 21st Street in preparation for the collaborative efforts of the stylist and her partner, former CAA agent Robin Moraetes--is the only the latest in the absolutely ridiculous series of hair concept boutiques that have been plaguing metropolitan cities in recent years. We're living in the sad reality when $40 for just a blowout is considered reasonable, as long as you are also given some free coffee and get to watch <em>Mean Girls</em> on closed-captioned TVs.</p>
<p>Ms. Zoe <a href="http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2012/09/10/rachel-zoe-hair-blow-dry-bar/">tells <em>People</em></a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Hair is the perfect way to reflect your personal style — it’s such an important component of creating and completing your look ... To me, hair should be considered an accessory — it changes by event, season, mood. With DreamDry, we are creating a place where women can go to ensure that their hair is consistently as stylish and chic as they are.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Funny ... we thought Rachel Zoe's <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2003787/The-perfect-accessory-Rachel-Zoe-wraps-baby-Skyler-rainbow-knit-blanket-trip-nail-salon.html">favorite accessory</a> was her baby son Skylar? Well, this announcement should at least draw attention away from the sad reality that Ms. Zoe's actual fashion line is not a big hit overseas: she'll be avoiding London's Fashion Week because Selfridges is <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/02/rachel-zoe-clothing-line-dropped-failing-selfridges_n_1850202.html">dropping her clothing</a> from their stores.</p>
