Beijing Olympic Mandarins Dictate Chinese Fashion
HIGHER, longer, curlier, shorter:
Beijing’s long-suffering taxi-drivers are in the cross-hairs once again — with shaved heads to be banned from the driving seat ahead of next year’s Beijing Olympics, a report said Thursday.
Just two months after the city’s transport department banned women taxi drivers from wearing “too-fancy” hairstyles, new rules will outlaw beards and shaved heads for the men, according to Beijing’s The First newspaper.
The regulations proposed by the Beijing city government’s bureau on quality standards were aimed at “giving a good impression” to customers, the paper said. They go into effect in mid-July.

Ridiculous. All the taxi drivers have to be are: polite, honest, well-groomed, safe drivers, no loud music, no spitting, and knowledgeable of the city layout. What do hairstyles have to do taxi service?
