He was hoisted by his own petard, just like Dr. Boogie on the Bravo reality show Shear Genius, who'd been so cocky about his experience doing high-profile hair-styling but ended up getting axed last week during the episode in which the hairdressers had to do a photo shoot with famed photographer Matthew Rolston -- the one challenge you'd think he'd have won.
