This Concept Isn't Working for Me with Nemesis Ruiz

Model Nemesis Ruiz had adventurous hair in childhood, but today keeps it anything but adventurous. After a run-in with a pair of scissors at age 5 followed by occasional barbaring from her family, Nemesis challenges whether the theme of this pod is relevant to everyone as she enjoys not changing her hair ever. Well, she did part it on the side once. Elke did that too (to look like Conan O'Brien, of course).
