Her bright copper red hair was gathered into a ponytail at the crown of her head and cinched there, with a large portion of hair wrapped around the base to disguise any hair bands but also serve as an anchor of sorts for the descending lengths, which were parted on either side and flipped out at the ends. The skyscraper ponytail was so high, it added several inches to Palmer&#8217;s silhouette\u2014and, of course, looked <em>great<\/em> on camera as she moved about the <em>Password<\/em> stage.
