Ashburn Woman Ambushed by 'Today Show' Crew

NOTE: See below for the update.
Imagine her surprise when Vicki Clary of Ashburn opened her apartment door this morning to find a beauty team and TV crew beckoning to give her a new look.
"Ambush Makeover" is a contest on NBC's "Today Show" where hair, make-up and clothing stylists from the morning show pick women from across the country to, well, ambush and makeover.
Clary, a firefighter for Fairfax Fire and Rescue, wrote to producers of the "Today Show," saying she'd like to be considered for the segment in order to "rediscover her girlie side."
During this morning's live broadcast, hairstylist Louis Licari told the cameras, "Just 'cause she's a firefighter, doesn't mean she's going to be a redhead!"
At this point, Clary looked somewhat nervous, sitting with a cape draped around her neck and her hair in foils.
UPDATE: The svelte firefighter is blonder and smokin' hot! The "Today Show" beauty team gave Clary highlights, bangs and dressed her in a chic Nicole Miller black dress. Check out this video for more on Clary's "Ambush Makeover" and watch her co-workers react to her new look.

I think this is sexist. Why was a man not picked?

Gotta love MSNBC's gritty, no-holds barred quest for important news ...
