IF Madonna is a Material Girl then Cyndi Lauper is a Seasonal Girl.

Explaining her chemical blonde (and then some!) look at a press conference she held at the Regal Hong Kong yesterday, Lauper explained that her looks changed according to the seasons.

She said: 'In the spring I was purple. But then when I went out in summer and saw the tulips I took a brush and painted my hair yellow.' But as the press conference progressed, someone questioned Lauper about her age (she's 41) in a manner that almost turned her hair white.
