Regina Ip is a broomhead no more

Broomhead's back - at least in person if not, alas, in hairstyle. Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee has quietly returned to town during a break from her studies in the US - just in time for yesterday's mass rally.

It hasn't been all politics for the former secretary of security. Between cosmetic shopping at Watson's and raids to Pacific Place, CitySeen understands she's been dining with girlfriends at Hutong, in Tsim Sha Tsui.

She has also found time for a trip to the hairdressers. Regina's many fans will be interested to learn the broomhead look has been replaced by a straight style.
