Why hair dryer work with bed room outlet but not work with gfci outlet at bath room?
It could be that the bathroom circuit simply has more on it so the hair dryer is pushing the circuit beyond its limit. In a typical bathroom, properly wired, this would not be the case.

Why is using an extension lead to take a hair dryer into a bathroom fatal?
GFCI recepticles are not required outside the bathroom so in the event of a current path from the dryer through the user to the ground / plumbing (faucets, water, drains), the path would not open until 15 amp circuit current is exceeded which is hundreds of times the fatal dose of current to the user. Bathroom GFCI recepticles detect the slightest current and break the circuit in an instant.
