Michelle Obama's bangs

[cash__whatiwant]

I love them!! I think they look so modern and young on her!

[peacebird]

1. So do I!

[tridim]

2. Very fetching.

[Vadem]

3. You're right--it is very young looking, ,but it covers up her pretty face, unfortunately! n/t

[question everything]

4. Next thing - all the women who sit at a desk reading news (so-called)

will appear with bangs. Just as it was four years ago - and running - when they started wearing sleeveless tops to show that they, too, have "sculptured" upper arms.

7. You are 100% correct

They imitate so well

5. I like the new look!

Speaking of Mrs. Obama, for some reason, I thought how she looked when they returned to Washington after election day was really classy!



Something about her in this picture says "I am the wife of a two-term President, and you're not, Ann Romney!"

6. She looks great!

8. It's surprising how they change her face...

I think she looks younger with them. But it will take me awhile to get used to her face with them. Either way, inside and out, she is a beautiful woman.

I saw her and heard her speak during the 2008 campaign, when she came to my city. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The energy and excitement in the convention center was palpable. I'll never forget how thrilled I was. She is amazing!!

[question everything]

9. Certainly nicer than Mamie Eisenhower'

bangs

[Beacool]

11. Come on, not fair.

Michelle is only 49 and Mamie was in her 60s. Although those overly short bangs wouldn't have suited anyone at any age. I guess it was a 50s thing.

13. i think it would have been ok for girls 7 and under

[Kahuna]

15. That is not right...

[MrMickeysMom]

22. Let's face it... 1950 "bangs" were an epic failure...

[Auntie Bush]

10. She looks cute with bangs but more First Ladyish (sophisticated) with long hair.

I really don't like them and I hope she lets them grow in as soon as possible. It's too bad she didn't wait until after the inauguration.

[grantcart]

21. I agree. I thought she looked fantastic before and prefer that look.

[amandabeech]

28. Agreed.

She still looks very nice, though.

[Recursion]

12. If I didn't think POTUS would kick my ass, I'd totally ask her out

But he's the first President I think could probably beat me up

[Cha]

14. She is workin' those bangs!

16. They do her a disservice by not giving her

Uplighting, IMO. The shadow below her cheekbones gives her skin a "five-o'clock shadow" on her lower jaw. I think lighting would correct that.

20. Thanks for the visual! Love them.

I think bangs emphasize a person's eyes. I'm about Mrs. Obama's age, and I've always had bangs. They're very flattering, IMHO. I think they look great on her.

17. This thread needs a theme song.

[NMDemDist2]

18. meh

i don't care for them myself, but she only has to please herself

[lunatica]

19. They look great on her!

[Renew Deal]

23. I don't think it's worth discussing

[cash__whatiwant]

24. thanks for this input. nt

[HipChick]

25. It looks like a hair weave...

the area around the crown of her head does not sit close to her scalp..

[sasha031]

26. love her hair, it's taken 15 yrs off

[madrchsod]

27. yup! a great look!

[SugarShack]

29. It's cute.It's not elegant. You can do more with it the other way. Bangs and gowns?

She'll need a "bump"...to dress it up.
