I have to say that I just looove Hillary's hair style.

[MoonRiver]

That is all. Please rec if you agree. If you don't, well, bless your heart.

[leftofcool]

1. I do too.

I think it fits her face and I love the color.

[MoonRiver]

2. Yes, what leftofcool said!

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. This'll bring 'em running.

5 - 4 - 3 - 2 -

[Enrique]

4. you have to say it?

what happens to you if you don't?

[DarknessFalls]

5. Agreed. She has great hair for someone her age.

K&R

[VanillaRhapsody]

6. I think her hairstyle is appropriate for a woman of her stature and position in life...

It doesn't look like she is trying to look young...nor is it a "matronly" style either. It looks like it is not a lot of effort to achieve daily because it is not being forced to do something that it unnaturally would....an attractive low upkeep style for a busy woman with work to do....who doesn't want to be distracted by maintaining a more complicated coif. She is not trying to look like something she is not. Her hairstyle is simple yet elegant and looks equally attractive in a pantsuit or evening gown. I see absolutely nothing wrong with her current hairstyle. I am sure until now she has for the most part...done her own hair styling day to day because she has always traveled so much. I for one am not expecting her to have perfect hair everyday...

[calimary]

56. I think it's great-looking for all the reasons you mentioned, VanillaRhapsody!

It's flattering, not fussy, and probably easy to keep.

Hillary has taken all kinds of shit about her hair for as long as I can remember her being in the public eye. Remember her headbands, back during the 1992 campaign? CRIMINY, you'd have thought she was doing some skinhead thing, the uproar about it. Everybody judging everything she did and how she looked and dressed. People made such a fuss about her headbands. I had long hair and wore headbands all the time, too, back then. To keep it outta my FACE! So I can relate. And she looked good with a headband on, too.

I kept thinking - "what's it to you, anyway?"

[In_The_Wind]

7. It's very becoming.

[patricia92243]

8. Picture??

[MoonRiver]

9. Watch the news.

[freshwest]

20. Had to cut off cable television. But I think you mean this hairstyle, right?

[Trajan]

50. I don't think the art of kindness or charity is your forte.

You post about her hair, don't provide an example in your OP, and then castigate someone who kindly asks to, 'go get it yerself' ...

YAY for Hillary's hair, and FUCK YOU, get it yourself.(paraphrased)

But hey - bless your heart anyway.

[rug]

10. I'm awed by her manicure.

[RoccoR5955]

11. Yeah, it'll probably get her elected!

IT HAS NOT A DAMN THING TO DO AS TO WHETHER SHE IS QUALIFIED!
I REALLY COULDN'T CARE ONE BIT
if she had plaid hair with polka dots!
If a person is fit for the job, they are fit for the job. Their outer appearance should have very little, if anything to do with their qualifications.

[MoonRiver]

12. I don't think the art of subtlety is your forte.

But bless your heart anyway.

[RoccoR5955]

13. Damn right it isn't

And don't bless me, I don't believe in any mythological creatures!

[MoonRiver]

15. And you lack the elements of humor and satire also.

Goes right over you head, clearly.

[RoccoR5955]

39. Then you might be surprised to find out

that MANY folks voted for Ronnie Raygun, because they thought that he looked attractive, and his freakin' hair style was better than Carter's!
Well it's true!

[murielm99]

60. ROFL.

You post a subtly humorous comment about Hillary's appearance, even though it is true and accurate. They pounce on it and link it in another thread, blasting it as shallow.

Yet many of the Bernistas have pictures of Bernie's fringe, celebrating his look. Go figure.

[Thinkingabout]

17. She had the qualifications before the hair style and no the hair style does not

have anything to do with the great qualifications she has.

[MoonRiver]

18. Absolutely. I'm just being a little silly.

I do like her hair but some just can't get past the hate, lol.

[Thinkingabout]

21. Sometimes we have to have some fun, my post was not meant for you.

Ever Onward!!!

some can not stand the fact Hillary is out and running, looking good, sounding good and doing good.

[MoonRiver]

22. You totally got my point Thinkingabout.

Also, some haters have repeatedly said when they disagree with something external about her that "image is everything," except when it's not.

[rhett o rick]

61. How does betrayal of her Party and helping George Bush sell the disasterous

war, fit in with "qualified"? Stick with how her hair style fits her face.

[vankuria]

14. Love it too!

She looks terrific and sounds it too!

[MoonRiver]

16. +1000!

[one_voice]

19. I agree! I said earlier that I think she looks fantastic...

and before anyone jumps on me--yes I've said the same about male politicians. I've commented on whether President Obama looked tired, more grey, more relaxed, thin, etc.

I think her hair style/color is very becoming.

on edit: I thought the roundtable was a good idea and I enjoyed listening to what she had to say.

[AtomicKitten]

23. Wait. I want to get this straight.

It's okay for you to address Hillary's appearance, but it's sexist for those not enamored with her to comment?

Just trying to keep track of the rules.

[nomorenomore08]

29. Even if you don't care for her - and I'm not a huge fan - why focus on her appearance in a negative

way? Even the fugliest of male politicians don't get half the shit she does just for being an older woman.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

40. seriously!

And....there are issues she fights for passionately, which are highly important to me. That's a big plus.
She's tough, she's smart as hell.

I haven't looked at her policy record enough to be able to say what I think overall yet.

I wish Elizabeth Warren would run.

[nomorenomore08]

42. I would love Warren also. But I'll vote Clinton if it comes down to that. n/t

[BlancheSplanchnik]

44. Absolutely!

Never a doubt.

The misogyny we're going to see is not gonna be easy to face, I reckon.

[rhett o rick]

24. Yes her hair is quite lovely. I am glad we can find common ground. nm

[NBachers]

25. I love her hair style and bless my heart also.

[ablamj]

26. Her hair style

is a lot better than the styles of the other declared candidates (especially Rand Paul)!

[valerief]

27. I thought women running for president don't have worry about their "look"

like First Ladies do.

[nomorenomore08]

30. Oh, they do. The political world is still blatantly unfair in that respect. n/t

[valerief]

31. And some members of DU apparently, because if it wasn't important, there wouldn't be

a post about it.

I guess some people just want to keep this useless objectification alive.

[nomorenomore08]

32. I'm not sure if the OP is a Clinton supporter or not. Either way, it does seem unnecessary. n/t

[valerief]

34. I see. I don't keep track of Hillary fanbots. I'm not much of a swooner. nt

[Geronimoe]

28. John Edwards

Perhaps she is using John Edwards hair stylist. What was he paying, around $400 for a trim?

[treestar]

41. good reminder

I remember right wingers going on about Kerry's hair, too.

[Liberal_in_LA]

33. it's a good style for her

[hrmjustin]

35. I love her hair.

[William769]

36. Kick & recommended.

[Thor_MN]

37. I've never quite heard anyone say that about a male candidate...

Not really sure what to make of that, other than noting it.

She also seems to have been singled out to be called by first name. Other than derisive plays on first names, like Squatty, for Walker, male candidates are identified by their last name, after a possible use of their full name.

[merrily]

46. You can refer to Walker as Walker, to Rubio as Rubio, but

you either have to type out Hillary Cllinton or use Hillary, to avoid confusion with Bubba. Same with Jeb Bush and Dimson.

Bernie has often been referred to on his board as Bernie. I don't see a problem.

[PoliticAverse]

51. She's indicated she wants to be called "Hillary". This goes along with her campaign symbol,

an 'H' with an arrow.

[Thor_MN]

53. Which, 3 and half months later, has what to do with her hairstyle?

It seems that people are liking first names this time around. Hillary is leading Bernie (and everyone else). O'Malley and Chafee wish people knew their first names or that they were running and the other 13 Democratic candidates are thrilled if someone nods their head while passing them on the sidewalk.

[Cheese Sandwich]

38. It's weak. Bernie Sanders has the best hair in this race.

just kidding. We're talking about hair.

[morningfog]

43. This is just as sexist as others comments on her looks.

I think she looks great. To me the only "looks" question that matters is whether the candidate looks healthy enough or the job. McCain did not, for example. Hillary does.

[merrily]

45. I thought we weren't supposed to comment on her appearance?

[MoonRiver]

47. IMHO, we are allowed to say positive things about all candidates.

What's wrong with that?

[merrily]

48. Again, I thought we were not supposed to comment (positive or negative) about her appearance.

[MoonRiver]

49. I didn't get the memo.

[VanillaRhapsody]

54. This sounds vaguely like what some Rightwingers say about Black people using the N Word....

because its what they really want to say....

Are you disappointed you cannot say bad things about her appearance or something?

[Polly Hennessey]

52. Hil's Hair

It looks great on her and she is looking better and more beautiful each day.

[cherokeeprogressive]

55. And isn't her family just the handsomest EVER? Isn't it JUST?

She'll be the smartest President with the highest IQ we've ever had!

Every speech she gives will be the bestest ever!

[onehandle]

57. I have to say that Hillary looks healthier and more vibrant this time around.

She wasn't my first choice in 2008, but she certainly is now.

58. Bernie's is better.

[paleotn]

59. You're kidding, right?

and bless your own little pea pickin' heart. I weep for my country.

[OnyxCollie]

62. Hillary's hair can stand up to Putin's hair any day of the week.

[Hepburn]

63. Perfect topper for her pant suits. n/t
