There has been a lot of fuss about Michelle Obama's bangs. It's not much of a surprise considering that every style choice the First Lady makes is criticized and dissected as much as any political maneuvering her husband makes. During an appearance on the Rachel Ray Show, she jokingly blamed the blunt cut on a midlife crisis, adding that it was her best option since she couldn't buy a sports car and the secret service won't let her bungee jump. It came off as a cute quip - finally addressing "bangs-gate." But I think she's being totally serious and I can absolutely relate. I did the exact same thing when I needed to mix things up. That simple cut didn't just have a profound effect on the way I looked, it also impacted the way I felt.![]()
