Should you start 2013 with a bang?

Not long after Kate Middleton, now Duchess of Cambridge, was caught rocking side bangs (just prior to announcing her pregnancy), Michelle Obama debuted a fringy ’do of her own, just in time for her 49th birthday — and all the Inaugural festivities.

Obama showed off her shoulder-grazing bob last week, just as she debuted a new Twitter handle, @FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States), which immediately appeared to be flooded with commentary on her chic, lopped-off locks.

Pity the poor First Lady of any era - recently women of some accomplishment relegated to foppish press panting over arm defination, color palette and hair style.   When I saw the most recent images of MO, all I could think of was Tina Turner.  Michelle rocks 2013 with a throw - back look from the mid 1990s.
