Obama Bob Not A Big Deal.

I like Michelle Obama's faux bob. Really, I do. The sweep has a classic look to it and like fashion writer Samantha Critchell at the Associated Press, wrote, "Mrs. Obama also is reminding women how versatile their hair can be and how much an easy change in style can lift their overall appearance." But people, it's not really a big deal. I've seen many a black woman in my day tuck their hair up with bobby pins, just so so that it looks like a bob. Usually it's a a fall back look when our ends need trimming, or we need a new press or a relaxer. Save the shock and awe for when the First Lady gets Great Lengths  Extensions, or a a Lace Front wig, or braids. This, bob, however cute, has the same news value as a French Twist!

About Elizabeth Wellington
I’m a Libra so I’m all about pretty things. We of the scales sign know what we like, and our standards are high. So I can’t help but love fashion – one day I will get that Diane von Furstenberg wrap and those Christian Louboutin shoes. And fragrances? My favorite right now is Chanel Mademoiselle. As for makeup, can we say MAC? So let’s thank the Greek goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, that a true fashionista can find everything she needs right here in Philly. I’ve covered fashion here for six years, and I have traveled to New York, Los Angeles and Paris to write about local and national designers. Let me tell you, there is no place where people wear midnight Eagles green or Phillies red with such wild abandon as they do on the west side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Sound familiar? This blog is for you.
