Most important story of the day: Michelle Obama doesn’t have bangs anymore: nymag.com/thecut/2013/05… — Sarah Rappaport (@SarahRapp) May 17, 2013

Oh, but has she really? The Daily Beast’s Isabel Wilkinson says no, silly.

As anyone who has had bangs knows: they’re still on her head. Judging from photo evidence alone, Michelle’s bangs haven’t gone anywhere. They’re more grown-out than they used to be, sure, but she’s just parted her hair differently and is wearing them swept up rather than straight down over her forehead.

Oh. Sorry, we’re just all sort of on the scandal look-out these days.
