I got a haircut today. Just a trim —
No need to alert the media.
I walked in the salon not knowing how much I was going to cut. My stylist and I talked about it, adjusted things as we went along — your typical ‘do. But I realized how different my experience was from an A-list celebrity.
Take actress Michelle Williams, for example.
She made a red carpet appearance this week sporting new, longer bangs and short shorts.
Twitter blew up.
Why the new ‘do? Why the edgier style? Was it a personal choice? Was it for a film?
Why, Michelle, why???
After days of questions — media outlets practically panting in their intensity — one proudly announced the answer:
Michelle is growing out her bangs.
Wow. We are ridiculous.
