Which "Mom-Do" Are You?
Moms looking to make a bolder statement with their tresses have no shortage of celebrity "Mom-Do's" to pull inspiration from this year. From tousled and low-maintenance looks to skull sculptures requiring a live-in stylist, there's something for every mom, from the campaign trail to Hollywood; from celebrity to wannabe. Before tearing the pages out of this week's tabloid mags, ask yourself: which Mom-Do best fits you?
The Palin
(aka the "Sexy Librarian," the "Hot for Teacher," the "Hockey Mom")
Monday through Friday, you rule the PTA with an iron fist; but on the weekend, you let your hair down for hunting trips and hockey matches. Surely there must be a happy medium for your impeccably highlighted locks!
Rest assured. Governor Sarah Palin has perfected the look for you born to lead, lipstick-sporting pit bulls. The neat, tight half-updo conveys a pulled together yet flirty image while fringed bangs frame and draw attention to your face. A teased bump at the crown keeps the look multi-generational (who doesn't love remembering the 80's?) and national (a big hit in small towns from Concord to Wasilla).
The Kate
(aka the "Business in Front, Party on Top," the "Sonic the Hedgemom")
You frankly don't care what the other moms on the playground think about you, your parenting style, your marriage, or your compulsive germaphobia. All that matters is that everyone in your life plays by your rules, including each and every hair on your head. It would better suit your busy schedule if hair could just be snapped on every morning like a helmet. Since it can't, you'll drag your trusted hair sculptor with you everywhere you go to ensure that your perfectly side swept bangs and spiky, spiky dome can withstand anything, from a torrential downpour to an unexpected onslaught of paparazzi shutterbugs.
The Angie
(aka the "Effortless Chic," the "Classy Bedhead")
In your eyes, your husband is the sexiest man alive, and even with full-fledged careers and a house full of kids, the two of you like to keep things hot. To the envy of everyone around you, you manage to roll out of bed in the morning with perfectly tousled, luscious locks (or you spend two hours with a curling iron and six kinds of mousse attempting this feat, and have us all fooled). Truth be told, you're too busy brokering world peace one day and hijacking cars, assassinating terrorists, or tomb-raiding the next to worry about your hair.
The Octomom
(aka the "Wannabe Angie")
You're convinced you should be famous just for giving birth to as many children as you have. Sadly, when competing with the rest of the Mom-Do's, this feat alone isn't enough to make you stand out. If the Angie is the Tricomi 'do, the Octomom is Supercuts' version.

Yes, Octo-mom has the supercuts version Too bad, she craves fame and fortune, but she never looks particulary good! She wears a cheap, albeit poor, imitation of Jolie!
Agreed, coco, and that's why I've worn my hair in that same style for years..except mine is a rather dark shade of pink (I dance to a different drummer..lol). Once your hair is cut into short layers, it limits your styling abilities (unless you wear falls or weaves, which I don't care for personally - I'll stick with what I was given)..! ;) ...
Do you really think she does this on her own? Of course not, she depends on her family, her kids and everyone else. She even has a puppy dog husband to follow her around. She gives all women a bad name
Poor thing.
You know what I like about Jolie? It has nothing to do with her looks, although she is beautiful, or with Brad, although he's beautiful, too.
She is, as Cedric the Entertainer would put it, a grown @ss woman. Not a 40 year old teenager bed hopping and sunbathing every weekend. A full grown woman. She looks like a woman that don't take no mess from nobody, including her derainged father. That's rare in a place as party hungry as Hollywood.
Getting her head on straight so early is miracle in that world. There are women and men in their 60's in Hollywood who are still acting like children.
Agreed. She's gorgeous inside and out. I saw some pictures of her in Africa a few years ago. No make up...jeans and a black t-shirt.
But as she visited the requisite AIDS clinic, she gave off a glow. Her face had such a expression of humanity and humility.
She is an old soul and as Cedric and montecarlo say - she is a grown woman.
Back on topic - I aspire to have Angelina's hair but it ends up looking like Palin's because I can't stand wearing it down. Plus I'll never have that kind of volume.
I look like a boy with short hair so I am the 40-something with a ponytail or loose up-do. While Palin was all over the news and I was getting comparisons, I stopped wearing it up but it drove me crazy. And just when I thought it was safe again - I read this article!
Montecarlo408,
You are so right about Angelina. She is drop dead gorgeous, talented, smart, a highly gifted individual who does what she can to bring light into the world. She has gone to places where people have been devastated by one crisis after another. And let's not forgot, adopting children who now have a wonderful home.
Jon Voight is out of his mind. I hope he gets disinvited to the Chabad Telethon this year. He really is "deranged" .
hands down "the Angie"
