Ending the week with a bang! Baby bangs, do or don't?

Enter the Baby Bangs. Yo Landi from Die Antwoord. 

Amelie. The haircut that launched a thousand trips to the salon and shortly thereafter, caused a seas worth of tears to fall.

Somehow, I always thought that Baby Bangs were the unfortunate result of an accidental slip of the scissors during a bang trim. Yet, these chicks seem to pull it off. I can't help but wonder if this style would be as "banging" out of the editorial setting.  Like say, a makeup free, tee shirt and sweatpants kind of day...think about it.  You'd look more like an insane asylum escapee than an adorable Amelie devotee.  At any rate, that's the problem with uber trendy styles--they don't always translate to the every day.

Introducing: Ending the week with a bang!

Made so popular by the vampy pin up this style of bangs has the same name as the woman herself.
To help me keep up with more frequent blog posts, I'm initiating a weekly Friday post called, "Ending the week with a bang!" I started this blog because I was (and still am) obsessed with bangs. Also known as forehead fringe, I simply find bangs delightful. The side swoop, the rainbow, theater curtains, the broom, you name it, I love it! You'll have to wait to see each of these iterations featured in their own post because I am kicking off the series with the queen of all bangs, Bettie Page herself!   The Bettie Page is cut to hit at the mid forehead and curve up towards the temples.  Katy Perry rocks a modern day smurfy version below.
