Come on into Air Force One, sir. You’re the new hairdresser here to style the first lady’s hair for the big trip?
Yes, I am. I must admit I was a little surprised to be called in for such a big job.
We don’t have many options left. Ms. Obama is VERY particular about her hair, and often if she’s unhappy with the results, the stylist…
Gets fired?
No. Totally disappears from the face of the earth. So, what is your name again?
Lamar.
Okay, Lamar, here are your tools, approved by the Secret Service. Toy plastic scissors and a styling comb with most of the teeth removed.
Do you have any ideas? Did you bring some beauty magazines or anything?
No, just this Woody Woodpecker comic book I’m reading.
Well, just do your best. Believe me, you’ll know right away what she thinks of it.

She would fit in on a catwalk with hair like that…

There is something about Michelle.
Poor Lamar. I can just hear what Michelle said to her SS agents: “This matter is best disposed of over water . . . from great height.”
@Ifly: At least it didn’t get on her dress…
How many people did the Woody Woodpecker laugh in their heads? Or perhaps out loud if they felt so inclined? Come on now, show of hands!
@Jazz, Mrs. Obama seems to have a better grasp on how to conduct herself around the Presidential staff aboard Air Force One than previous administrations.
Oops Michelle didn’t kneel for Queen. Looks like she *knows* now, you go girl!
Eerily reminiscent of me and my bed head.
HaHaHaHAHa! HaHaHaHAHa! Hahahaha!
So did they screeen ‘The Artist’ on Ear Fours Won, or does Lamar also do the hair for Alexandra Lamy?
Between The Donald and Michelle, it’s been quite a hair-raising week or so. Does anyone remember Howard Cosell and his toupee troubles? Ah, those were the days!
Mrs O is lucky her eyelashes stayed glued on though, it’s been REALLY windy here this week.
it def looks like her hair could be a nice big bird nest…are there eggs in there?
Mrs. O might want to borrow one of Her Majesties hats next time.
Was Lamar listening to Elvis while he read his Woody Woodpecker comic?
I am so glad you ran the Woody photo as my first thought was of an alien popping out of her head. I hate it when that happens, don’t you?
Spinni, you keep on insisting that good old horse toothed adulterer Chuck is the the coolest leader in the world. Could you tell us why you think he is?
Inspired by @Spin, a haiku as well…
Michelle, cherie belle,
Your hair is pointing to me,
Can we meet tonight?
Wow, I would imagine that when FLOTUS has a bad hair day, heads roll. Maybe she IS going for the Woody Woodpecker look. Better that than the Woody Harrelson look.
@Jazz, @ifly, nicely played.
@crowgirl: so glad you mentioned the eyelashes. Is that now world-leader-lady protocol? Do any leader dudes follow suit? Don’t know why I feel an uneasiness: used to wear ‘em myself in my teens….
Mr.Pilot, that was hilarious!!
Though, I agree with CG, it is pretty windy out here… so, I wouldnt really go over this with a fine toothcomb…
The idea of glueing stuff to my eyes scares me.
@ifly: Just watched There’s Something About Mary yesterday, and “there’s something about michelle” comment above is realllly well put. Great thought!
FYI, it’s been five days and Lamar hasn’t been heard from since…
