The 49-year-old First Lady of the USA debuted a fresh new fringe for her birthday in November, prompting US President Obama to suggest it was the most significant event of his inauguration weekend. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/feb/Obama.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 640px;" /> Makeover: US First Lady Michelle Obama showed off her new haircut a few days after her birthday. She received a lot of praise for the new style even during Obama&rsquo;s inauguration function. File Pic In an interview, Michelle quipped that her fringe was the only way she could show her feelings about turning 49. &ldquo;This is my mid-life crisis, the bang,&rdquo; she laughed. &ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t get a sports car. They won&rsquo;t let me bungee jump. So instead, I cut my bangs.&rdquo; And unlike many mid-life crises, this one got a big thumbs up from her spouse. &ldquo;I love her bangs!&rdquo; US President Barack Obama said shortly after she cut them on her 49th birthday. &ldquo;She always looks good.&rdquo; Not that she needed her husband&rsquo;s approval, of course; though US President Obama may be the leader of the free world, his wife is strictly the boss of her own hair. &ldquo;I can do this,&rdquo; she said smiling and gesturing to her new cut. &ldquo;This is all mine.&rdquo; u00a0

US First Lady Michelle Obama joked the slight change to her haircut before Christmas that gathered almost as many column inches as her husband's inauguration, was just a sign of her mid-life crisis.
