ESSENCE Poll: What Will You Do for Your 'Midlife' Crisis?

We can all agree that First Lady Michelle Obama is one of the most fabulous 49-year-olds we’ve ever encountered. And yet our Commander-in-Chic says she recently lived out a midlife crisis and needed a change in her life. So what did she do? Chopped her hair.

In an interview with Rachael Ray airing tomorrow, Mrs. Obama says, “This is my mid-life crisis, the bangs. I couldn’t get a sports car. They won’t let me bungee jump. So instead, I cut my bangs.”

Luckily, President Obama loves them. “To address the most significant event of the weekend, I love her bangs,” he said at an inauguration event in January. “She looks good. She always looks good.”

Maybe you also feel the need for a drastic change in your life. Will you, like Mrs. Obama, get an attention-grabbing new ‘do, or do something more dramatic, like buy an expensive sports car? Take our poll and tell us your plans in the comments section.
