OPEN POST: For the Love of Bangs and Then There's Mamie

Many have tried, and many have failed, to bang correctly. No, you filthy strumpet, I mean bangs, as in the hairstyle. It is a bold choice because growing them out takes enormous fortitude and a fuck load of strength. There is one woman, however, a doyenne, a goddess, a devotee of bangs, and that is Mamie Doud, aka Madame Eisenhower. 

Oh, this bangs angel found her luxuriant bang style, and she was not giving them up. Age be damned. Baby bangs 4'ever! That was her mantra, her manifesto, her battle cry. These bangs were a comfort through good times and bad; when life's highs and lows took Mamie asunder, a quick check, and she could calm herself with the knowledge that they were still there and carefully shellacked with a slight curl to her high, very high on her forehead. 

Let's take a stroll down Bang Avenue with a few examples of the ones that tried to be Mamie, but no, they can't pull off a baby bang, not like our Mamie. 

Nice try, Courtney, enchanting even, but you are no Mamie.

Jean Brooks looking like bangs are her life force, but is she
committed to the bang, or is this just for a movie? I say, Mamie, 
she is not. 

No, m'lady, but I think Mamie would appreciate the effort.

Some extra Mamie with her squeeze Dwight on her wedding day and Mamie working the hell out of the ruffle collar. All this pre-bang, but you can just tell one day, she will become a legend.
