The horror! Hillary Clinton wears scrunchies! Photo courtesy of APToday Secretary of State and former first lady Hillary Clinton met with Peruvian Prime Minister Salomon Lerner in Washington D.C. to discuss relations between our countries. But some blogs, have chosen to blast Clinton for wearing an outdated hair accessory. Gasp! A scrunchie!
Scrunchies have had a recent resurgence thanks to American Apparel, but ever since Carrie Bradshaw mocked the hair elastic on "Sex and the City" most women have run from the stretchy fabric-covered elastics in fear.
Personally, we see no big deal here and think the Secretary of State has far more pressing issues than her choice of hair accessory. This is no velvet floral scrunchie from the '90s, this is tame. And to be honest, we've been known to rock a scrunchie around the house from time to time-hey, they don't leave a hair dent!
Do you still use scrunchies? In public? OK, we're moving on now.
