Gettin’ Down To Bidness with Katie Couric’s Hair

When it comes to Katie Couric’s appearance, I usually ignore my wife’s comments – they seem too catty, like “Oh, she’s had her eyes done,” or “Botox!” But, I had to take note the other day when she exclaimed, “Oh, so cute!”

She, of course, was referring to Katie’s new hairdo (photo: before left, after right). I glanced at the screen and had to concur that Katie was looking exceptionally cute with the new short arrangement of her locks. Here are some other thoughts on this critical matter.

Greg Pollowitz of National Review online commented, “Kind of makes her look like Gov. Palin, no?”

Amy Diluna, NY Daily News fashion editor, remarked, “The coif, a boyish pixie cut that channeled some of Hillary Clinton's bad 'do days…”

TopSocialite.com similarly noted, “she looked like a mix between Katie Holmes and Hilary Clinton.”

Bricks and Stones referred to it as “A new unflattering haircut.”

Samantha Chang of TheImproper.com called the do “an unflattering pixie haircut.”

Now, I know a lot of people don’t think Katie Couric’s hair is a critical issue at this particular point in history. I wonder what they’d say if Brian Williams shaved his head.
