Stuff I Don’t Need to See: Hillary Clinton in a Scrunchie?

July 1, 2011 By Shelley Zurek

Do Secretary of States and Former First Ladies wear Hair Scrunchies?

HILLARY-CLINTON-SCRUNCHIE2

 

Hilary Clinton Scrunchie

I am not a huge fan of Secretary of State and Former First Lady, Hillary Clinton.  However, in this particular picture, I think she looks quite pretty!

BUT WHAT DOES SHE HAVE IN HER HAIR???  WHAT???

A White Hair Scrunchie?  EWWWWW!!!

Are we living in the 80’s?

HILLARY-CLINTON-SCRUNCHIE

DO YOU STILL WEAR SCRUNCHIES? AM I THE LAST HOLD OUT? SHOULD ANY WOMAN OVER 45 BE WEARING Hillary Clinton SCRUNCHIES?

Can you tell that I am aghast? NOW SMACK THAT “Stumble Upon” or “Facebook Like” button.

Blog Update: 11-30-2015  I wrote the article before I abandoned the concept of “fashion shaming”.  Who knew Hillary would actually be ahead of her time, bringing back a fashion trend?

    This makes her look younger and prettier. I prefer her to wear a scrunchie than her usual mannish look anyday! 🙂

      It’s amazing how everyone has an opinion on scrunchies. I am shocked their is such passion of both sides! The Chief Blonde

    I still wear scrunchies, but only in the privacy of my own home, usually to bed. There more comfy! ^.^

    I only wear scrunchies when I’m at home. By the way, I like her suit and she’s pretty even she has scrunchies in her hair. 🙂

      I agree she looks pretty, but I think the do is a bad choice! The Chief Blonde

    Ok…nobody told me scrunchies went out of style. I have one in right now. I will admit…I don’t wear them if I’m dressed nice.

      Stacy–you are cracking me up! The Chief Blonde!

    I wear scrunchies all the time! They’re better for your hair than regular ponytail holders and many other accessories to pull your hair back. I won’t wear the really big fluffy kind, but I do wear the smaller, less obtrusive kind a lot, especially to hold a messy bun. I honestly don’t get what the big deal is. I wouldn’t wear it when I’m dressed up, and won’t wear them to work (though I do keep one in my bag…just in case!), so I do agree that it doesn’t work on Hillary Clinton. But wow…who wrote these rules and where are they posted?!

    • stillblondeafteralltheseyears says

      July 4, 2011 at 6:58 am

      Heather–No rules, just the passing of time. Read the comments! A lot of people are in your camp. I had no idea that the scrunchie could create such debate. Lots of fun. THanks so much for your comments! The chief Blonde!

    I definitely do not think a scrunchy should be in the possession of a SOS, period. Come on, folks. She’s a millionaire. This is silliness. When I worked at a prosecutor’s office, it would have been completely inappropriate for one of the prosecutors to wear a scrunchy. When you’re working out, sure. In the shower, or going to bed, OK. When you’re representing the US? Yeah, don’t think so. It also doesn’t go with a $1,000 suit. Sheesh.

      HAHHAHAHAHA Kristin! The CHief Blonde

    I’m not sure I ever wore a scrunchy in public. I used to stick my hair in one while exercising but honestly to go out in public? No.

    July 2, 2011 at 10:15 pm

    LOL! Needed a good laugh tonite! My 19 year old daughter doesn’t even wear scrunchies anymore. Maybe when she doesn’t want to get her hair wet in the shower, but never in public. Wait…maybe Hillary came straight from her (or his) shower. NOT nice, sorry!

    Have a great weekend!

    I still wear scrunchies! I wear what I like, not what every body else does 🙂

    • stillblondeafteralltheseyears says

      July 2, 2011 at 11:14 pm

      And we won’t stop ya! THanks for weighing in on the scrunchie issue! THe CHief BLonde

  10. Rachel C says

    Yes, there’s a difference between clear ponytail holders and scrunchies. Scrunchies should not even exist anymore.

  11. Sara says

    July 2, 2011 at 7:28 pm

    They make these wonderful things called ponytail holders. They sell them at Target and they’re rather cheap.

    Scrunchies are for when you’re dressed like a slob. Not when you’re wearing nice clothes.

    • stillblondeafteralltheseyears says

      July 2, 2011 at 9:14 pm

      HAHAHA Sara, Scrunchies are for the 90s period. I definitely agree with you. THe Chief BLonde

  12. April Decheine says

    July 2, 2011 at 9:16 am

    OMG No Do Not Where Scrunchies when you are out of your teens and for sure not in your 40’s! Hilary pick up Glamour or In Style Magazine and update that look 🙂 She does look quite natural though!

  13. Christina UK says

    July 2, 2011 at 3:18 am

    …Who exactly was it that decided older women should be limited in their clothing ,hair etc?
    My own inner modesty allows me to decide for myself…I know if I’m trying to be mutton dressed as lamb, don’t you feel Hilary does too? It’s a hair scrunchy for goodness sake!

    • stillblondeafteralltheseyears says

      July 2, 2011 at 10:27 am

      Teehee..you are right there. No a big defense issue is it?

  14. Kitty says

    July 2, 2011 at 12:57 am

    I don’t think anyone with an age that starts with “2” should be wearing scrunchies when dressed up. I wear them to the gym (If I have nothing else) but I don’t even wear them to the hospital where I do have to wear my hair up. I pin it up, who wants their nurse to look like she is trying to be 12. It’s just not a professional look and TOTALLY throws off a surprisingly nice outfit. Hilary is usually a fashion “don’t” with outfits, this time it was the hair

    • stillblondeafteralltheseyears says

      July 2, 2011 at 10:28 am

      Kitty, I agree on Hillary usually being a fashion don’t! I like her outfit here and she just ruined it! The Chief Blonde

  15. 1 Funky Woman says

    July 2, 2011 at 12:30 am

    Oh no she didn’t! Ha for some reason this reminds me of the Sex and the City episode about the scrunchie. Carrie got mad at Burger for saying that New Yorkers wear scrunchies. She said true New Yorkers don’t!

    Now isn’t Mrs. Clinton living in New York? But oh, she isn’t a true New Yorker!

    She has always had wardrobe issues!

    my mom still wears scrunchies I try to tell her but she doesnt listen lol

  17. Maureen says

    July 1, 2011 at 10:43 pm

    I do wear one when I work out and need to put my hair up.

    • stillblondeafteralltheseyears says

      July 2, 2011 at 10:30 am

      Maureen, Now everytime you wear one you can think of Hillary! Teehee! The Chief Blonde

  18. Linda Kish says

    July 1, 2011 at 10:25 pm

    She does look pretty. I wear scrunchies but usually just to put my hair on top of my head when I sleep. But what am I supposed to use for my far too long hair at my advanced age? I usually have a ponytail which is really not age-appropriate for me. But, I am not ready to go with short hair either. I will cut it once it is long enough to donate again. My DIL asked if I will get an old lady perm…

    • stillblondeafteralltheseyears says

      July 2, 2011 at 10:32 am

      I don’t think there is an age to stop wearing long hair (if styled appropriately) but scrunchies….maybe? The CHief Blonde!

  19. anne hill says

    July 1, 2011 at 10:16 pm

    it looks like they do wear scrunchies! who knew? i like her blouse. she looks pretty – more so than in her usual navy blue pant suit.

    • stillblondeafteralltheseyears says

      July 2, 2011 at 10:33 am

      Hi Anne, I do like the pantsuit too…and I usually hate all her clothes but that scrunchie just ruins it for me! The CHief Blonde!
