Regina Benjamin

Now that Regina Benjamin has been confirmed as Surgeon General, I thought we should revisit the day President Obama announced her nomination. It was July, so we're a little off on the seasons, but mostly, I want us to look at her hair:



(skip to minute 10 for Dr. Benjamin's remarks)

Dr. Benjamin would be much better served with a side part in her bangs instead of a center part. With the part in middle, the shape of her hair echoes the shape of her lapel, which isn't really very flattering.

I do like the way her suit fits, with the top button just under the bust - any lower and the lapels would likely gape open, any higher and she might have a gap between buttons. This is an important feature for a woman with a larger bust.
