Does This Woman Look Professional to You?

BellaSugar — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 16:10:21 PST

When you look at this woman, what do you see? A young Air Force officer, maybe? Someone serving her country in the military? Someone who looks neat, polished, and put together? That's what I see.

But according to Treasured Locks, the military disagrees. This soldier, Kim Andrews, has been in the Air Force for seven years, but her mother says she's being threatened with a dishonorable discharge because of her hairstyle, which involves twisting her hair into cornrows, a style that's allowed in the Air Force. Dreadlocks aren't allowed, and apparently Kim's commander thinks they're dreadlocks. Here's an excerpt from the military code:

Braids, micro-braids, and cornrows are authorized. However, must be solid color similar to the individual’s hair color; conservative and not present a faddish appearance, be worn in an extreme or fad style, or violate safety requirements.

I've looked at a gallery of Kim's hairstyle, and I don't see any evidence of an "extreme or fad style." In every instance it looks natural, practical, and professional. Afrobella puts it best when she asks, "Don’t we need professionally-trained military officials now, more than ever? Why would anyone give sisters in the military grief over their hair?" Good question. What do you think?

Lindsay Miller — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:02:15 PDT

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries headed out for dinner at STK in NYC last night after Kim swung by the Huffington Post's Game Changers Awards at Skylight SoHo. Kim was there to pick up an honor for her business savvy during the annual event. Other honorees at the ceremony, who were recognized for their own achievements in other categories, included Dr. Oz and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Kim chose a curve-hugging red gown for the show, but swapped it for a more casual dress and thigh-high boots for her date night with her husband. Kim and Kris's wedding special just aired last week, but the couple is already coming up on their two-month anniversary tomorrow. Although some recent reports have hinted that the pair's marriage is on the skids, the duo shared a few laughs and looked to be in a lighthearted mood during their evening out.
