LOL! Heck, those weren't bangs - they were living sculpture!

I vote no on full bangs, but the side swept bangs are cute. A few of my sisters recently did this and I like it.. only thing is it might be a pain when you get sick of them and want to grow them out, but not nearly as bad as with full bangs. I will never put myself through that again. I absolutely can't stand the "in between" stage, so I highly doubt that I will ever have bangs again.
I'm kinda anti-bangs. I once let my big sister cut them (not a good idea, I was 8, she was 13) and it didn't end well and resulted in my mom screaming at us and me having to go get them cut due to them angleling up and then leveling off. I sorta had them in college but that was due to a bad hair-straigtening job (where a larege chunk of my hair broke off) and me having to have a short haircut as a result. They were the push off to the side kind.
I think that some people look great with bangs. I ha them my enite life until about years ago. I think that my change was mostly due to laziness. I hate having to fuss with my hair and bangs seem to require that. I have super long hair and even though my old bangs aren't as long as the rest of my hair, you would never know.
I grew mine out years ago (that hair is not touching my shoulder.
I like them, but I kept burning my forehead with the curling iron (OUCH!) whenever I tried to curl them.
I can still wear the "swipe across teh forehead like bangs" look, I just have to pin/clip the hair behind my era (and let the rest of my hair hang loose over it).
I've read that bangs accentuate the eyes though.
