Rep. Herseth: ‘From bookworm to bombshell’

From the moment she arrived on Capitol Hill, Rep. Stephanie Herseth (D-S.D.) turned heads, but in the past two weeks she has gone from a first lady Laura Bush librarian type to a glam Hollywood starlet with reddish blond highlights and choppy layers that frame her face.

“You can’t even recognize her,” a Capitol employee noted.

Uh oh. Does this mean she’s going to pull a Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) and go unrecognized by Capitol Police? Well, not really. But the employee explained, “She has a new look. I think it’s a great change, from bookworm to bombshell.”
