The White House unveiled the official portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama Wednesday for her husband's second term, and in the words of the New York Daily News, it seems "the bangs are now official."

Though she earlier joked that she got the new hairstyle as a "mid-life crisis," now all of posterity will remember Michelle Obama with bangs.

When people ask First Lady Michelle Obama to describe herself, she doesn't hesitate to say that first and foremost, she is Malia and Sasha's mom.

But before she was a mother -- or a wife, lawyer or public servant -- she was Fraser and Marian Robinson's daughter.

The Robinsons lived in a brick bungalow on the South Side of Chicago. Fraser was a pump operator for the Chicago Water Department, and despite being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at a young age, he hardly ever missed a day of work. Marian stayed home to raise Michelle and her older brother Craig, skillfully managing a busy household filled with love, laughter, and important life lessons.
