It's a big week for America's First Lady.

Not to take anything away from President Barack Obama's second term inauguration Monday but Michelle Obama is celebrating her 49th birthday Thursday, opened a second Twitter account (@FLOTUS which is Washington shorthand for "first lady of the United States) on which she debuted her new haircut sporting bangs. She is also getting ready for all the inaugural festivities, reports usmagazine.com.

In the Twit pic, Mrs. Obama is seen talking to Inaugural citizen co-chair David Hall about the National Day of Service Saturday which asks people to volunteer in their communities in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the US Weekly website reported Thursday.

She also talked to the magazine about the importance of giving back and paying it forward.

"My parents taught me from an early age that all of us can find time to give back," Mrs. Obama told the website.

"And throughout my life, whenever I've volunteered, I leave feeling like I'm getting as much as I'm giving."

The presidential inauguration consists of a week of events including the swearing-in ceremony (a small private one on Sunday and a public ceremony at 10:30 a.m. Monday), inaugural address, inaugural parade and numerous balls and galas honoring the newly re-elected president of the United States.

Most major television networks and cable channels plan to cover the festivities all day.

49? No way. Looking very cute for 49.

FLOTUS is cute with bangs. I like the new look. Hubby might need to look into a little Grecian Formula.

Undecided on whether or not I like the bangs. But I have never been undecided on Michelle Obama. I find her very relate-able as a woman, particularly as a wife and mother of daughters.

Bash away, HSM, QYW and others. But I'm proud to call her a role model.

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
