When Tina Fey returned to Saturday Night Live for her spot-on Sarah Palin impersonation, viewers were treated to a few minutes of comedy glory as the tag team of Fey and Amy Poehler returned to bring this nation out of crisis. Behind the scenes, however, the minions were hard at work all week just to make everything perfect for Fey's costuming. Sure, she already had the bone structure and the glasses that Palin also enjoys, but her hair needed a little tweaking. Enter the wig makers, who spent some 50 hours perfecting Fey's fictional Palin bob. Fey even had her ears pinned (glued?) back so they wouldn't stick out, and with a twine in her voice, she had Palin perfected. In examining the backstage efforts, the Times wonders aloud about the Palin hairdo, which SNL lead hairstylist Bettie Rogers describes as a "French twist with a ’60s bouffant kind of thing, and bangs." So "is there a name for this hairstyle?," asked the Times. "You should ask Palin’s hairdresser,” responded Rogers. Or, you know, just call it what it what every girl who's ever been to the prom knows it to be: an updo.
