Do You Like the Rattail?

April 21, 2009

I know everything old is new again, but I've been seeing some things that give me pause. I lived through acid-wash jeans the first time, so I'm perplexed by their resurgence. See also: the rattail. The look has been popping up on hipster heads in my neighborhood lately, and I can't say I welcome the return of this hesher hairstyle. Have you spotted it, too? Are you into it, or not so much?

I rock the rat tail, chicks love it! I get mad complements and lots of love. It also helps that I have a gigantic beard to balance it out.

Rat tails are so BOGAN! Acid washed jeans are awesome though.

Every time I see somebody rockin a genuine rat tail, I think, there's a person who doesn't give a shit about what you think. Awesome.

The 80's revival in fashion has me freaked out a little, and now this? Is there all there is? Where is all the new stuff? Why recycle things that were stupid the first time around?

I saw someone with a ~3" tail, I wanted to just say to him "you missed a chunk in the back". Maybe I will next time.

No, please leave it in the 80s where it belongs. Ugh, we left them there for a reason, people.

i like a ducktail on a greaser type style, but you have to REALLY pull it off. Rattail is a no go

I HATE THIS as well as the reemergence of it's African American counterpart the "ducktail"/"louisville"/"shag" .....references: Kanye West, and Bobby Valentino. Seriously some stuff should stay in the 80's! Oh I also actually saw someone with a ducktail and lines carved into the side of their fade :| GAG!

Noooooo! it was horrible enough the first time 'round! lol I remember staring at the boys sitting in front of me at school and thinking "why the heck do they think it looks good?" XD Now I'm gonna think why the heck do they think it can look better now XDThis trend should die FOREVER!

I had a tail back in 1985/86. I'd very much like to leave it there.

What I find most humorous about voting "scissors please" is I had a tail in high school (early to mid 80s). My dad was always threatening to cut it off in my sleep LOL! I told him as long as I paid for my own hair cuts, he had to leave it alone. What was I *thinking* back then??

surely this is a joke?! might as well have a mullet or a bowl cut! or.... blind fold yourself, cut your own hair and hope for the best! would still probably have better results than this!
