I don’t think I’ve ever seen a man in pigtails. Well, I have, but only in wrestling and on _Oz_. Is this a common practice that I’ve just completely missed?

I couldn’t even take a woman in pigtails seriously. Pony tails, sure, but pig tails? Those are for 4 year olds. Just MHO.

Why do some women like to wear their hair short? Why do some people like to be bald? Who cares? People do what they want, and almost guaranteed, someone else out there is attracted to it.

Biker guys frequently wear pigtails. Usually with a leather covering or leather braided through it. Makes for less comb-out trauma when you’re no longer riding.

Ardred had long hair when we met, but two years later he cut it (it was getting really icky, dry and split).

I adored his long hair. I’d run my hands through it, I loved the way it cascaded over my face when we… ahem. Sorry. 😃

I love his shorter hair too, don’t get me wrong, but I miss that ponytail.

Add a bandana of some sort and some chaps over jeans and meooow. Sexay.

I find that very funny, because I can’t stand John Cusack. 🙂

I never even noticed he looked anything like him before…
