It’s totally un-feminine. [Skrillex](http://owsla51.com/wiki/images/b/bf/Skrillex_is_Skrillex.jpeg) for those of you like me who don’t know who Skrillex is. The boys around here really, really seem to like [the old school Bieber.](http://media1.santabanta.com/full1/Global%20Celebrities(M)/Justin%20Bieber/justin-bieber-5a.jpg) It’s funny to watch them flipping their hair around and patting it carefully into place. ---

You know, I did a [Google search on top knot hairstyle](http://www.google.ca/search?q=modern+hairdos&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=k5WiUp-eI8vXoASImYLQAQ&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1042&bih=600#q=top+knot+hairstyle&rls=en&tbm=isch), and you’re right. They vary from “silly” to “really silly.” ---

Not that we had cool hair back in the late 80s/early 90s, but we would have NEVER been caught dead in something so effeminate as Bieber’s do. ---

The Bettie Page do with the short bangs is hideous. It makes women look mentally disabled. IMHO bangs of any sort are generally a bad idea. ---
