Apparently, rat-tails are still cool
I went to the Gap outlet today to buy little huddy a birthday gift. The family in front of me in line had two boys with large, bushy rat-tails-- they were more like squirrel-tails actually. I remember when I was that age (elementary school) I thought rattails were how the kinda cool, kinda rough bad boys wore their hair. My mom thought they were just trashy. Until today, I thought the rat-tail craze was an anomoly of where I was living at the time (Orlando in the '80s). Breaking news: rat-tails are still in fashion in pockets of rural Virginia.

Also, one of the little boys at camp last summer had one and was soundly mocked by all. After awhile he just wanted it gone...I think it may still be an integral part of the mullet culture that still persists down here. But in the 80's the same type of boys had those where I lived too, and upstate NY is pretty far away from Orlando. I think it was just the 80's...
