Emma as you will see by her riding Rory has long hair with a fringe that looks terrible. Nothing anyone says would make her get it cut but this morning I was showing her the photo's we took this week and behold she did not like what she saw. next thing she comes through, hair brushed and tied back. Much smarter. Maybe one day the fridge will go and we will see her bony eyes.

Is it a long, on one side fringe?
My 11 year old has one too ....... afraid that's the fashion.
My girl has really thick long hair to go with it .... just looks like a mop. Did point out some pop stars with good square cut fringes last week, thought that might do the trick .... but ... unimpressed.

I'm reading that as 'one day the fringe will go and we will see her bonnie eyes.'
Otherwise it would be something completely different.

Quite right Moleskins, I meant bonnie eyes. may be the fashion but how she manages to see I have no idea.

Got to love 'em at that age     I think I put my parents through hell looking back - this is just karma and I bet my mum and dad have a quiet laugh as I suffer!!

In the sixties we all had fringes that came down to our eyes and practically got tangled with our eye lashes.  It was due to copying Cathy McGowan who was on the panel of a pop show (can't remember what it was called now) and was famous for saying, "Oil give it foive."

Our headmistress told us that having such long fringes would make our eye brows fall out and they would never grow again.  She said, "You may think that when you are grown up you'll pluck your eyebrows anyway but it might not be the fashion by then."  What she didn't realise was that we all plucked our eyebrows already and I remember thinking how much easier it would be if they fell out and I just had to paint thin ones in.

It didn't work.  I still have bushy eyebrows.  I just don't bother to pluck them now.

Wasn't it Ready Steady Go?  And they voted on whether new releases would be a Hit or a Miss?  Foive was the top score.

[Bionic]

Yep, definitely Ready Steady Go

Yes, I suddenly remembered Ready, Steady, go as I was reading these posts.  I loved it and had the fringe.

being a hairdresser for over 20 years im constantly saying Anna brush your hair!
But like the saying "cobblers kids" they are always last to get a haircut! Lucy even took the clippers over her dads hair, he was so desparate!

Are you now Beyond the Fringe?

our son use to walk in the living room say hi or mutter something then brush his fringe out of his eye. We would say oh curtains open now he would sulk and go back to his room. Kids who would have them. But we love them
