Jo jo bows.....

I do remember when my DD was at school and I used to buy long lengths of ribbon and tie a huge bow around her pony tail..... not that different to a Jo jo bow really.....?

I think it's more to do with school uniform rules, Grannyknot...

Gosh, what century are we in? The one where the older generation disapproves of a teenage craze.

Sorry, I don't see the problem - but everyone is entitled to their own opinion ?

I must be turning into a very 'laid-back' Grandma ...?

Agree Ana. Fun but not for school. Almost as big as a hat and I doubt they would allow the boys to wear a cap at school.

Ana I had no clue what a deely-bopper was, I do now

If jewellery, makeup and dyed hair can be banned in schools why can't these bows? If they all turned up in deely-boppers would that be OK?

TBH I think the more fuss that parents and teachers make about these unimportant things, the more important they become and the more the girls will want them.

Yes, they are fun, but not suitable for school IMO.

Yes, it was "Just William."

Maybe just a bit of fun, but if you go for the branded ones, (which will happen, in that home made/high street store ones will not do, got to have the label) then a very expensive bit of fun.

They are just a bit of fun - one of my DDs would have loved them when she was small.

I don't like them either. Remind me of Violet Elizabeth Bott, though I can't remember where she came from. "Just William" maybe?

Sorry but I think they are awful, an American friend used to send me pictures when her granddaughters were small and every picture they wore those awful bows in their hair even when they were near 10/11 yrs old.
