No I don't see a lot of rat tails anymore.. Gross!! But I see a ton of emo tight pants boys walking around.

(made in China) We took it all with us since you can't find quality products anymore.

Personally, I don't think it has anything to do with where it was made...but more of a response to what our market is demanding. I think everyone wants the bigger, better, smaller, faster, newest thing and I don't think (most) people care that much about something lasting forever...they just want it to be new and grand. I remember my first computer lasted me without any issues (except viruses of course) for approximately 6 years? Nowadays I can get two years out of a laptop if I'm lucky

That sounds like fun...I can't wait until I have my own home so that I can enjoy shopping for antiques.

Has anyone brought up the feather trend?
I got a feather in my hair hair two months ago... it's still in. I didn't see too many people in my town with them, so of course me being a weirdo=me thinking i'm cool!

BUT my husbands boss had a pigroast and some of his grand daughters showed up... all three had feathers... so there's four of us sitting around the fire with feathers in our hair. needless to say I took mine out right away lol!

Is this a big trend that's coming back/instyle too!? If so I'm sad and hope it doesn't last long, I like being different sometimes!

southernbelle04 · 08-29-2011, 05:52 PM

Whoa! I hope that isn't the newest fad! LOL. I hated those things back in the day!

Valenie · 08-29-2011, 05:54 PM

I read about this trend several months ago. Feathers for Dogs and Pets

To be fair, we are in the middle of a Technical Revolution.

It wouldn't make a lot of sense to build a laptop to last forever when they become obsolete almost before they are purchased! Sink technology is a lot more stable, though you never know, I guess.

I'm a little uneasy when people start putting human trends on their pets. I don't mind the dressing up part (obviously) but when I see a dog with 3 piercings in one ear I feel sad.

I think the feathers are just attached to their hair, like they do it with humans. I agree with you piercings as they can be dangerous for dogs, and it hurts if they are torn out (speaking as a mother, who had her son rip out her earring.) I just hope the nose ring never catches on with dogs.

That's true...never thought of it like that!

This is my boy with the hairdo that's in style over in my area. Their allowed to have any style as long as they have to cut it when I say so. I do take lots of pics to show them when their older

Toms are very popular in private colleges over here. Not so much in community colleges.

Duck or rat tails, ummm I will really have to think about those

Nowaday's mohawks, look below.

canadian_pup · 08-30-2011, 12:08 PM

Look I totally saw the feathers in dog hair, and that's when I decided to put one in my own lol! You can do it yourself buy a bag of saddleback feathers, some tiny crimp beads and needle nose pliers lol!

Now salons are charging 10-40 a feather! A bag of 40 feathers only cost about 10-20 bucks! Sheesh, anything for a buck I guess.
