Jo Jo bows

Tacky/chavvy/cute?

Can't decide whether to get one for my three year old dd

I think they’re pretty hideous but my 9yo thinks everything I wear is pretty hideous too so we’re equal My two dds have a bow each but have never worn them. Not sure why, I haven’t stopped them.

Tacky and cute ! Big for a 3 year olds head though haha . If she wants one go for it though . Only kids once aren't they x

Omg Margaret you have just made me feel like such a good kind person thank you ! You are absolutely vile . It's upsetting to read your malicious comments . They are young children following a trend . Poor you for being so so harsh and mean .

Just for fun ....

Out of school - fine

In school - no -

My daughter got a rotten bit of bullying because she hadn't got the real Jo Jo logo in her bow.

I told my daughter £15 for a bow is stupid and Jo Jo gets that money and I prefer it in our account she is 8 and not sure we will get away with that argument ever again

Tacky! My sister has loads and I keep saying there are hundreds of other types of headbands and bows out there that are much nicer and cheaper!

We wore scrunchies in the 90s. And banana clips. And perms when were about 10 (which turned to frizz in weeks). And decorated hairbands. And mid 90s was pigtails with fake flowers in them or those hair springs like a lot of female celebs aimed at teens were wearing at the time. And coming back from hols with a wool hair wrap and the front of our heads in canerows. Then we we started going to clubs it was hair mascara, UV gel and glitter everywhere.

Which means I don't get the controversy over JoJo bows. Yes they look silly. As described above, so did our hair. Most children given completely free rein to design or buy an outfit and accessories for themselves wouldn't emerge looking subtle and tasteful.

As well, the bows are quite sweet because they aren't too grown-up too soon like many kiddy trends. Quite the opposite, a hair bow is quite a childlike look.

I love them they remind me of Madonna's big bows!

A lot of the girls at dds school have them

She , the dd that is, will not wear them - she shudders when she sees them. But thinks nothing of painting her toenails alternate ridiculous colours fucking hypocrite

I must be a terrible chavvy mother... my daughters requested them (lulu, Jojo's nasty cheap alternative) and my mother happily obliged. I thought they looked hideous but then I say Jojo siwa on this morning and showed my girls her videos on YouTube! I've created monsters

I remember as a child in the 80s bows being fashionable on hairslides and on shoes. I had a couple of quite big bows and some smaller ones. I loved them. Looking back I probably looked a bit tacky but I think part of being a young girl is experimenting with trends. Most of us have a fashion phase from our past which we look at now and cringe at

I thought Jojo Siwa on This Morning was very sweet, and showed her support for their anti bullying campaign.
I expect she'll soon outgrow the bows herself and the fashion will die away, as they do.

They are very uglifying on an otherwise non hideous child, imo.

I will also admit to a smidge of judginess against a parent that plonks them on the heads of their little darlings.

My narrow minded opinion was hideously reinforced 2 weeks ago when I had the misfortune of sharing a long haul flight with the most feckless, moronic family I have ever encountered. 3 little girls, all bedecked with said gruesome bows, ignored by parents and grandparents - allowed to run amok for 9 fucking hours whilst the poor cabin crew tried to coral them into some sort of order. Obv the ugly bows are incidental, but we will remember them for all eternity.

Well Buzz, out of a strong field I think you have just won the competition to see who could write the most unpleasant, snobbish, sanctimonious and as you say yourself, narrow - minded , post. And so smug too. Honestly , take a look at yourself.

She's 14 (Jojo that is) so I'm sure she'll let go of the fashion herself sometime soon-ish.

Or maybe not given the money she makes from it :) Which, more power to her!

YY cheerful . And so it starts. .. so young shouldn't we just give them the confidence to wear whatever, especially something as un threatening as a bow?
I,ve RTFT now, some fucking awful comments

Sometimes children just want to fit in and have the same as their mates and there's fuck all wrong with that.

I refuse to dictate entirely what my child wears on the basis it's "tacky chavvy or cheap". She has years of judgement and self loathing (if she chooses to give a shit) ahead.

Totally Chav y

Anyone who looks at a little girl and thinks she's chavvy is an arse

This.

I would LOVE to wear little cat ears. But yes, am a similar age so if I wore them in public I may find myself approached by a kindly policeman, enquiring if I felt OK.

JoJo bows aren't ugly. Class snobbery is. Oh and BTW no child is "hideous." Only thing hideous on here is your attitude.

To the poster that seems to think these bows will mean a girl gets pg before her gcse I think that's ridiculous ...I'm sure these are the same type of bows popular in the old vectorial photographs or something very similar. I personally don't like them but I'm from a generation of wedged shoes boy city roller outfits and those baskets we used o carry our books in with the plastic cover to stop ya books getting wet

Tacky as heck but they're lovable

Ridiculous to say a girl will get pregnant before her GCSEs if she wears a bow in her hair. We live in a country with access to contraception and kids are way more streetwise about sex than they used to be. We aren't living in the 1950s anymore!

What's tacky about them is a child marketing to children. Sure, both JoJo and the kids who wear her bows (and imitations of it) probably don't see beyond the supposed prettiness of the bows. But behind it all are adults making money off of adults. Via the children. That's what's ghastly about them. And yes I do think this about most fashions which are aimed solely at children. Getting at people via their kids is so so tacky and cheap. Ghastly.

(I also don't think that such young girls should care so much about what they look like, but I'm well aware I'm on a hiding to nothing with that one.)

No I agree.

I agree too
