Is it even irrational?! Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with a hair accessory in general. But a) these are just so... big and b) seems most people don't have a clue how to wear them. I've seen the odd one worn so, while not to my taste, it looks vaguely 'right' but in the most part kids seem to do whatever they would normally do with their hair then just slap it on top of their head as though there's no correlation between hairstyle and bow. Basically it's like they are wearing helicopter blades. Just...odd. Prejudice not helped by fact took DD to theatre yesterday and her view was completely obscured by the ginormous helicopter bow plonked on top of the head of the kid in front. (Appreciate in the great scheme of things this is not something to waste energy on but friend and I were musing on way back from theatre and, if DD's friends are anything to go by, they seem to be very marmite. Love or hate?)

They are very working class maybe due to the audience demographic for dance moms whereas fergie bows were universal.
Over sized hair accessories are banned from year 5 at our school but younger ones have more relaxed uniform rules.

I hate them too. It reminds me of when peoole put big bows on babies (hate that too) im not against hair bows. I use them on my little girl but make sure they are in proportion.
