Pigtail braids were never serious. I tried to make them be.

Using a pigtail, the brewer is pouring a sample of fruit beer from a 'bright' tank. Without the long length (and restriction) of the coil, the sample would pour as foam.

▶ "Bright tank: a dish-bottomed pressure-rated temperature-controlled tank used to hold beer in preparation for packaging. The term "bright" refers to "bright beer," beer that has been rendered bright (clear) by filtration, centrifugation, fining, and/or maturation. [...] As many craft beers are not filtered or clarified, the beer sent into the bright tank may not be bright at all."

She hardly ever wants her hair up, but after I did it for a "Me Here, Me Now" she wanted to keep it like that all day.

It's a fuzzy picture, but the pigtails needed to be uploaded

In June 2007 we finally got fed up with Eliza's ton of hair (it was always getting in her eyes and making it difficult to play) so we broke down and started putting in the effort to put pigtails in.

We've found endless amusement in what her hair will do - this time right out of the bath after "The Lipstick Incident" (doesn't she clean up well?). We twisted the pigtails so that at first they stood up and looked an awful lot like unicorn horns (well, that is, if unicorns weren't *uni* corns). Then they drooped sadly. But we still got a good chuckle out of it.

i finally got my bra (!) and hoodie back from Alice today :o)))

at long last!

and?

i wore my massive dungarooos

and it was thoroughly amusing :o)

i'm going to end up living in this hoodie!

This is what happens when idle hands meet a longish beard and a little experience at braiding ...

The braids are staying in place without my having to wrap the ends.

First day at school

Being silly with pigtail ribbons

Amailah, Jamie and Meg all do pigtails for a day. Here are mine of Amailah's (before Jamie and Meg were wearing theirs. First, Gym!)

Happy Jamie, happy the Bean!

i always feel a bit cheeky when i wear my hair in pigtails, they're so long now =) i like to braid them too! i always giggle cos my sister says "a grown woman DOESN'T wear pigtails!!!" which is nice cos now i always think of her when i do it hehehe

this little beauty glanced back to see just what I was up too in the tall grass when I snapped this shot. she made me work for each shot too but in the end I was able to get what her mom and dad were hoping for...

Bit of Whimsy pattern
