made in chelsea/towie has much to answer for, such as the emasculation of modern man.
as for women with a birds nest on their head, i recall watching a documentary about the excavation of a bog-body [neolithic corpse or somesuch] that concluded that his hairstyle [done in a similar fashion] was as a form of compensation for his shortness. and i feel this theory may apply too as i have yet to see a tall woman adopt this style.
bring back the 40's combover and waistcoast fashion!
