I went to irish fest last year and was horrified by these little girls in these weird polyester wigs...what is that about? is it commonly done? there were Irish dancers in seattle and i don't remember seeing it..it is so fake looking and must be too costly for many..plus the messsage it sends that your own hair is not good enough..funny, they have wigs to duplicate the hair i had as a kid..but some of these kids are of chinese or nigerian origin and they put the wigs on them too...i found it really creepy..do they do that in ireland? other parts of US? with all the messages they are trying to give young girls these days..then saying you have to spend money to look ridiculous and flammable besides and your own hair is not good enough so put this on....weird..it is reminiscent of those toddler pageants....mg
