Mel, not realizing I was in Festival, I left this on last thread in reply to your post #1457 “The left thinks a 16 year old who is being used to influence our public policies can’t be criticized.”

Maybe Globull warming a88holes are trolling Q+Army with pigtails?

excerpts

Pigtail- The term may refer to a single braid, but is more frequently used in the plural to refer to twin braids on opposite sides of the head.

From the later 17th century through the 19th century, the term came to be applied to any braided (”plaited”, in British parlance) hairstyle. The British army also adopted a single pigtail or “queue” as its standard dress for long hair.

In some regions of China, traditional culture related the wearing of pigtails to a girl’s marital status. A young, unmarried, Chinese girl would often wear two buns, or bundles of hair on either side of the head to display her availability to prospective husbands. This style of pigtails is sometimes referred to as “ox horns.” However, when this girl would marry, the two pigtails, or buns, would be replaced with just one, thus indicating her marriage. The Manchu and later Qing dynasty men’s coiffe called the “queue” is sometimes described incorrectly as a pigtail.

The queue or cue is a hairstyle worn by the Jurchen and Manchu people of Manchuria, and later required to be worn by male subjects of Qing dynasty China. Hair on top of the scalp is grown long and is often braided, while the front portion of the head is shaved.

The requirement that Han Chinese men and others under Manchu rule give up their traditional hairstyles and wear the queue was met with resistance, although opinions about the queue did change over time. Han women, however, were never required to wear their hair in the traditional women’s Manchu style, Liangbatou, although this, too, like the queue, was a symbol of Manchu identity
