Any thoughts on the Farrah 'do now that she is gone? I personally LOVED it and can't get enough of it. I do my hair in an updated version of this almost weekly because I think its so great!

The style was fashionable 2-4 years ago with those who could bother to style their hair like that.  My mom's had variations on it though generally shorter and a little tighter because her face is long and her hair was quite heavy in her youth so it needed to be set tightly or the style would fall out.  I've seen photos of her with her hair flicked both out and under with the same cut and both really suited her.
