Double Headed Ponytail

So I had this idea about a ponytail ball, you know that hangs on a ponytail fastener, but a big ball, a really big ball.

Are we talking basketball or beach ball or …

Well the same size as the head, actually. It would be light, inflatable and be formed and colored just like the bearer.

So you mean another head hanging off the back of the ponytail? I’m thinking, “Are you looking at me? Are you looking at ME?”

Sure, no more talking behind my back or reading over my shoulder.

And better in the singles bar, I mean what you see is twice what you get, 720 degree face panorama.

Or it might just be a fun thing to wear…

       yes, excellant if you like isolation. you and your silent partner can stare in peace.   

       favorite line from Mickey Mouse and the Beanstalk.: "Sharing and staring, staring and sharing"

       Convenient for avoiding arguments. "Any questions, please talk to my other head." And you can always get in the carpool lane.

       I am fearful for us all. The sketch scared me, sort of, and then angel's link made me heave. Oh my.

       Don't look now, but I think those twins are checkin' you out, bro.

       This is so creepy that I'm...well I'm just beside myself.   

       Think of the dance moves you could make while swinging your second head around.

       You never cease to amaze me.

       First time I've seen a head described as a hair accessory (even if it's a second one).   

       Somehow I'm thinking this would work better as an earring option (maybe because I'm pony-tail challenged).

       Too creepy. [+]

       I hadn’t thought that far. Just stand behind a fence or wall up to your chin and wobble your heads with glassy-eyed rigid smiles.
FarmerJohn, Mar 01 2005
  

       Thank goodness lewisgirl/sparki isn't reading this - I'm not sure she could handle a hair-accessory idea quite as creepy as this one.

       Hey, I didn't know lewisgirl was sparki. I always thought it was Unabubba.

       It would also come in handy in sports or combat, to confuse the opponent.

       This is probably from where he got "his" idea - see Marina Abramovich original performance piece link.

       //This is probably from where he got "his" idea - see Marina Abramovich original performance piece link.//   

       I don't know about that. I mean, people have the same ideas as each other all the time, never mind similar in some arbitrary sense.
Unless you have evidence placing FarmerJohn in New York in 1977, I'd say the chance he saw that was very slim.
