On another note, The Wifey also has a mohawk -- a very short one, around an inch long, with the surrounding hair only cut short, not shaved to the scalp. According to Wikipedia, the non-shaved mohawk is called a fauxhawk, but it's a readily recognizeable mohawk nonetheless.
Is this a trend in women's fashion? I can see the lead-in now: Women from their twenties to their forties are embracing the ancient hairstyle: The Mohawk! Grandmas, accountants, gradeschool teachers...most women have got tattoos hidden someplace on their bodies, so why not rebel a little further?
Destiny says two of her male classmates have mohawks (although more likely fauxhawks), and has requested one of her own; we've dissuaded her under the logic that hair grows so slow, and if she wanted to change hairstyles again she wouldn't get rid of it except for shaving bare and starting from scratch. A bald-headed 10-year-old isn't what most little girls want to be.
