venturing outside the pacific north west only to discover that....

THERE ARE NO RATTAILS IN CALIFORNIA!!!

i went to San Francisco, which i had naively assumed would be host to the vanguard of california-dreamy tail-sporters.

NOTHING!

ok, i saw one totally legit cutie with a true-blood cutie curl going down the steps at Green Apple Books on Clement street, but my camera battery was dead and i thought it might be a little more awkward to ask if i could like, draw a picture of his rattail?

one cool thing that california did have was this fake clip on rat tail that was hanging out at clark, abe, and anton's place. this is for the transitory hipster who is not ready to commit! we braided it and took it to the beach.




kyle may was the sunshine state's only saving grace, he's got a sporty little number which can easily be tucked up into the curls, or finger-combed down for full tail exposure.



BACK IN PORTLAND>>>>>

tails abound! hot damn was i glad to get home.

over at the 0% house folks have been reppin' tails with proper summer enthusiasm.

zac's got a brand new tail (don't mind saying i had a hand in the shaping of this one). welcome to the club, wear it with pride!



amanda has a goldilocks mouse tail in a totally perfect fish-hook curl - points for best form!



this young woman at the tiki/karaoke bar the Alibi was a bit hesitant to let me photograph her rainbow beaded rattail, and it's possible she thought i was trying to hit on her. really i was just enamored by the choice bead work (heart shaped!!!) and am awarding her with TAIL OF THE WEEK!!!



UP NEXT:

i moved to seattle this week and have already seen like a bazillion amazing rattails! stay tuned to the premier internet rat tail blog for upcoming profiles o TAILS FROM THE ZONE!

Nice idea this blog for rattail! I have too a rattail, since 7 years.

From France I discovered your blog and it is good, I like it, but it’s a shame to cut his rattail.
