When you say bowl cut, I think of this pic. As this is the type of bowlcut that you can actually acquire by placing a bowl on the poor chilld's head and using it as a guide. Note, dh is a good asian boy and has similar pics to this one...

I would consider what you're referring to is something more along these lines...at least this is what I see on TONS of boys here on the west coast. I like to call it the "emo bowl cut" or "mullet shag". Heehee!

I guess I always thought a bowl cut looked pretty much like an actual bowl!
Sorry I missed out on your initial post. It was a fun one.

Re: MOD! Methinks your concept of a "bowlcut" is different than mine...
DH has hair just like that too, but he also had a jerry curl in his teenage years....yuck.
Britney Spears kids have bowl cuts!
Adam Rich from Eight is Enough had the very epitome of bowl cut.
Ummm, not that I'm old enough to remember or anything.
