actually the bob first appeared in the late twenties with the popularity of flappers and became widely worn in the early 30's. if you do a google search on louise brooks you will see that she was the first widely known celebrity with the bob. other bob wearers: irene castle and betty boop. it arose again the 60's as a trend sorta like "i'm new and hip because i'm old and vintage" sorta what everyone does today. peace adriana
