c. Clay reports these observations to me

Lydia: Oh yeah? What's that?

Clay: They wear these big bows on top of their heads, right on top! 

Lydia: dumbfounded

What planet is he from that he doesn't know that high school girls wear big bows on top of their heads!?!?!?

Big girls love hair accessories, too!:

Runway models need bows: 

So do GaGa: 

and Madonna + her wannabes!:
