Why do some girls wear bumps? What message are they trying to send?
Clearly that they are benevolent and full of veneration. For what, we are still investigating.

And here, I just thought it was human nature.
Nah, human nature is out of bump range.
They are practicing to be our future “Rebbetzins”
what’s a bump?
I’ve been telling those people with the retarded high bumps that if I want to commit suicide I’ll jump off it… not that I haven’t worn one of them
Re-enactment of 1988-1992 or so. Ever see Seinfeld? You shoulda seen my teachers when I was in 5th grade or so in a BY. Their bumps dwarfed those of today.
I always thought that the bumps were to cover up some oddly shaped head?
Nah, it’s because (as L.M. Montgomery once wrote) only a woman who is truly beautiful or doesn’t care about her appearance should wear her hair pulled straight back from her face. Even in really old-fashioned days when all women wore their hair up, they’d have hair rolled up somehow in the front to enchance their features. A simple matter of aesthetics.
i agree with anonymous 8:40
It’s a symbol of being a member of the B.Y. Cult.
Oh,oh,she used the Cult word…….
I was in B.Y., and I never had a bump, nor did I ever think I needed on. People see my benevolence and veneration when I walk by, from the aura I give off. Why wear a bump?
Nice post, btw….
my great aunt and her friends (very NOT bais yaakov…) all can’t seem to get rid of their bumps…from the forties? thirties? or should i not go there…
I thought it was a NY thing (ducks from the rotten tomatoes) that filtered down….?
well, it may be that it gives off the impression that they have more volume to the hair, making them/their hair seem healthier. And health is a sign that they will be good mother (at least from an evolutionary standpoint)
ooo, from my psyc textbook- right below the benevolence, is imitation…
