Plants grow on people’s heads

What do you think about this new trend?

We have a new accessory across Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province in China. It has become so popular in this city. Everywhere you go you can see men and women of any age wearing this kind of hair pin.
What does this hair pin look like? It is made of plastic or cloth. It is made to look like a plant, such as a bean sprout, a mushroom, flowers and so on. It looks like a plant is growing on the top of someone’s head. Upon closer inspection, it looks more like an antenna. It is the kind of cute thing you think would be suitable for kids or young girls but you are wrong. In Chengdu, even older men wear this hair pin. One man said:” I was walking down the street and I saw so many people wearing the antenna hair pin. I thought wearing this looks really cute so I bought one.” However his view is not shared by everyone. Some people think older men wearing this antenna hair pin look ridiculous. But who cares about what others think? It's good just to be yourself.

People make jokes about it: mum will never worry about the the thunder, we never think about that we will lost our signal, everyone becomes man yangyang( it is a character in Chinese cartoon, man yangyang is a sheep who does everything slowly)....... <em>(I'm not sure how to translate these jokes-sorry!!)</em>

This bizarre trend has inspired a lot of street vendors in Chengdu. A young girl from university made the hand-made antenna hair pins and sold them on the street. She was quite happy because about 100 hair pins sold out within one hour so it was quite lucrative. if you can’t make the hair pin yourself , you can still cash in on this trend: the hair pin can be bought for as little as 0.3 yuan online; the vendors sell them for 5 yuan each so you could also make hundreds of yuan each day.
