Mom Bob

April 1st, 2009

APRIL 1ST, 2009 Mom Bob An unexpected trend has sprouted from the Juno stage, and it's the hottest hairstyle to sweep Vancouver since “The Rachel.” Inspired by Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger, we hear women have been stampeding into Suki's requesting the same sleek, straightened, chin-length bob as Kroeger.
