Claudia and the Bad Joke, and Claudia and Crazy Peaches are the only two covers I can think of off the top of my head in which Ms. Kishi isn't rocking the side ponytail (her hair is in a bun for Crazy Peaches and since she's in the hospital on the cover of Bad Joke a side ponytail would have looked stupid).
That said, I always hated side ponytails. My mom always made me wear it like that until I got old enough to do my own hair.

^ I never had to wear one, thank goodness, but had the awful sideburns instead ;D I'm not a fan of side ponytails, either, or of most of Claud's hairstyles really.

I never wore a sideways ponytail, probably because it always seemed like it would be uncomfortable.

I rocked the sideways ponytail through the '80s and the early-90s. I never found it that uncomfortable. Paired with my hot pink stirrup pants and slouch socks, I was the epitome of cool.
I had an awful co-worker for awhile who wore her hair in a sideways ponytail. She was fired. Not because of the sideways ponytail, necessarily, but I don't think it helped.

I just put my hair into a side ponytail to refresh my memory and I looked totally lopsided. Lol! It's depressing to think that I spent many years looking like I could fall over at any moment.

^Haha I just tried my hair in a SP for the first time in years. My hair is really thick so the ponytail ended up being extremely heavy. I felt like I had a rock hanging from my head.

I tried the sideways ponytail as a kid, but it just felt so uneven. Soooo, instead, I did a sidewalks half ponytail. It was my favorite hairstyle. I took a little hair from one side, swooped it over to the other and made a little ponytail. Pretty hideous, but I liked it.

Sideways ponytails sound like they would be really painful.

^ I never wore them either because they always sounded painful. I had really long, thick hair too so thought it would pull my head over. A regular ponytail was always so much easier. Just read in Dance School Phantom that one of the girls always wore her hair on the side of her head somehow and it made me think of this thread ;D

I would think a sideways ponytail would get in your way if you were a ballerina. Ouch.

I think it would. When I was taking ballet we all had to wear our hair in buns.

That's what I thought too. Maybe it was a bun on the side of the head??? ;D
