Houndstooth twins

UAB Music student Meagan Bailey featured in this article.

The Houndstooth Twins are students at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. They grew up in the house in Blount County, and now live in Birmingham, where Ashley works for a law firm.

Maegen is the piano and music teacher at a Baptist church in Trussville, a suburb of Birmingham. She also gives piano lessons.

Until 2005, neither of them were accustomed to dressing alike. But then, Ashley's boyfriend at the time, a trainer on the Alabama football team, received free tickets to the game against the University of Florida.

Two days before the game, Ashley and Maegen drove to Tuscaloosa. When they arrived, they went to a shop that sold the houndstooth hats.
