On Mullets

I remember the first time I ever heard the word mullet. I was discussing with my good friend over at Booksquare Steve Guttenberg and how I was actually convinced he was hot in the movie Don't Tell Her It's Me (sometimes called The Boyfriend School).

"Oh, the one where he had a mullet?"

"Uh, yeah, I guess so. What's a mullet?"

And that's when I learned about the much maligned mullet. People HATE this do, the Smart Bitches regularly point out the cover models sporting the look. There's a whole movement, and I didn't even realize it.

In an effort to avoid my current work in progress, I did some research. First, I feel strongly the pure hatred of this style resulted as a backlash against Billy Ray Cyrus. A man whose Achy Breaky song is sooo reviled that no one on the planet actually danced to it or bought the album despite its rise to #1. (BTW, I NEVER danced to this. Or sang to it. Never ever ever.)



Second, some people look good with a mullet.



Can anyone argue that Andre was HOT HOT HOT with his mullet?



No one puts Patrick in a corner with his mullet!



Not that there's anything WRONG with a mullet!



Darth Vader - need I say more?


People who would look better with a mullet:

Brad Pitt
Josh Wald
Gerald Butler
Orlando Bloom
Keanu Reeves
The list could go on and on and on.

And, without further ado, my OWN HS graduation picture, sporting...what else? A mullet. (Do people still get those pics with the feathers done?)
