You just wanna yank 'em...

Mullets - there are so many here. No Buenos Aires blog would be complete without some kind of comment on this hairstyle situation. There are so so many. Many many many mullets. Going up the stairs exiting the subway some guy in front of me has one and I just want to grab the mullet, yank it, yell "honk!!" and run away. Its a useless little extension of hair kind of sneaking its way down the back, almost as though its owner missed it during a haircut. They give me the creeps. I just think eeeeeeeewww because I cant help but imagine it dripping with ooze, soaking the back of the wearer's shirt - sinister, repulsive and unnecessary, if the mullet had a mustache it would be slowly curling it between its thumb and forefinger, got me?

I'm sick right now (congested, feverish, exhausted) so instead of listening to my insane ramblings any further, I decided it would be best to call upon the work of others to teach you more...

I've done a little research and found that there is a fellow American in Palermo who has taken it upon himself to school us on the mullet situation here in Buenos Aires. Here is the link: http://brandanbuenosayres.blogspot.com/2006/01/buenos-aires-is-business-c_113770630517182880.html Included are some pictures of locals sporting the "business in the front, party in the back".

The guy with the website refers to it as the "short long" or the "1090". Hilarious.
I have tried to get some good mullet pics, but Mike Siegel put more time and effort into it and even did a little photoshop project on this hairstyle phenomenon. Take a peek.

Here it is in its purest form. He forgoes all other hair and has isolated the mullet, making it not the accent that it usually is, but the main attraction...


Its reached every level of society...the young people, they just dont realize......its a shame.


This guy had the audicity to dread his...so its even more spine tingling

and just for kicks....
