Soccer mullet
Is this guy a cheeseball, or what? This was on the door of a beauty salon here in Venice, and it continues my confusion as to why they only seem to be able to put pictures of people with ridiculous hair styles on these places. This young fellow has got himself a ‘Soccer Mullet,’ which is hilarious for more reasons than I have time to recount here.
I thought it was funny when people started making fun of rednecks for their mullets back in the 90s. It was funnier still when all of the hipsters in Brooklyn showed up with their irony-laden mullets. And now we have the European, irony-free, soccer mullet, as if it were some statement of athleticism or something. Doesn’t everybody know that only works for hockey players?

European mullet is the epitome of fashion! In Spain we have several kinds, but the most popular ones are the catalan and the gipsy.

We saw more mullets in Spain than I’ve ever seen before, but the one we saw the most seemed to be called the Fe-Mullet.

For a fascinating discussion on the history of the mullet, see:

I also learned here that “bemulleted” is a real word. I’ll try and fit that into a conversation sometime this week.

the hockey mullet is a fashion twist on the hockey Mohawk which is a popular adolescent play-off ritual.

Hockey and soccer have the greatest mullets. MULLET POWER!
