The Glorious Return of the Mullet

The Boy was reading the New York Times before bed last night and happened upon a very interesting article. Come to find out that the mullet is making a comeback in a big way in Moscow. It brings me great joy to see the mullet claw it's way from the depth of embarassing hairstyle you never admit you had to totally hip and now. It just warms my heart.

This reminds me of a friend of The Boy and me (name omitted to protect the mullet). Please note that this tale is not meant to mock in any way, shape, or form. Anyways, about ten years ago, The Boy and I worked with said friend. He had the most fabulous mullet; thick, full, and very well kept. We never said anything... we didn't care. It was a part of who he was. Since then, he's cut it off and is barely recognizable. Luckily, his mother has a picture at her house of him in his mullet glory.

Many years later, we arrive at a Halloween party at this friend's house. He answers the door wearing a mullet wig and the mustache he used to sport grown in. To The Boy and I, this seemed completely normal. The thought isn't this supposed to be a costume party? actually crossed my mind. He asked us why we never told him about the status of mullets, to which we replied that we never judged him. The fact of the matter is that we thought it was great, and screw anyone who didn't. We do like to tease about it now and then, though.

It's great to see the mullet rise out of the ashes like the mighty Phoenix. Hopefully the trend will make its way back here to the States. Maybe we can convince old friends to relive the glory days? Only time will tell...
