Mullets Are Coming Back
Mullet Man
The mullet is alternately known as the Mississippi mud flap, the neck
blanket, the Kentucky waterfall, Achy Breaky hair, and the Camaro cut.
On a woman: Femmullet.
On a child: Child abuse.
Some 20 entrants, competing for a blue ribbon and an airbrushed
painting of one of cinema’s most popular mullet-wearers, Joe Dirt, had
their mullets measured by judges from the Iowa School of Beauty.
“We think it’s coming back,” school instructor Aimee Jarshaw said forebodingly.
“It always gets made fun of, but I think people secretly love the
mullet,” said John Jayne, 47, of Des Moines. “People take my picture.
Say it’s a hockey haircut.”
