Mullets (sigh)...where do I even begin? First off I would like to dedicate this post to my principal, she is a well respected educator, went to gradute school at Penn and got a mullet haircut yesterday. Despite the hard knocks I deal asian fashion, Korea, for the most part is very up and coming on fashion trends, BUT if this is the direction the tide is turning it may be time to jump ship. The first mullet recorded in history was donned by Welsh pop singer Tom Jones in the 1960's, and later the faux-mullet by glam-rocker David Bowie in the 1970's. The mullet seems to take on a persona of it's own, people who rock out with their mullet out, no longer are addressed by their name, but referred to as "oh, that one guy/girl with the mullet." Mullets are kinda like the band Nickelback, were not quite sure how they became popular, but someone must like them because they have survived this long. I spotted this woman while on the island of Jeju a few weeks back. It was a beautiful hike, gorgeous sunset, pristine weather, good conversation...no matter how hard I tried to draw my attention to something else, my eye kept catching this mullet haircut. Thats the thing about mullets, they are show stealers. In Korea, where the jewelry is bedazzled, the booty shorts reveal major crackage and the heels are 5 inches tall, anything used to grab attention is a good thing...even the mullet.
