The Original Mullet Wig

(I just want to state, for the record, that this is truly disturbing.)

Curiouser and Curiouser said Alice.

I felt terribly "un-hip" a year ago or so when I was shopping at a "Hot Topic" (for those who don't know, this is a terribly trendy teen store in malls) with Emily, who was 17 at the time. I saw a button that said "Friends don't let friends do Mullets" or something. I asked "what's a mullet, a band?"
After the explanation I said to the very young sales clerk - "sheesh - I lived through it and I didn't even know it had a name! I guess some things are best forgotten."

However, I am just as happy to see that a sort of feminine gypsy hippy 602-70s chic is hot right now and may have to take advantage of it to stock up on cool clothes I like. I don't mind when my own styles are trendy, I figure it's just a good chance to get clothes which I will cheerfully keep wearing long after they become passe.
