It’s been awhile since our first installment of Mullet Watch 2008. Our second installment comes to us thanks to my Ginger friend. The following photo was taken with a Ginger cell phone, sent to my cell phone, then sent from my cell phone to my email, which was then downloaded from that email and re-uploaded onto this site, only after being approved by the Prime Minister of Malaysia. In other words, the quality is sub-par, but obviously a poor photo is better than no photo at all. WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT SUCH TECHNOLOGY?
Lest we forget the Official Mullet Watch 2008 scoring guidelines I have included them for you:
- Texture: The more impressive the texture, the higher the score.
- Gender: This is kind of a freebie for the ladies. Lets face it: He-mullets are far less funny than Fe-mullets, so by default a woman rocking a mullet automatically scores two points, while a male mullet only scores one. Sorry guys.
- Front to back ratio: The larger the difference in length, the better.
- Context: Here it is important to consider how the mullet fits into the surrounding society. The more outlandish the context, the higher score that is deserved. For example, a mullet seen strutting around an office building should score higher than a mullet discovered shopping at Costco. Or better yet, can you picture Miss Alabama perching her pretty little crown on top of a mullet? I rest my case.
- Mullet Pride: This is an important one. Ask yourselves the following questions: What sets this mullet apart from other varieties? Does this mullet go above and beyond all ridiculousness and take mullet culture/style to a whole new level? How so? What makes this mullet special? Please note: This category is intentionally broad, and gives contestants (especially the men) a chance to regain some points that they may have lost in other areas, such as Gender. While scoring this category please also take into consideration any adornments, such as barettes, clips, etc. In other words: creativity here is encouraged
Here is the photo:

Hi. I read a few of your other posts and wanted to know if you would be interested in exchanging blogroll links?

ok, let me state that this photo was really difficult to take. Though she had a limp she was walking really fast and we were in an arts festival so I couldn’t just stand still. I was going to take a second photo but then John told me I was being an idiot and a bad person.

Oh wow…I just wandered over from Mama’s Losin’ It, and this might be the funniest thing I’ve read all day! I might have the Mullet Mother-lode to capture on film: I run a foster care agency and one of the families has an entire sibling group with mullets…purposeful mullets, because they are “in style” according to foster mom. And here I thought we were supposed to be putting a stop to the abuse… ha! A photo might violate some HIPPA regs, but I’ll see what I can come up with. I’ll be back to see what my competition looks like!

Ginger- We are bad people. If John can’t get over that teensy detail maybe he should date Jenny. She’s way nicer and far more politically correct than us.
Missy-So glad you’re here! Let’s not break TOO many laws regarding child HIPPA regulations, but I AM all for as many shenanigans as possible as long as they won’t land me in the slammer. Thanks for stopping by, I hope to see more of you!
Anyway, people, WHERE ARE ALL YOUR GODDAMN VOTES? (Voti?)

A family of mullets? I’m practically drooling. But back to the post…it’s really too bad about the quality, but I understand the logistical/moral difficulties. What was the texture like in person? I mean, was it really frizzy? As for the context, mullets at an arts festival are better than supermarket mullets, yet not as good as one on an urban street amongst suits, etc. The back portion has a nice length in contrast to the front…too bad there’s not a front view as well. Capturing missing teeth or something would add to it. Overall, definitely a quality chick mullet. Well done.

FINALLY-Excellent analysis! People-use Miss Artichokeshavehearts’s very detailed critique as your guideline in Mullet Scoring because she clearly knows what’s up. Well done.

I have to give some major points for the way the woman is carrying herself. the look that she is portraying is one of pride. look at her posture. slightly arched back, arm moving towards head as if to throw the “party” portion over her shoulder. THAT’s Mullet Pride.

You’re so very, very right. Ginger gave this a “7″, I think I concur. Although, French Rangoon (ahem-one of the FOUNDERS of Mullet Watch 08) has yet to comment. Speak now or forever hold your peace on this very important topic.
And as always, do not hesitate to email me further mullet photos to hautepocketcontact@gmail.com
