Evidently, when we cast it aside, Spain caught it.
The mullet, in all it's glory, fully resides in the young people of Spain. Every day, without fail, I will see at least 5 mullets. And they aren't hillbillys wearing flannel either, they are hip, young people who chose, AND PAID, for the haircut. I guess jumping the pond means losing (or gaining?) a little fashion. I'm thinking that, just to fully integrate in the culture, I might just have to get one myself, everyone agrees, no? What's even better, is that I have first-hand knowledge of the lengths some people will go to to do it.
Last night, we were out with everyone from our program, and some of the year-long people brought over a few of their friends. At least 2, of course, had mullets. One was just your regular, good old fashioned mullet. But the other had a DREAD mullet. Pretty great if you ask me. Later on that night, one of my friends who had been talking to him cam over and asked me if i had seen the guy with the dread mullet, and of course I said yes. She then proceeded to tell me that this mullet was not real! He had gone to the "peluqueria" and had fake dreadlocks braided into his hair, essentially like a weave, to make a FAKE DREADLOCK MULLET! How awesome.
Pants in Spain are pretty cool too. We affectionately call them "Aladdin Pants" "Poopie Pants" and "Diaper Pants". I can't find pictures, but essentially they are very much like regular jeans, however instead of being fitted in the crotch, or just being loose all over, they have fitted legs, but big baggy crotches, essentially, the pants Aladdin wears.
I did break down (if you can call three euros a break down) and buy some Aladdin shorts. Pictures will be taken eventually. I think I'm planning on bringing this fashion to America. Just you wait. ;)
