Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In the post-war years of the 20th century fashions came and went but some managed to cross the boundaries of time refusing to disappear into style oblivion. The mini-skirt, flared trousers, polka dots, all politely meandered in and out of fashion--happy to be described as "retro", pleased to make a comeback for a season, resigned to stay cupboard bound for years at a time. Hairstyles have behaved in the same way: feathered cuts, fringes, bobs with varying angles all stepping into the spotlight on cue and then disappearing until next time. Of course to every rule there is the exception and, in this case, it is a hairstyle known as "The Mullet".
The Mullet is a bi-level compromise of a coiffeur saluted by Mike Larson and Barney Hoskyns as a timeless phenomenon which can be traced back to prehistoric times. This light-hearted celebration follows the mullet's popularity among ancient civilisations, its revival in the late Eighteenth Century (as evidenced in Gainsborough's Blue Boy) through to the rock era of the Twentieth Century. Little did anyone know that David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust look would begin a mullet-mania which was destined to reach its pinnacle in the 1980's--anyone who was anyone in the world of rock music, sport and fashion wore a mullet of some kind and this book contains ample (damning) photographic proof of its popularity. Famous mullet-heads featured here include Jason Donovan, Glenn Hoddle, Barry White and Patrick Swayze.
The book adopts a knowing, ironic tone throughout its textual commentary and is made up largely of whimsical features such as a Mullet Man cartoon strip and Mulletinboard--an agony page for bi-levellers with a problem. This is a fun and playful present to give to anyone who wears their mullet with pride. --Nicola Hollins --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
