[Scared]

Can someone please explain to me the so-called ‘dyke-mullet’ hairstyle and why it is so ubiquitous? It really frightens me. Is this just an Atlanta thing? (Reference http://www.mulletsgalore.com , class 1, item 9)

Don’t worry about it. There are looks that frighten me as well but I’m sure that there are lesbians out there who do not have that hairstyle, if that’s what you’re thinking about. Sometimes, you think am I the only one who is not like that, but I can assure you you’re not!

I don’t understand. You’re afraid of a hairstyle?

OK, I went to the web site because I had no clue what you were talking about. It turned out to be a difference in terminology. Around here, people call those haircuts ‘bi-level.’ I have no clue why a lot more ‘dykey’ lesbians sport these things. Personally, I find them unattractive, as does my partner. I think it’s a matter of taste. I have found that bi-levels seem to be more popular in rural areas (more redneck areas) around here, as opposed to the suburbanites and city girls. But this is not carved in stone: It was a very “in” thing in the ’80s, and not just among lesbians either. But some people just do not change their style. Perhaps they find it convenient, so that they have some hair to play with but can wash and dry? I do know I’ve been seeing less of these, and the folks I hang out with hate them! I think it’s more a fashion thing, really, to have a ‘jockish’ haircut that is still long in the back. Now a lot of people just either go long or go short. You certainly don’t have to follow suit if you don’t like the style. Don’t let it scare you.

I looked up this site and you’ll notice up top (in the subject line) there’s a caption ‘Fear the Mullet’. I think ‘Scared’ is putting us on and just goofing around with the concept. It’s a hairstyle I don’t find particularly handsome on either a man or a woman, but each to their own, I suppose. (PS — I trim my balding hair in the front between haircuts to even it up, and over the ears as well, so maybe I’m subconsciously trying to grow a mullet myself!)
