Lovely piece, Kate. Funny thing is that I actually got used to such abominable haircuts going every month to Bs As, even living in Brazil where people don’t risk that much when getting their hair done.

But you’re right, no place on earth has such a collection of hairdo threats.

All the best!

If “This is a waste of time” were a valid critique, I’m sure I would be more receptive.

You’re entitled to your opinion, but Matador is not a homogenized entity in which everyone shares the same point of view. The point of this piece is humor. It’s much different from making fun of someone’s weight or even the clothes they wear as that is often not a choice. Haircuts are choices and often very bad ones as you can see in the article above.

The title alone should give you a good idea what it’s is about. So why did you waste your time both reading and complaining about it? So the argument I made is valid.

MatadorNights carries pieces that are meant to amuse in which the authors don’t have to take themselves or the world so seriously. That’s how it is, kid. So if you don’t like it, I still suggest you click elsewhere, especially when you see a title that you think will be a waste of time.

Yeah, I’m not going off as strong as others, but I was really dissapointed in reading this article on Matador Network. What’s next? Fat people? Ugly clothes? Nah, this was a waste of time.

And Kate, the argument “just clicks somewhere else” is useless. People go to Matador Network because they agree with the general quality here. So when someone deliver below that, they should be prepared to hear it – and open-minded enought to accept it. In my mind – you didn’t in this article.

AAh. Just spotted this piece. I spent 4 years in Barcelona, capital of the male mullet. For two years I mocked them. In the third year I stopped noticing them. In the fourth year I started finding men with mullets hot. I left the country not long after: it was getting scary.

@ writer of negative comment: Many of the writers on Matador live abroad. Speaking from experience, once you’ve spent a first few months living in a different country, lapping up the culture, seeing the sights and generally acting like a tourist, you start to notice other stuff too. Like people’s music, media, shopping habits, hair, clothes, pets, houses, food, schools, way of mopping a floor – whatever. For me, the fact that Matador includes this kind of stuff sets it apart from other mags, online or otherwise. Most guide book writers don’t hang around long enough to notice this kind of stuff.

I’m looking forward to world mullet watch. Let’s make it global.

You have forgotten the girls in Argentina. The hairstyle typical of them: messy hair with giant flowers is also very ugly.
