Okay, so here's a question--can't seem to find any evidence of female mullets. Does the classic mullet profile only involve males? I'm having some uneasy memory flashes of me sporting something that came very close to this "style" in the mid-eighties. The lifestyle and...philosophy...(trying to remain politically correct here)...that tends to surround this hairstyle makes me suspect that women aren't part of this club. After all, "the wife knows her place"... ;)

I think Olvia Newton John have one for a while?

Wishful thinking on excepting the ladies from this...while in the minority, you ladies have more hair products and corded "hairaphanalia" to spice things up.

Check out classifications 9, 25, 74 and my personal favorite #94...I think it was a footnote to women's "sufferage" ;) ...the right to vote, and vote with bad hair... :P

I hope HELL is a nicer place than the church makes it out to be. I think I just hopped a cab on the expressway to hell!

:lol:

I think the worst example of the female mullet was back in the 80's when the top, front and sides would be permed, and the back would be left long and straight :blink:

Kind of like this? (classification #74)

I have to admit, in the early '90s I had a mini-mullet, just the last few inches of the back...my mom thought anymore would look ridiculous...I think she meant absolutely ridiculous.

My bird is looking at me like I'm strange since I'm sitting here laughing at my computer. #74 is hideous.

Yes--and sometimes if the back was longer, it literally looked like 2 different heads of hair :D

I was very radical. I hated shoulder pads and cut mine out one day. Then I kept getting asked if I lost weight!! :lol::lol: I did have big hair ... I loved it, my hair is big anyway. It's a lot easier to not have to load it with styling products to weight it down!

That has got to be one of the most hilarious websites I have ever seen. I have emailed the link to all of my friends, and now, thanks to its comprehensive research, I have it confirmed that indeed the female mullet has existed and will continue into infamy. OMG, the "sightings" for mullet #94: Behind trees, divorce court, Afghanistan... :lol::lol::lol:

It was all a bit top heavy--wasn't it! :lol: Even the smokey-eye/red lips were over the top! B)

Ah, the 80's--good times :P

I love how those of you who speak English English, as opposed to American (both US and Canadian) English, use the word brilliant! An Irish priest I used to work with used it regularly. Around here about the only time anyone uses that word is when they're describing someone very smart.

Brill!! :lol:

:blink: Over here we had the opposite.Curly at the back (long),straight at the front.

Either one was truly disgusting!! :lol:

You forgot the high-top Reeboks and Flashdance off-the-shoulder top.

LOL!

Don't forget the first half of the 80's was all about being preppy. I still have my 1982 penny loafers!

Preppy was the style up till Flashdance.

Speaking of John Travolta, now HE has a a head of HAIR! I think his hair has starred in more movies than he has...It had the lead in...Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Pulp Fiction, The Boy in the Bubble, and that awful sci-fi movie he did a few years ago...wait, I'm not sure if his hair made an appearance in that one... :P

Yep, he definitely had the "do"!

Also, remember that lovely 80's "feathered back" look?

Alert! I have recently seen a few women (not men yet, thank gawd) sporting the feathered-back look again. Horrors. Actually, aren't mullet-haired guys often married to women who have the perpetually feathered-back, blonde 'do? I think so...you guys from Alberta? Southern States?

I think you're right ... and where I used to live their favorite mode of transportation was a nearly broken down pickup truck ... that's because our mullets were of the redneck variety.

But wait . . . according to all the teen magazines on the racks at the checkout, feathered hair is back IN. Farrah Fawcett, you're in style again (especially since she basically never changed it)!!!!!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
