No puede ser, es imposible, pensaba: seguro que quieren tomarme el pelo. Pero como es una idea que todav\u00eda me atormenta, me he decidido a preguntar.\u00a0 Sed sinceros: \u00bfalguno de vosotros, en alguna ocasi\u00f3n, oy\u00f3 hablar del \u201cspanish mullet\u201d? Es curioso, \u00a1ni siquiera conozco el t\u00e9rmino espa\u00f1ol para este fen\u00f3meno!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Para quienes no sepan de qu\u00e9 hablo, voy a intentar aclararlo: pelo corto por delante, casi rapado por los laterales, y largo por la parte de atr\u00e1s. Puede ir acompa\u00f1ado de rastas, aunque no es indispensable. O lo que en palabras de mi padre ser\u00eda: \u201cparece que te ha pelado un burro a bocados&#8221;, \u00a1pero ahora encima hay que pagar al peluquero!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Nunca he sido dada a criticar la moda, principalmente porque soy la primera que se la salta a la torera, pero debo reconocer que mi sentido est\u00e9tico no va acorde con esta tendencia. Investigando un poco he descubierto que ya en el siglo VI algunos rebeldes de la Roma cl\u00e1sica lo pusieron de moda, aunque ellos lo llamaban corte a lo \u201cHuno\u201d (si, como Atila, aunque yo siempre los imagin\u00e9 con melena). Y por supuesto, la d\u00e9cada de los 80 le dio todo su esplendor. Desde David Bowie hasta MacGyver lucieron orgullosos sus mullets. Por desgracia, no desapareci\u00f3 junto con las hombreras, y hoy d\u00eda la llevan muchos adolescentes espa\u00f1oles, y otros no tanto.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As\u00ed que amigos, el d\u00eda que dese\u00e9is visitar Espa\u00f1a, preparaos para disfrutar\u00a0de su sol, su cultura, su maravillosa gastronom\u00eda, y la visi\u00f3n por doquier de estos j\u00f3venes modernos del siglo XXI. Y por supuesto, no pens\u00e9is que es un corte de pelo exclusivamente masculino, \u00a1aqu\u00ed tambi\u00e9n existe la igualdad!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Y ahora me marcho a cortarme el pelo antes de que mi peluquero lea este art\u00edculo porque\u2026 \u00a1\u00e9l tambi\u00e9n lleva uno!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When they told me, I refused to believe it. \u201cIt cannot be, it is impossible\u201d, I thought: obviously, they are taking me for a ride. But since the thought still haunts me, I have decided to ask you. Be honest: have you ever heard about the &#8220;Spanish mullet &#8220;? Funnily enough, I don\u00b4teven know the Spanish term for this phenomenon!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For those of you who don&#8217;t not what I am talking about, I\u00b4ll try try to clarify it: short hair in\u00a0the front part of your head, shaven along the sides, and long on the back. It can be accompanied by dreadlocks, though they are not required. Or what in my father&#8217;s words would be: &#8220;you look like you got your haircut from donkey bites\u201d, but people actually pay for this!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I have never one to criticize fashion, mainly because I am the first one flouting it, but I must admit that my aesthetic sense does conform to this trend. Doing some research I have discovered that, in the sixth century, some rebels in ancient Rome made it fashionable, but they named it the &#8220;Hun&#8221; haircut (yes, Attila the Hun, although I always imagined them with long hair). And certainly, the\u00a0 80s gave it all its splendor. From David Bowie to MacGyver, they all sported their mullets with pride. Unfortunately, it did not disappear together with the shoulder pads, and today it is worn by many Spanish teenagers, and even people who are not so young.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">So, my friends, when you want to visit Spain, prepare yourselves to enjoy its sun, its culture, its wonderful gastronomy, and the pervasive sight of all these modern youth of the 21st century. And certainly, don&#8217;t think that it is an exclusively male haircut, gender equality also applies here!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">And now I&#8217;m going for a haircut before my hairdresser reads this article because \u2026 he also wears a mullet!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cuando me lo contaron, me negu\u00e9 a creerlo.
