I’m Sexy and I Know it, I’m Sexy and I Like It
January 7th, 2013
This haircut is called The Gremlin
(This week the women of GenFab™* are doing a blog hop on the topic: Fashion Disasters.)
The year was 1984. I was the recipient of the haircut where they shave the sides of your head next to your ears in order to keep your naturally bushy hair from bushing out. Then it’s very important to leave a tail in the back so people can grab it before you step off the curb into the path of an oncoming bus. Also, you can look just like Billy Ray Cyrus.
He stole my look!
Finally there should be a mushroomy pouf on the top where you can hide annoying things (like a mirror, since you should never look in one again). This haircut will keep you humble for a great long time and is perfect for anyone who’s a little too big for their britches. You’re welcome.

Your bravery never stops astounding me. But even with The Gremlin, you still looked hot.
Deborah I love you.
You can’t go wrong with the mullet :>)
I like it when you lie.
Sad thing? I had this haircut.
Even sadder thing? I know people who STILL have this haircut.
I have a hard time restraining myself from cutting off the hair tail whenever I see a mullet walk by.
Wow, you looked tough! How long did it take to grow that thing out? If you could still look that good in a haircut that bad, then when you lay your head down on your pillow tonight, just thank your stars!
Oh Mindy you are too kind.
What is the difference between the Gremlin and the Mullet? It was one bad side effect of the 80′s. Of course I had one too!
Hi Haralee — My boyfriend thought my mullet made me look like one of the Gremlins after they came into contact with water. Or maybe it was my personality he was referring to?
I had a cut like that, too! Paid big money for it at the time so I thought it had to be cool.
That haircut was the first big money I ever paid. They should’ve paid me with a pound of their flesh!
Oh my! You didn’t! But I see you did. That is dreadful. Of course, looking like Billy Ray Cyrus probably had its advantages. I can’t think of any, but it must have. You do look like you are having a dandy time though in the photo booth. Those were always great places to kiss. I think the cellphone has ruined the wonderful intimacy and thrill of the photo booth.
Hi Chloe — I did have an adorable man with me, but not as adorable as my Henry. (In case he’s reading this)
I had that hairstyle and someone asked me if I had just had brain surgery!
Janie you just made me laugh out loud. It does look like I had brain surgery.
You are a brave and funny woman.
Shannon, I vote for you for having the best bad hair and the creativity to compare it (perfectly) to BRC. Ha!
thanks my dear, going to check out yours!
Love it – I dated a guy with this hair cut and thought it was awesome. When running my fingers through his hair I had two completely different experiences.
Billy Ray Cyrus had nothing on you! Lovin’ your hair now. (Fun sitting next to you last night!)
Back at ya! It certainly was a lovely group of ladies.
