  3. Glenn S. says:

    Whooo! We got party in the front and back over here!!!

  4. CompoundBow101 says:

    He is going to have a compound bow when he gets older!!

  5. Trish says:

    Why would a kid wear peals with a sweater? This is obviously shopped.

  6. Surreall says:

    Game. Set. Match.

  7. socute says:

    Curling Iron Gone Wild!

    or maybe

    Sponge Rollers Gone Wild!

    You’re still a cutie, Kelly. Have you forgiven your mother yet?

  10. stlphotogal says:

    This could also be labeled as a shmullet (she-mullet)

  11. Ackward says:

    Amazing.

  12. Vickie says:

    the pearl necklace is a nice touch

  13. jenn says:

    clearly done with an curling iron not a perm

    • Amberosia19 says:

      If it was done with a curling iron, then why is the back so clearly frizzed out and flat? My money is on this being a Toni home perm and the person who did it didn’t understand the timing difference when perming long and short hair at the same time.

      • Laureen says:

        Great, is curling iron vs Toni home perm going to be the next compound vs cross debate? LOL

      • Recovering Tonette Perm Victim says:

        My money is that girl’s mother was a closeted beautician . My mother secretly dreamed she was one and loved perming my hair within a inch of my life. The only difference between us is this little chick doesn’t look Native American.

        • dinerosdeb says:

          def a Toni at home debacle….
          ~I too was a victim of “toni”….~

          • ChasBrat says:

            I too was a victim of the Toni home perm. Only, I was 11 and had short red hair and ended up looking like Annie.

      • crbr8r says:

        boy,Ithink we need a support group!Any catch names we could adopt for we the child victims of moms who tried their best but failed miserably as stylists?

    • Kathy says:

      To achieve a truly 1980’s “perm-mullet”, you had to do both the perm AND the curling iron. When done properly, the “business” part of the perm-mullet would be out there in all it’s 80’s Big Hair Glory. And if you were willing to spend the time with the curling iron in the back, there was one heck of a party going on!

  14. bonnie says:

    I cannot and will not stop laughing at this…it don’t get no better…

  15. Tamara says:

    She wins.

  16. MST says:

    I accept your challenge, but I’m having trouble locating my picture of the Mulletfro.

  17. Tim says:

    Kelly was one of the smart ones; she was ready when she was invited to the Shirley Temple tribute concert…

  18. Jeneva says:

    that permullet is SWEEEEET!!

  19. luvzemullet says:

    Somewhere Miley is thanking her lucky stars Billy Ray didn’t have curlers.

  20. WombatGirl says:

    DANG DUKE

  21. neverfirst says:

    You win.

  22. Booger says:

    Mullet Haiku:

    Business up front
    Party round and down my back
    Billy Ray’s my Dad

  23. Camille says:

    Kelly, you are my new hero !!!

  24. grimey says:

    Do you double-dog dare me?

  25. Leigh says:

    Is it just me, or do the curls follow you… no matter where you go?

  26. KC says:

    The mouth bling just tops it all.

  27. Susan says:

    A female mullet is usually called a “fullet.” A “permullet” can be used for either gender.

  28. Alicia says:

    i actually know someone with this exact hairstyle. not even kidding.

  29. Narvolicious says:

    Aw man, KA-LASS-IC. I was totally dyin when I saw that. “Permullet,” lol. Hall of Famer for sure. Dang.

  30. Annie says:

    bless her for sending this in. I thought I was the only one who ever sported the permullett.

  31. Casey says:

    checkmate.

  32. parkit says:

    Boom!

  33. jewels says:

    This is freakin awesome!!

  34. Stacey says:

    Kelly wins. Game over.

  35. Ray says:

    “Kelly, the poodle sits in your lap, not on your head!”

  36. Kelly says:

    Hello Everyone! Yep, it’s me – the rightful owner of the PerMullet thrown. Let’s clear up a few things:
    1. I am a girl – and I don’t want a compound bow.
    2. It is a perm.
    3. The pearls were a gift.
    4. It is not photoshopped – which is sad to think about really.
    5. A PerMullet is the name I am sticking with because it creatively combines Perm & Mullet.

    Thanks for your comments they are hilarious and glad you enjoyed the moment that captured my childhood.

  37. Billy bob says:

    MULLET!!!!

  38. Geo says:

    Nobody wears it better, sweetie. You rule.

  39. Jenn says:

    Bless her little achy breaky heart.

  40. Ojoya says:

    I totally had this haircut in the 80s when I was about 8, I guess…. I asked for it on purpose because “Birthday Barbie” had the same hair style! It wasn’t my fault!!

  41. MarcsNymph says:

    I love Kelly! You have such a great sense of humor. And Permullet aside you were TOO CUTE!!!!!

  42. Kathy says:

    I had a “perm-mullet” in my high school graduation picture, but this one beats mine. You win, Kelly!

  43. D says:

    A new word in coined: permullet.
    they should be using it on CNN soon.

  44. Danielle says:

    I wore that exact sweater when I was a kid. Happy to say I did not sport this entire “look.”

  45. hero says:

    i just blew my funny bone. cannot laugh ever again. holy moly!

  46. graphicartist2k5 says:

    something about her hairstyle screams out “80’s COUNTRY SINGER”

  47. Aaron says:

    the guantlet has been picked up. Jillian saw to that.

  48. MissouriMom says:

    bless your heart, Kelly. I can’t believe someone thought it was Photoshopped, clearly someone under age 30 who didn’t live through this tragic hair era

  49. Madameprezz says:

  50. FrenchCori says:
