They say, “The third time's the charm”. We are going to put that to the test this year and reach the mountain top. For the past two years, the “Russell Cat” mullet has been the primary representative for New Mexico in the Mullet Champ competition. Each time he has gotten further in the contest. The entire state came to show support when they saw his segment appear on one of the local news stations in Albuquerque. He dashed past the competition and won the 2nd round of the competition, with the 2nd place winner still being hundreds of votes behind. The people saw, respected, and appreciated the masterpiece that is the Russell Cat mullet. His iconic and naturally born mullet has been a defining characteristic of who Russell is since he was born. As we enter the 3rd year of the competition. All we ask is for you to take the time to check out the Russell Cat mullet for yourself and let it speak to you as it tends to speak to something inside of most people. It’s the type of feeling that, even when you are unfamiliar with something, you can’t help but recognize and appreciate it. We know Russell can take it this year with just a little more help and support from across the country. Russell wishes to help inspire other peers with ASD to come out of their shell and show that they will not be limited in their ability to make a difference.
