It’s bigger! It’s badder! And it is here to take home the gold! Last year, the “Russell Cat Mullet” took the Land of Enchantment by storm and got its own story on the local Newspaper and a Albuquerque news station. There has just always been something about the “Russell Cat Mullet” that draws people in and makes them gravitate towards it. Maybe it’s because it’s been a natural mullet from the beginning. Not part of a trend, not a parody, just a rocking mullet that he was essentially born with. Russell, like many other individuals with ASD, originally found it difficult to handle all the sensory input from haircuts. Little did we know that this would unintentionally create his iconic, eye-catching, and robust mullet that we know today. It’s literally the type of hair that other people take a picture of on their vacation to show and share. Last year, Russell was a last-minute entry to the competition and placed 37th overall out of 300 kids in his age group. Now heading into middle school, Russell anticipates he will have bigger and more veteran mullets to contend with. However, we have plenty of faith that Russell will place even higher this year, and will bring some real competition for anyone who thinks their mullet can contend with the “Russell Cat Mullet”.
