The Rat Tail

White folks with dreadlocks are one of my pet-peeves. Hence Spain drove me crazy, especially since they take the lock to the next level with the rattail. The rattail is what you do when you have already been through the lock stage, so you cut all of your hair short except for a long lock or two at the back of your head. It is hideous. I found the other similar Spainish hairstyles funny, like the broom, where you cut your hair short and then have a short bob puffing out from the back of your head, or the euro-mullet, part-Mohawk, part-mullet, all gel. Or the thick straight-cut bangs. The funniest shit is that regular non-bohemian folks, like the lady at the airport counter wore these ridiculous hair-styles. Again I was loving it except for the damn rat tail. I also really loved the street art and graffiti everywhere and the highly-visible radical political slogans.
