Daily Momlet: Delta Burke

By Jon Chattman | December 29th, 2008

Men have mullets. Women have momlets. It’s that simple. Delta Burke (seen above in herDesigning Women glory) rocked a momlet back in the day – always business in the front, party in the back.

Animotion Room to Move

By Jon Chattman | October 8th, 2008

Cynthia Rhodes owned the 1980s. She was in Staying Alive with John Travolta, Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze, and she married Richard Marx. If that weren’t enough,

Daily Momlet: Markie Post

By Jon Chattman | September 29th, 2008

The jury’s back, and I have just been found guilty of having a crush on a super 1980s momlet. Back in the decade of Rubik’s Cube and Alfredo Griffin, Night Court made us all laugh (wisecracking raspy-voiced star Selma Diamond we miss you) and made me get all David Archuleta on the [...]

Daily Momlet: Olivia Newton John Gets Physical

By Jon Chattman | September 17th, 2008

The 1980s video for “Physical” got me all hot and bothered eventhough I was about six when it came out. Sweaty fat dudes and no necks swooning over the hard body of the Grease pinup was enough to send me into manhood almost instantly. Alas, as we all know, that wouldn’t arrive until my Bar [...]

Daily Momlet: Joan Jett

By Jon Chattman | September 12th, 2008

That my friends is what a Momlet is: A Lady with a Mullet. Joan Jett ushered in this era, and quite frankly she wore it well. Joan Jett was bad ass. She still is, but think back to those leather pants, shoulder pads, and man hair, and you’ll be as smitten as I am.

Daily Momlet: Gremlins’ Mom

By Jon Chattman | September 9th, 2008

OK OK so actress Frances Lee McCain had more of a lady ‘fro in Gremlins but it kind of sort of is a borderline Momlet in that the back carries on a bit. As Lynn Peltzer, McCain has to put up with a lot of crap. First of all, her son Billy is annoying, her [...]

The Top Ten Top Tens

By Jon Chattman | August 19th, 2008

I don’t know about you, but I can’t get through one day without seeing a top ten list. Most of them are pretty weak (top 25 movie villains – how original) or quirky (I can’t tell you how many mustache-related top tens I’m guilty of) but overall, I must say I find them quite delightful. [...]

Say Momlet three times, Geena Davis

By Jon Chattman | August 14th, 2008

Whether it was her turn in Beetlejuice or Tootsie, Geena Davis clearly had variations of momlets (female mullets) back in the day. This odd hairdo from the former shows off Davis’ curls and helmet head. We miss Davis. We hope she comes back to movies soon, and sports a momlet again. I never watched her [...]

My baby takes the Momlet train

By Jon Chattman | July 25th, 2008

Sheena Easton was pretty hot back in the 1980’s – figuratively and literally. She belted out such hits as “Morning Train” and “For Your Eyes Only” and the video for “Strut” was the best Jack LaLane commercial I’ve ever seen not from Jack LaLane. In any event, while she looked great from [...]

Momlet of the Day: Elizabeth Taylor

By Jon Chattman | July 15th, 2008

Elizabeth Taylor has been a mess for so long, but there was a time she was a celebrated actress, a sane hottie with a nice mane. We salute Liz’s momlet, which was just about as good as White Diamonds.

Introducing…the Momlet

By Jon Chattman | July 12th, 2008

Out of the blue, the mustache movement is in overdrive lately but we at thecheappop aren’t solely about mustache envy. Females need some love too, so we’re looking to help resurrect another fad that has come, gone, come back again, and then, well, went away again. It’s time to bring back “the Momlet” or the [...]
