In addition to the above, the "
Ruy Lopez" is a
hair style much favored by
Bryan Ferry in
1973: It's a combination of a
DA and a
mullet.
Strong men have bitten their own legs off in fear at the sight of it.
Fortunately, the "
Ruy Lopez" cut was
banned by international treaty in
1975. There are now 112
signatories to the
Ruy Lopez Ban Treaty, notable holdouts being
South Africa,
France, the
People's Republic of China,
Syria, and
North Korea. With the recent passing of hardline
hepcat Hafez Assad and the accession of his son
Bashar Assad, observers of the
Middle Eastern scene expect that
Syria will soon join the
ban in order to promote better
trade relations with the
US and
Europe.
Jennifer Lopez was
unavailable for comment at
press time, but she has
outspokenly supported the
ban on several occasions.
