I saw a guy yesterday that had an outstanding mustache. Unfortunately he was driving a car and I didn't have my camera with me anyway. He was an older fella (probably my age - or younger) with a tan face and a white, white mustache. One of those Foo Man Choo things. Striking.
Then I started thinking about facial hair; in particular, 'staches. Petey had one way back in the day. It didn't last terribly long and it was decades ago so I can't remember how I felt about it.
Are you married to a mustache? Currently dating one? Those questions are for the ladies. If so, your thoughts, please.
For the men: do you have one? How many years have you been sportin' it? Do you feel like it plays a significant role in your identification?
I like them. Not the long, scraggily ones, though. I have been unfortunate enough to be seated across the table from one of the way too long ones and I was transfixed. Couldn't take my eyes off it. Food gets stuck in there. The constant napkin swiping. Ugh!
Then I wondered if he smelled his meal for the rest of the day. And then I wondered about the poor thing he was probably going to kiss later on. Double ugh!
Have you ever known a guy who had a mustache or beard for many years and decided to go naked? If it's just a mustache removal it takes a while before people can figure out what is different. If the beard went bye-bye, you're like "who's the new guy over there by the punch bowl?"
I'll close this blog up with a very profound observation: facial hair for men can be a good look. Not so much for women.
I have always thought mustaches were really sexy- Couldn't get my ex to grown one, tho'.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm with you, Ellen...they need to be well groomed. Soft, not like those that the Walrus' have- lol
Sometimes I think they're saving "leftovers" for the next meal. ha!
DeleteI'm not a fan of cookie dusters. They're irritating to grow, maintain and live with.
ReplyDeletehahaha, "cookie duster." That's a new one for me.
DeleteI am anti-facial hair on anyone. Of course, well maintained eyebrows are fine. ;)
ReplyDeleteNo "Andy Rooney" brows? Ah, come on. They were cute on him. Admit it.
DeleteA friend of mine had facial hair for years. Realized that his kids had never seen him without, so shaved without notice. The whole family cried when they saw him - his wife said he looked rather obscene!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of guys doing that and scaring their babies.
