All fire alarms in my workplace are being tested today, and it's damn annoying. I should have brought earplugs. I'm using the piercing noise as an excuse to ignore my work tasks for the moment and gratify my latest obsession - mustaches. Occasionally I'll develop a strong fascination with a completely random topic - a few months ago it was tin robot toys from the '50s and, by default, mecha anime.
I've been searching online for a well-illustrated book dealing with the history of facial hair, but very few seem to exist. What the hell, maybe I'll write my own.
Look at these dashing mustaches:
See, Burt Reynolds is NOT the only actor to sport a mustache, and to do it well.
Actually, I'm not at all sure why I suddenly find mustaches so riveting. I doubt I would ever date anyone with a mustache - clean shaven boys are oh-so-nice - but I do like looking at them.
My best friend surprised me with a lovely mustache of my own:
The matching eye shadow was completely unplanned - maybe it's a BFF thing.
To conclude, I find mustaches enthralling because they're extremely versatile. Mustaches come in many varieties. They can be droll, suave, sinister, and yes, manly. With some mustaches, there's a hint of androgyny. Growing a mustache is typically a female's worst nightmare (lunch lady upper lip hair!), but is practically a rite of passage for young men. Mustaches - and their wearers - have often figured prominently in the realms of politics and entertainment. All right, I'll shut up now.
But I totally needed a mustache here so that I could channel that vaudeville comic look, circa 1905.
