the Great Moustache Comeback?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

will the moustache ever comeback into fashion? Who has/had the greatest moustache youve ever seen? Dali? Magnum? Yer Uncle Bob ?Groucho Marx (the fact that is was painted on initially only made it better!)? Frank Zappa? Who would look good with a moustache (perhaps a nice "Handlebar"? Or is the moustache forever banned into the hallowed halls of crapness?

Jamie Theakston currently has a moustache (for a play he's in) and gorblimey, it just doesn't look very good.

Ladies - how do you feel about kissing (etc.) men with facial hair?

I think the Royal Fusillier look that Billy Childish is currently sporting is quite dashing:

Oh moustaches totally rock my world. The thin ones that curl up at the sides are the best. Simply because they totally fit in with my cane-carrying dapper man fantasy. Swoon.

Hmm, but you haven't answered my question.

The German word for moustache translates literally to "leash-beard".

With the appropriately haggard look from cocaine abuse or without?

haha it's gone Josh - I had one last summer, ALL summer, and the only record I have of it is pix taken on roof the afternoon of Sep 11... the big problem for moustache neophytes is to not fuck up with shaving/trimming it. after "evening it up" numerous times it would have looked Hitleresque had I continued in that vein... Stefan points to an alternative strategy that avoids these pitfalls... any moustache can be TOTAL classic, but not to be worn with typical t-shirts and indie clothing because then you just look like a fucking try-hard dork. if you're going to snazz it up, snazz it - a moustache, unlike a beard, is MORE work than just shaving, so recognize and go whole hog... "don't pull that thang out, unless you plan to bang"

I would never kiss a guy with a moustache, nor would I grow one. Blech.

― Sean (Sean), Friday, 18 October 2002 17:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't like kissing guys with moustaches. Or women with moustaches, come to that.

Is there a 'back hair' thread in ILE's future?

i had a moustache for a couple weeks but my sister kept giving me shit about it, i had to lose it. she was correct, in retrospect.

it was modelled on the mexican bandido style.

i dont think theres anyone in the world that looks better with a moustache. though if someone wanted to grow one and wax the ends for kicks, i say more power to them.
i still wouldnt kiss them, though.

Ben Weber looks better with a moustache.

Would you ever want to see Burt Reynolds without his moustache? I would not.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 19 October 2002 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Everybody knows that only good Burt Reynolds movies are the ones without the moustache.

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 20 October 2002 07:07 (twenty-two years ago)

*thinks* Like all two of them. Actually you might be right, except that The Cannonball Run disproves your theory comprehensively.

Rev W Awdry was mentioned on the children's programming thread and it reminded me of his son's Van Dyke look
