Mustache

March 28, 2008

“I noticed the bushy sand-colored mustache that curled at his lips’ corners.” –from the novel, Mysterious Skin, by Scott Heim.

I decided it was time for a change, so I shaved off part of my Morgan Spurlock

I’ve had it since about 2005, I think.

Here’s a pic of the old look: rob-and-marilyn.JPG And a closeup: robs-morgan-spurlock.jpg

Now i’m sporting more of a Sam Elliott: (no pic of mine yet, but here is a lovely pic of Mr. Elliott)

I’m hoping to grow it thicker, kind of like a Magnum P.I., too (though mine’s a little longer):

When it grows a little thicker i’ll put up a picture of it.

Maybe i’ll even be able to get this mustache comb necklace from Cool seller, Makool, on Etsy:

I have to say, I think it’s kind of awesome (if a bit pricey, at $126.). Does anyone know where I can get a cheap knockoff? A Faux-Mustache Bomb Necklace like a Faux Fendi Bag? (my birthday’s coming at the end of April…)

Here are some other famous, classic mustaches:

    I would try eBay or a local antique shop for a cool mustache comb.
