I've recently become fascinated by the fact that men (most anyway) are able to cultivate these fabulous things on their faces. I am also a bit jealous. I'm making it my mission to dedicate this blog to exploring the history, function, and art of moustache.
Being the girly-girl that I am, I've not directly been able to experience all the wonders that adorn the upper lip. I have however have come close, it's amazing how even a stick on 'stache can create such character.
The fact that you can buy stick on moustaches for each day of the week says something about their recent rise in popularity. However despite the upswing in popularity, the novelty wax moustache of our youth has failed to make a strong comeback. I can't even find an image of one to show you, but I'm sure you can recall their playful chewy goodness.
One can make a moustache out of nearly anything as my good friend and artist Kari has discovered. Some folks, much to their surprise, find themselves moustached by careless eating habits. Foods such as milk and cotton candy are often culprits.
In the next few posts we'll look at some fellers who can grow real moustaches.
