Facial Hair

Every couple of months I get the urge to experiment with facial hair. Occaisionally, this turns out to be a disaster. Well, I'm currently fascinated with the late 19th century...truly the golden era of men's facial hair styles, and so I had the grand idea of trying this design:





Unfortunately, it didn't come out so well. I made a mess of it, and as I tried to fix things..I made them worse. At this point, there wasn't much left to do but admit failure and start from scratch. Now most people who know me, are aware that I almost NEVER have a clean-shaven face (I've got strong opinions on men with no facial hair....you know who you are!!!!). Anyway, for me it's kind of like taking your clothes off...The last time I did this (about 7yrs ago), my friend Dave Drotos told me that I resembled the retro toy "Inchworm". Of course I didn't really like this but secretly admitted he might be onto something. Anyway, since this may not happen again for several years, I decided to have a little fun.

You decide for yourselves:

Hurumph!! I don't think you quite make it to "inchworm" status... but it's really funny...

I totally had that exact inchworm as a kid. It was a bicycle of sorts; with wheels and a seat.
