I was listening to the radio on my way to work this morning and the “cool” radio guys were discussing how one guy looked really good with a mustache when he grew it for fun and that he should have kept it. This made me think about the revolution of mustaches as entertainment. In the last few years, I’ve really started to notice that a lot of people are using their ability to grow facial hair (mainly mustaches) for fun. Since a lot of people are enjoying this form of entertainment, I think that mustache fun has sort of plateaued. Here are ways to take mustache fun to the next level:

1) Wear your fun mustache for a year instead of only for a few days.

2) Don’t trim your fun mustache. Grow it out so that it’s a long fringe over your lips and past your chin and down your chest. A mustache that also serves as a beard is double the fun. If you don’t have the ability to grow your fun mustache this long, get extensions (play with colors).

3) Wear a top hat and spats with your fun mustache. Slap people with your glove and call them “cads” when offended. You might as well take it all the way.

3) Instead of laughing along with others as they acknowledge your fun mustache, keep a serious expression and start cracking your knuckles. Fun mustache + scaring your friends = tons of fun.

4) Hey, why even grow a mustache? Just wear a fake one. Wear a fake mustache for a year or just to important events. For added fun - claim that it’s real.

Here’s a beard side note: people spend a great deal of time growing a beard to their desired level of beardiness. That means, all friends and family and co-workers get to comfortably ease into beard acceptance. But what happens when the beard owner decides not to sport a beard anymore? They hack it off and shave their faces smooth, thus shocking everyone. Perhaps these people should give the same courtesy as when they grew their beards and remove it in a gradual manner.
