Why this you
might ask...well I might have forgotten to mention that Dave is growing a
moustache. He figured that he'd be able to grow this thing and shave
it off when he got home without anyone being the wiser....he forgot of
course that I'm going to have photographic evidence of it...I actually
might even suggest he keep it long term...I don't mind it on him. A
little too early to make a definitive judgement...we'll soon see.
Moustache Beginnings
Moustaches
have been theoretically possible since flint razors where first
fashioned around 30,000 B.C, although it’s unknown whether or not Stone
Age man sported the first ever example of upper-lip topiary.
The moustache is usually a proud signifier of
impending pubescent transformation; it is an effective visual marker for
the journey from boy to manhood. In the past, the thickness of a man’s
moustache denoted military rank and experience, with new recruits making
do with wispy whiskers, while seasoned commanders could show off
luscious beards.
Notable MoustachesFacial hair as an indicator of villianry has been perpetuated in modern fiction and is up there with an English accent as a signpost of immoral intentions; examples include Daniel Day-Lewis's Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York and Bugs Bunny's nemesis Yosemite Sam.
The 1980s were the last time the moustache was truly fashionable; Tom Selleck’s Magnum P.I. had an iconic chevron moustache, which only added to his sex appeal, while professional wrestler Hulk Hogan defied conventional wisdom and somehow managed to get away with a bleached blond horseshoe 'tache.
