Great Mustaches in History

Credit given were credit is due, but never lose sight that one day you could be a part of this rap. Inspiring!

Mr. Stache

This is perhaps the best short video ever. It is the whole truth, up until about the 6 minute mark and then it only becomes part truth. I loved it.

Great Mustaches

As an addition to the previous post, the following.
While Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck never went out of style for some of us, I realize that that the rising generation needs new role models and men whom they can idolize.

The following are men who have boldly borne the banner of the 'stache. In no particular order.
(Mustaches were selected for their aesthetic beauty as well as the notoriety of the face on which it appears. They were also selected because of the difficulty in growing and adversity which the owner of the prospective upper lip faces in his field of employment. Also for their appropriateness. Sometimes they are just appropriate and sometimes just freaking awesome).

Matthew McConaughey - While I do not respect the man or his movies, there is no denying that he is in more chick flicks than any man alive. My guess is there is a reason for that. Even so, the walrus on his face is magnificent and an inspiration to us all.












Robert Downey Jr. - After returning to society from rehab this man's career absolutely exploded. One reason for the change... he grew from his mistakes, became a man, and started growing facial hair. If he can do it you can. Man up and grow one.














Anchorman Ron Burgundy - This movie appeared at the time when we needed it most. Ron Burgundy showed us that the man who delivers us the news is no man at all with out a mustache. People know him. He has many leather bound books. His office smells of rich mahogany. You can have this too.









David Beckham - No one has had as many hairstyles as David Beckham, and through it all facial hair has been a constant part. Even after these radical styles, I'm told he is still one of the "sexiest" men alive. And hey, if a mustache is good enough to get Posh Spice all for yourself, what have you got to loose.












Hulk Hogan - A relic from the days of Selleck and Reynolds, Terry Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan, made a return to the lime light in recent times. Some appearances with the WWE and some lame reality shows to his name have reminded us of Hulkamania. His 'stache can be summed up in one word brother. Amazing.













James Franco - Despite many flaws, I included Mr. Franco because I like him as an actor. He can't really be blamed for how bad the SpiderMan series really was. For our purpose he gives hope to the men who grow spotty facial hair and scraggly mustaches. Even scraggly 'staches can look good.



















Christian Bale - Batman. Chicks dig it. Enough said.




















Derrick Rose - To show I'm not racist, here is the likely NBA 2010/2011 MVP. Race plays no part in mustache acceptability.



























Johnny Depp - I don't particularly find him attractive but then I'm not a girl. I can't, however, fault the man for much. He's made boatloads of money recently, in spite of make "Benny and June". One reason for such success, like Mr. Downey, the trademark mustache.














Colin Farrell - Can you really argue that the man just looks good. Admittedly he should ditch the earrings, as all men should, but this scruffy-looking tough guy makes mustaches good. Just watch one of his movies.


















Hey Jude Lawstache. No more remains to be said.

Last and perhaps greatest:
Rod Kimble - Stuntman

The Reality of the Mustache

The mustache has been weighing heavily on my mind for quite some time now. It is no secret that I enjoy growing one and displaying it for all to see. I can even tell you why I enjoy it. One reason, and I'm sure you have inferred this already, is that I like to see people's reactions. However, this conceited and vain reason is in the extremely small minority. I genuinely like how mustaches look. Especially my own! (It makes a legendary combo when I grow a mullet, but that is a topic for another time). The only other condition that plays into my growing a mustache is that I do not like shaving. This is nearly immaterial since I do not grow a full beard, but do, in fact, shave in order to have a mustache.

I do not know where my love affair for the mustache came from. I do not remember watching Tom Selleck in Magnum P.I. or any of Burt Reynolds movies so it can't have been from celebrity influence. My only thought is that it has come from growing up with a father who has sported one his whole life. In my whole life, I think that I have seen his bare upper lip a grand total of 2 times. Hes a good man, my da, and I don't think there is anyone better to model my life after. I think that this must be the reason I have grown attached to the mustache.

However, my attachment to the mustache does not seem to be shared by many. It seems that the circumstances making the growing of mustaches acceptable have become extremely stringent in the last 20 years, but why? I have been asking around and it would appear that the vast majority of those of us who have parents who grew up in the 50's, 60's, and even 70's, all grew up with fathers, uncles, grandfathers, brothers, and, in not so rare as you would hope cases, aunts with mustaches. So why then have they become socially unacceptable? Can it really be that at a certain age a mustache goes from rapist to refined? No there isn't. Because three months of the year Mustache May or Mustache March or Movember it is acceptable for all men to grow a mustache. And every year, when those months roll around, thousands of men answer the call ... but only for the month.

I issue the call for all men to unite, and grow your mustaches with pride at any time of year! Shrug off the stereotypes and become men once more!



Just some suggestions.
