BEARDS AND MUSTACHES

I have always had a secret/very obvious obsession for the classic beard and mustaches

Since birth I have been surrounded by beards being that my father had a full on ridiculous one since my birth until the age of 11. I enjoy a southern gentleman soley just for the fact that they normally come with not only a gentle personality but long hair with an adorable matching long beard/mustache combination. Most of my favorite musicians also have beards as well ie:

I was fortunate enough to discover the website www.beards.com. There you can learn how to grow and groom one, read success stories, view many the different styles, get your very important questions about beards answered, and entertain yourself for a mere 15 minutes maybe. Sean M. Johnson is a featured member on this site who graduated from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston who's major inspiration for his work is photographic documentation of beards and beard growth including his own. Photos from this project can be viewed at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/beardgrow/. Definatly one of my most favorite ideas yet to date. This website offers a look into the actual WORLD O' BEARDS by showing the different styles, shapes, and colours of the world. Featuring beards of Africa, Asia, Austrailia, Europe, North and South America.

If you are unfortunate and cannot grow one of these highly attractive assets, here are some alternative options
