Faux facial hair fashion
September 23rd, 2009
The humble moustache has been around since Neolithic times, when Ugg began shaving with stone razors and Mrs Ugg grunted approvingly. It heralds the change from boy heard to man, because it is a symbol of masculinity and it has a host of variations from handlebar the oddity that is the ‘Dali’ to the Fu Manchu.
Fashion designer Cindy Liu shows her love of moustaches with her range of designer scarves featuring moustaches ‘Cowboy and Gangsta creations’. LeMoustache has also went for ‘hairy scarf chic’ with their deluxe curly creations on Etsy.
Of course if you aren’t quite ready for Gangsta style women’s scarfs, you could always play safe and try the new Hermes scarf collection with the stylish Libris logo for £150.
American Apparel went one step further with their facial hair fashion accessory and created the moustache mask or tache balaclava. Shown below In a Mini Tache or Major Tache style both £15 from American Apparel.
Not to be out done beardHead.com created these snowboarder masks called ‘the lumberjack look’ the masks cost of around $25. They also do a ladies version called ‘bunny’.
Of course it doesn’t just have to be men’s and ladies scarfs and hats, how about something functional like a purse. Caroline Ballhorn’s prosthetic beard bags have hidden pouches to keep credit cards or cash in. As Caroline puts it “its somewhere to put your change if your on a naked cycle race”.
Of course you might simply want to be proud to display your love of Facial hair faux, with no other purpose other than it being beautiful. If that’s the case then i made you a beard is your destination, Erin Dollar featured here sporting a rather snazzy ‘Villain Beard’ priced at $40, will make you a wonderful beard of any colour or texture.
So where does this leave the humble tache? Well facial hair and fashion have coexisted for centuries, I’m sure that this will continue to be a tache made in heaven
A Ban too far
October 9th, 2008

“Smokers should be banned from lighting up in their cars because of the danger to other passengers a lobby said yesterday. One incredible “fact” that was pulled out of the dicussion was that the pollution caused by one cigarette in a vehicle was AS BAD as enture pub filled with tobacco smoke. This “fact” was drawn together by Action on Smoking and Health.
The ban is “vital in cutting the exposure of children to the toxins in second-hand tobacco smoke” it said in a report.
But Simon Clark of pro-tobacco group Forest said smokers were facing a gritty war and wanted to end government interference once and for all. Its one thing looking out for women and mens health but its another to say that your not allowed to smoke in your own car.
What Not To Do With a Hot Tub

I have seen quite a few stupid act that have been performed in hot tubs, but this one really does take the lead. As you can see it is very dangerous and the person could injure himself to an extent that may end up paralysing him.
