This morning I noticed my mexi-stache stubble was becoming a strong contender as the focal point of my face (I think my streamline eyebrows are still the dominant facial feature). Unhappy with the obstruction on my upper lip I shaved it, but just the ’stache–I left the rest of my two-day shadow alone.
That’s right, I don’t really get a “five o’clock shadow.” It takes a few days before my face darkens, and even then it’s patchy, but I save on razors. Now I’m noticing that it’s coming in thicker, and I can only hypothesize that that’s because I’m paying bills on my own…or in other words I’m getting older. I’ve also been riding the bus more, and a lot of the passengers are hairy, so that could be rubbing off.
So is the mustache coming back? The only people than can pull it off seem to be the men who have sported one for 20+ years. My uncle, Cody’s dad, Tom Selleck, Rosie O’Donnell. They can pull it off. But recently I’ve been noticing a string of creepy bartenders trying to rock the fuzzy handlebars, and that’s just not right IMO. Leave it to the pros, gentlemen.
