Drink Up: Beerstache

Sure, beer cans keep beer fresher but bottles let you look fresh. Thanks to BeerStache bottle moustaches.

Look, they even distract from redeye:

Maybe you’ll see these at the Petaluma Whiskerino after-party on a bottle of Lagunitas. Come and find out October 9th.

BeerStaches come in five different colors and can even be custom printed. Would look hot in a Brew Holster Cult bottle holster. Just sayin’.

One Hot Tranny Mobile

Just in case your VW Bug thinks it’s a guy (it’s not). Or your giant pickup just isn’t quite sure which way it swings. There’s CarStache, CarLashes, and Truck Balls to set the record straight. Phew. (Thanks, Nicole)

Baby Moustache: “I Was Drunk” by Riva Starr / Noze

I’ll be honest, I simply cannot stand ads and videos with dancing babies. Even worse, talking dancing babies. Not. For. A. Second.

But these babies have moustaches. So I can stand it for about 30 seconds. (via Whiskerino)

Moustache: Questionable Grooming

Wonder Beard? Question Mark-Stache? The Riddler? Better yet, Shear Brilliance?

Whatever he calls it, let’s hope he brings it to Petaluma Whiskerino. (Thanks, Bob!)

Photoshop: Man Moustaches on Lady Celebrities

Moustaches on lady celebrities are better than lady beards on male celebrities—see any of Tom Cruise’s wives or Simon Cowell’s girlfriends. (*Explanation here.)

Watch: Jesse’s Magical Follicles

Wow. Some serious planning and facial hair went into this vid.

Makes my time lapse commute beard look more than a bit choppy by comparison. And makes my head hurt just thinking how he reverse engineered the whole thing. Cheers to MailChimp for using this to showcase their growth potential. (Thanks, Tim!)

Study: How Trustworthy Is Your Beard?

Just as certain ‘staches make you think of shady porn stars or shadier child molestors, your beard can also instill prejudgments. But not necessarily of the shady variety. The Chronicle of Higher Education did a study comparing the credibility of bearded men. Interesting.

Read the results on Good. (Thanks, Tim!)

Crafty: Moustache Crayons

Red, Brown, Yellow? Shouldn’t those be Ginger, Auburn, and Spencer-Spratt-Flesh-Beard-Colored Blonde?

Either way, My Friend Emily Mustache Crayons are rad and on sale in the Boing Boing Bazaar Makers Market.

I wonder if it’s the same mold Melissa used to make the Petaluma Whiskerino Moustache Pops? Hmm …
