The Tache

So the tache is back.  Don't believe me?  Don't want to believe me?  Well it may be tragic, it may scream "I'm a rapist" from a hundred yards away, it may make you yearn to take a razor to the face of your nearest and dearest, but it's back.  And it's being embraced by men of all ages.  

Admittedly, the tache has a bad history.  It's associated with Hitler, Stalin, the 70s.  None of which serve to recommend it as a fashion choice.  But what about Clarke Gable, Burt Reynolds, Salvador Dali and the awesome campness that was Freddie Mercury?  

I must admit, I've given this a lot of thought (alright, I've given this a lot of thought given the fact that I'm a lesbian and it really doesn't effect me at all).  Upon reflection, I've decided that I approve of the moustache.  It has an old fashioned charm.  Though, I will admit that few people can pull it off satisfactorily.  Of the above gentlemen, I think only Tom Selleck (and yes, I know that's a really old picture of him, but doesn't he look dashing?) and Orlando Bloom (who looks rather like a young Tom Selleck there, which might explain things) look really awesome with a hairy lip.  Sean Connery could pull off the tache when he was younger, but now he looks better with the full beard.   And Brad Pitt just looks like a skeezy tosser. 

Anyhow, hurrah for the re-emergence of the tache!  I'm off to convince my male friends (and my less fortunate female friends) to grow one..
