Secret Mustaches

There’s something about the mustache. Some folks sport it well (Tom Selleck, Alex Trebek) and can look just as dashing without it - naked for a while, but we got used to a mustache-less Trebek. Others opine in song about their desire for the ‘stache, take Jimmy Buffet's ballad for example: "I wish I had a pencil thin mustache." Fresh from a Fung Wah trip last month we overheard talk that hipsters in NYC were donning the upper lip cover right and left. It wouldn’t be at all surprising, we'd seen quite a few ourselves.

If the mustache isn’t going to work for you in everyday life you can always go for the finger mustache. Not just wiggling your finger under your nose anymore, the last year has seen a variety of mustaches inked on index fingers. Of course it was bound to be labeled ‘so yesterday’ at some point – probably just about the time JB did this Fox 25 spot (video below) back in January about a Providence tattoo artist who’s been giving people the ‘stache job for months. Boston shed some finger tatt tears at the convention last September – we’ve got another four months until we find out what’s in store this year.
