Monkeytail beards.

Hilarious and repellent. Via ALOTT5MA, which also made look at these pictures of Adam Lambert. Try to resist.

Ann Althouse said...: It must be that guys with beards decide to shave them off and then for a joke, do a partial shave, which they only keep long enough to make a few people laugh. It *must* be.; 4/30/11, 5:51 PM
SteveR said...: Ann I thought the same thing; 4/30/11, 5:54 PM
Freeman Hunt said...: Althouse, I think you're right.

I know a lot of guys who left Old West style handlebar mustaches on for a few weeks after shaving their beards. That's kind of fun.; 4/30/11, 6:10 PM

I think it's rather fun, in a way, but I suppose it herald's some horror when men start to spend inordinate amounts of time adorning themselves. Makes me think of the victorian historical romances I've been reading. The fun ones are all about the men spending an hour to get their hair just so or their cravat perfect.

Beards that are just let go aren't that hard, but a beard with any sort of design involved is high maintenance.; 4/30/11, 7:00 PM
Synova said...: I suppose I mean that the first picture looks far more purposeful than the others. The others look more accidental.

Anonymous said...: Fun and shock value. When I was a youngster, I did a lot of 'STUFF' trying to get noticed. As long as you grow out of this stage it is not a problem. But....Now, that 'STUFF' gets recorded for posterity and can hang around your neck causing problems later. Be careful!!!; 4/30/11, 7:22 PM
Synova said...: A tidy monkey tail beard seems like a better way of getting attention than the spiked collar and gauges.

This is not the sort of thing that someone in my condition (beer-drunk) should look upon.

Do you have any idea, the nightmares that this will cause?; 4/30/11, 9:43 PM
