Goodbye, Mustache!

I shaved my beard off last Thursday evening since I had a healthy dose of spring fever, and decided it would be fun to leave the mustache. And then I decided it would be more fun to curl up the ends into a handlebar.

Oh, the reaction I received…

Mainly it boiled down to men loving it, wanting me to keep it. I think mainly because they couldn’t grow one themselves. Women seemed to like it generally but laughed at me. Granted, these were my friends (imagine seeing your friend appear with a handlebar mustache suddenly). I resisted buying a red Hawaiian shirt and a Detroit Tigers hat, and shaved last night. It was good to see my face again.

Though I think I actually rocked that mustache well. I kind of miss it.
