Pencil Mustache

[=ritzy=]

here's one I found from this past christmas..

Sorry the picture's so small. But you can see the general shape I was going for..I wish it would fill in more. I get so impatient sometimes and end up shaving it. I should hold out 'till it fill up and lays nicely. Any suggestions gents (and ladies)? Yay or nay?

Yay...I have always been a fan of the pencil mustache..It looks really good on you.

Dig that look, man. Very clean.

We'll have to have an I.E. get together sometime (see my locale, neighbor )

rikrdo, thanks for the compliment. Wow! Yucaipa?! No way! That's great! I thought I was alone all the way out here, in the boonies. Yes, a get-together of local loungers should be done.

Errol Flynn because he used to hula dance naked in front of the window for the girls at the factory gates opposite. He wouldn't have dared without his pencil moustache.

Very nice. Quite simple really. Use mascara with a litte eye brow type brush. Gently, that is.

As well as many famous singers adn actors. While the moustache was and still is popular in Mexico and latin america, coupled with the fact that many Latinos are of indiginous blood ,so they do not grow full thick moustaches, so you can imagine how popular the pencil moustache was and is. In fact, amongst Latinos, it is not unusual to see a young guy sporting a sharp thin moustache mainly because that is just what he can grow.

That's true, about how some Latinos sport thin mustaches due to the Indian blood (i.e., many Mexicans and Central Americans). Interesting, though, that we still refer to those with Indian blood as "Latinos." To me, the French were wrong in first using that term in Mejico, as an attempt to create a bond between themselves and the Mexicans, whose government they were about to take over. That's like calling me "Anglo," just because I'm from the U.S. and English is my native language, but I'm of southern European ancestry. But then, I know that comment is...fftopic:
