the moustache blog

at mustaches of the nineteenth century, all your mustache curiosities and desires will be satisfied.

its proprietor writes:

"Dear Gentle Reader,
Many of the following pages have graphic and clear images of the masculine mustache in all its forms, both sublime and grotesque. My intent is not to shock or titillate, but merely to inform on the subject. The Nineteenth Century gave us many things, but above all it was a hotbed of facial hair experimentation and this is but a poor sampling of those many lost forms."

this "daily celebration of the golden age of upper lip hair" will cheer anyone up.

someone must plumb the depths of the moustache,

to faithfully represent the moustache in words.
pictures never do the moustache justice.
in painting a moustache over the idea of a moustache
the depths of the moustache are obscured.

few art historians would dare to substitute the mona lisa
for the notoriously unshakeable idea of the mona lisa
and with the moustache it is no different.

the once and for all essential curvature of the moustache
has very little to do with the moustache as a facial addition,
iffy at best.

only the facsimiles of moustaches can sustain us.
the moustache once removed and in its simplest form.
