I can grow a beard and you can't (prefer you not to) so once again men can assert their superiority, their difference and show it's not all about nurture but nature.<br /><br />I didn't like them, beards, till I realised it was all about this: distinction, men finding their feet again, their difference. Something about the Muslim an'all.

I am reduced to curmudgeonly grumping about it and to having my children gang up on me and throw out the same smug shibboleths I used to direct at my father over long hair. They assure me covering one's body with permanent dark spidery messes says nothing---absolutely nothing--about the character beneath.<br /><br />Nige, those thick beards can be cool when they work. How about the utterly bizarre fashion of two or three days of facial hair combined with stylish business dress and ultra-thorough grooming that includes full body and even skull depilation?Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836910211382887430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-17996064686131596692014-03-21T10:05:31.326+00:002014-03-21T10:05:31.326+00:00Now that sounds rather stylish, Waldonymous...Now that sounds rather stylish, Waldonymous...Nigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314891387515045404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-65426009415852027082014-03-21T04:02:13.284+00:002014-03-21T04:02:13.284+00:00In the hipster precincts of the US, the tonsorial ...In the hipster precincts of the US, the tonsorial trend you describe is sometimes accented with a tinted monocle.Waldonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-47535690232223252202014-03-20T13:03:10.048+00:002014-03-20T13:03:10.048+00:00Brit has a fine description of one such bearded tw...Brit has a fine description of one such bearded twonk in this Diary piece...<br />http://thedabbler.co.uk/2014/02/dabbler-diary-the-shoreditch-iago/Nigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314891387515045404noreply@blogger.com
