Tag Archive for: facial hair contest

The facial hair “contest” ended on Friday (though voting stayed open up through today). I’ve tallied all the votes (from here and twitter) and have come up with a winner. It appears as if the voters wanted me to have a Van Dyke. The thing is, that’s pretty much what I have now, the only difference is I keep mine trimmed shorter than what a Van Dyke apparently is. I shall maintain my current style, though I was kind of hoping the Fu Manchu or The Zappa would win. Maybe next time.

Ok, it’s not really a contest. The only thing you win is the gratification of seeing me make a fool out of myself. I’ve decided that I’m going to let the folks on Twitter (and commenter here) decide which facial hair style I should wear. I will grow/shave my facial hair to match whatever the winning choice is then post a picture of it up on here and flickr. What are the choices? Well, I’m glad you asked. Take a look at these fine examples (image from dyers.org).

The only catch is I will not do a full beard (come on, it’s going to be summer in St. Louis. That’s just cruel!) and the Super Mario looks pretty much impossible. You can vote by commenting here or sending me a reply on twitter

UPDATE:There’s now a poll, so submit your vote!
