Just recently there has been much twittering of the Louchetache. I’m not sure who started it, but I know that several of my followees have been on about it for a while. Since I hadn’t shaved in a week or so, I decided that, since I couldn’t think of a good reason, not to grow one, I would grow one. Common sense and self respect would mean that it wouldn’t stay on my face for long, but it would be sculpted at least briefly and just as importantly, photographed in situ.
So, I grew a beard. I’m sorry that I’m not smiling in this picture but I was having serious problems not grinning like a Cheshire Cat a the thought of what was to come…
But before I got to the required horseshoe, Frank Zappa, or more entertaining 70s Pornstar style, I thought that I’d try the good old, standard goatie. By the way, I have decided to keep some chest hair in these shots since it adds nicely to the 70s Pornstar look, I think.
Now, keeping a straight face was almost impossible at this point…
And you really can’t imagine what was going through my head next…
But since things were going from silly to stupid, there was just one more that I had to try…
I won’t do the accent…
And then even that went…
Now, this is the first time that I have been clean shaven this year. I shaved once last year too, but I’m trying not to make a habit of it. I am now desperate for my stubble to return and make me look vaguely human…

LMAO!! I had a good giggle looking at those shots... mmmmmm, trying to decide which one I liked the most...
Too funny! I do like the goatee... the louchetache - nope; the other versions of moustaches - no... even clean shaven, not so much. You look good with some stubble, Fammy. :-)
WV = invent... different personae to go with each 'phase' of facial hair??
Enjoy it while it's still dark! (-:
Yum, Fammers, you look good.
Helga: And? Which should I use when in you vicinity?
Ponita: Sorry, but I have decided that I *really* love the louchetache! I *am* that 70s pornstar. :-)
Kevin: Ah, darkness, my old friend...
Mrs P: But, Mrs P, the question is, good enough? Is it worth me getting my retrenching equipment out again...? ;-)
Pic 5 is similar to Richard Herring's new show "Richard Herring Hitler Moustache":

Um... I like the look of #2 best... I think I would collapse in a fit of giggles if you were anywhere near me as the second last one!!
That's two votes for the goatee... from women... you know you should always listen to the women, right, Fammy?
There's a saying, isn't there? 'In the eye of the beholder'??? My beholding eye really like the goatee. But I do like your usual all over stubble too. :-)
You're a braver man than I!
Number 3 reminded me of someone famous ... after searching my brain, I mentally put on sunglasses and longer hair and came up with Lemmy. I think it's a look that would suit you.
Number 5 reminded me of someone famous too, but I can't quite put my finger on who. Some figure of authority, I seem to recall, radiating a certain power. I'd stick with that ...
Ms S: Well, I kinda guess it would be.
Helga: That doesn't really help me to choose now, does it?
Ponita: Yes, OK seems to be 2 to the Goatie. I used to have a goatie many years ago. Must dig out that photo sometime...
Ro: Yes Lemmy, good one. Maybe I should go with that. A clue to Number 5. Sparks.
Hmmm ... no ... The Brother Mael was not who I was thinking of. He was, admittedly, a lot of fun but wasn't really a figure of authority. Nor was Charlie Chaplin (about whom I have to agree with Blackadder).
No, I just can't quite place it.
I'm off to update my blog with a plea for readers to pop over here to vote for number 5 ...
{WV="effete"}
My vote would be for pic 6 (smooth shaved) or v. v. small amount of stubble (as per profile pic) but I'm not sure whether my vote counts?
Do votes from *all* women count …?
