To Beard or Not to Beard?

GiggleSugar — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 04:00:00 -0800

Men's facial hair has always been an enigma to me. With all the options out there - from beard to mustache to soul patch (shudder) to goatee to side burns - how does a dude decide? It never occurred to me that an agonizing day of windowsill moping, reflection dissection, and chanting was involved. Men are so vain.

When it Comes to Facial Hair, What Attracts You?

Men have facial hair - it's an annoying fact of life that they need to deal with just as we women have to deal with the nuisance of leg hair.

Some guys shave it all off so their face is soft and smooth, some guys let it get stubbly and scruffy for that sexy laid back look, and some guys grow it out and trim it like facial landscaping.

Every woman has her preference, so I'm curious to know what you like...

November is National Beard Month, so I thought I'd gather together 15 of the finest celebrities with beards - and a few who might not be so fine. Who do you think looks best with a beard, and who needs to find a straight razor, pronto?

The Beard (the Other Kind) in Pop Culture

TresSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:28:02 -0800

It's National Beard Month and that doesn't just mean facial hair. Not to us anyway! A whole other beard genre's been growing since the middle of the 20th century - the gay cover-up beard, which is slang for a person of the opposite sex used as a cover for a gay partner. At its best, the beard is mutually beneficial to both partners. At its worst? A life of lies. For a long time the term was as secretive as its roots, but I've been hearing it more and more to describe not only real-life marriages, but also TV and movie couplings.

Beard Alphabets and More!

As a self-described dork, I say with pride that I love fancy fonts and creative alphabets. I wish I could type letters to people using the beard alphabet you see up there, or maybe the butterfly wings alphabet in the gallery below.

Product of the Day: Beard Cap

GiggleSugar — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:02:00 -0800

It's still super-cold in many parts of the country, so it's important to protect your head with a good hat. Some people say hats confer character - why not a beard and mustache? Introducing: the Beard Cap. I think this would be particularly awesome if worn by a woman, namely me.

Flirt Alert! "Beardie" the Bearded Dragon

GiggleSugar — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 03:00:00 -0800

At first glance, this looks like your everyday bearded dragon vid. Big whoop. But it's a tribute video to one cute reptile. Beardie here was a ham. In this vid, he pulls out the guitar, some legos, and-the clincher-gives bedroom eyes. Oh jeez, I'm blushing. (R.I.P. Beardie!)

What Facial Hair Do You Prefer on a Man?

Even though November is National Beard Month, not all women are fans of a furry face. Maybe you prefer the smoothness of a freshly shaved face, or the edgy look of a barley-there scruffy goatee. Then again, you might be a fan of the ironic hipster mustache.

Weigh in on your favorite look for a man, and make sure you don't miss our slideshow of celebrity hotties who manage to pull off their beards . . . for the most part at least!

Product of the Day: The Hierarchy of Beards Poster

GiggleSugar — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 12:00:00 -0800

There's a special place in my heart for beard-related products, and popular culture appears to have joined in on the lovefest for all things furry faced. Take this Hierarchy of Beards poster. How else are you going to know that at the top of the beard hierarchy, there's the awesomely named "flapwings" beard, or the "chin-muffler." Or how about the "wispy wiggins" or the menacing "meat grinder?" It would be pretty awkward to kiss someone with face fur like this.

DIY Hair Transplant

GiggleSugar — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:12:12 -0700

Here's one thing we don't have to worry about, ladies - going bald! (I can't use "ladies" now without thinking of Demetri Martin's claim that you can make anything sound 100 percent creepier by just adding "ladies" to the end.) Anyway, this guy decided to take his receding hairline into his own hands by creating a partial toupee using the clippings from his beard and sideburns which he then glues onto his head with Elmer's. I guess if you tackle your male pattern baldness as a crafts project, you can have some fun while freaking out about going bald.
