Mustache Gets Cop Suspended

Oh my, how ironic. An Ohio police officer was suspended for not trimming his "General Custer" 'stache. I thought cops and mustaches were like . . . cops and donuts. Maybe they're trying to shake their stereotype in favor of a more clean-cut image, who knows? Though I've gotta say, I've seen some mustaches in my day, but never one that required disciplinary action! Read more about it here.

Product of the Day: Mustache With a Mustache

GiggleSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Imagine how much cuter There Will Be Blood would have been if Daniel Day-Lewis had sported one of these bad boys. The Son of Moustachio pillow/toy/handy disguise has the machismo of not one, but two glorious handlebar beauties, all in one snuggly-soft package.

If he can pull a halftime show out of that wasp nest, then he's got the job.

When it Comes to Facial Hair, What Attracts You?

DearSugar — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 10:00:00 -0700

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...

Introducing: The Mustache Dance

I dig mustaches, and I dig dancing. Put them together and it's sure-fire entertainment. But is it better than monkeys doing the River Dance? I'll let you decide.

Guess Who's Sportin' a Creepy 'Stache?

With that mustache he's been rocking lately, could Brad Pitt be gunning for another Playgirl magazine cover? He's not the only one: Celebrities seem unusually drawn to mustaches lately. Brad wears it well, but sometimes the result is a little too "I've got some candy for you" creepy. So can you match the 'stache with the man?

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!

Turn On or Turn Off: Mustaches

DearSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 11:00:00 -0700

George Clooney seems to be sporting a mustache these days, and it changes his look completely! I don't think there's any denying that he's still incredibly attractive, but I've got to say, I'm not a fan of his lip accessory. It might just be me, but mustaches seem to make guys look a little smarmy. I prefer my men cleanly shaven, but what about you? Are mustaches a turn on? A turn off? Or does it completely depend on who's wearing it?

If You Had To...

The biennial World Beard and Mustache Championships are taking place in Anchorage, Alaska next year. Here are a couple of the American contenders. Not all women hate beards, but these two would try the patience of even the most open-minded of women! On the left, we have former pizza delivery professional Great Burke Kenny, who is pursuing his studies at Evergreen College in Olympia, Washington. On the right, meet Jack Passion, "artist, musician, and beardsman." (He is 23-years-old, if you can believe it!) Who would you lock lips with at the risk of irritating your skin if you had to...

Ask a Grad Student: Should I Stop Snooping On My Boyfriend?

TresSugar — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 08:30:00 -0700

Conventional Wisdom is a different kind of advice column. Your questions will be answered by people from all walks of life rather than by advice experts. Today, a graduate student will offer her common sense advice. You can submit questions here.

Today's Question:

Dear Grad Student,

I've been going out with this guy for almost two years. He actually blocked me on Facebook once because he claimed that I was asking too much about his updates (like his exes writing to him) so he removed me. I created an alias and became friends with him and this girl so I could see what he was saying. What I saw made me so angry, I confronted him. I always ended up apologizing because I was the one who had to admit I invaded his privacy. I deleted that account.

One day at my place, he left his account signed in on my computer so I checked his inbox and saw that he was still flirting with his ex f•ckbuddy and he was telling her things like his loins burn for her and they missed each other. He was also inviting girls for coffee and dates. I again confronted him, and he told me that some of the things I'd read he'd said during the month we had broken up. In any case, he changed his password.

Now I am using Gmail where Facebook notifications are sent, and there are still things there that drive me crazy. I don't want to be a jealous, insecure bitch, so I want to know if someone thinks I should go on snooping, or will I go to hell if I keep it up?

Dear Snoopy,

As I write this, I picture you sitting in your car outside your boyfriend’s apartment in a hat, sunglasses, and a glued-on mustache waiting to catch him red-handed with one of his paramours. I say this not to be mean or make light of what you’re going through, but to get you to think about what you have been reduced to in this relationship: you are a desperate private investigator instead of a girlfriend.

Before I address what you’ve found out, I want to say a little something about trust. It’s a cliché but it’s true: trust is the foundation of a relationship, and without it, you really have nothing. You don’t say anything in your question about what your two-year relationship was like leading up to your Facebook and Gmail investigations. Was it great, and then something he did made you suspicious? Or are you just a naturally suspicious (and insecure) person, who, during the course of her investigations, found out the boyfriend was flirting with exes and making coffee dates with other women?

In any case - here we are. You are two years into a relationship with a man who sends other women sexual messages and invitations for coffee and who has blocked you on Facebook, and you seem to be spending all of your time trying to catch him saying something incriminating. Is this really the kind of relationship you want?

If you believe your boyfriend when he says that he did this flirting when you were broken up, you need to sit down with him and have a frank conversation about your fears and doubts. And then stop snooping on him. It’s not that you’ll go to hell for continuing to snoop or even that it’s ethically messed up - although it is. You should stop snooping for your own psychological health. It sounds like you’re addicted to invading your boyfriend’s privacy in the hopes you’ll find something that will hurt you so that you can feel bad about yourself both for being potentially cheated on and also for being a "jealous insecure bitch."

If you really think this guy is stepping out on you, why not just break up with him and heal your own hurt? Your problems here are bigger than his Facebook updates. You need to feel secure within yourself before you can trust that you can be in a relationship without having to snoop to feel safe. A healthy relationship involves being with someone you trust - until he has done something to betray that trust. Then, you have to make a healthy decision either to walk out or try to make it work.

Take off your private investigator hat and investigate your own motivations and behaviors and learn what a solid, healthy relationship looks like. (Maybe with the help of a therapist?) Then you'll be able to make the right decision.
