Willamette Week names Beard Revue the best single-subject blog of the moment!
Best Blogs
Our favorite single-subject blog of the moment is Beard Revue (beardrevue.com), the outlet of Portland designer Michael Buchino’s fascination with all things facial hair. Every day brings more beard news, beard whimsy and beard art —Buchino even curated an exhibition of the latter at the Tribute Gallery in April.
Holy crapola, everybody! THANK YOU, PORTLAND!!!

Each moustache equals about five crayons.

Speaking of moustaches on a stick, Amber Babcock makes prosthetic moustaches on a stick. They come in several different shapes and sizes, which means you can find the perfect one for weddings, funerals, Sadie Hawkins day or any old photobooth moment you may have. There’s even a kit to make your own.

I’m not sure by whose authority this day of honor is declared, but any excuse to whip out the summer ’stache is fine by me.
It should be noted that this chart is all too cramped. A personal favorite is still Fontstaches by Tor Weeks, a simple, elegant and creative chart for the typoholic in us all.
