A mustache is far more than a sign that your bud is bored with shaving! A peek into a history book or haute fashion magazine reveals that generations of gentlemen have expressed their character and creativity with a curly accent atop their lips. In this trimmed-down sequel to his first bristley book, “One Thousand Beards" author Allen Peterkin examines the cross-cultural significance of the mustache with chapters on hunky historical figures who touted a tea strainer, folks who flaunted facial hair abroad, celebrity whiskers that are worthy of the spotlight, and famous athletes who sported a 'stache. It even features an index of unique styles for identifying whiskers in the wild, a calendar of worldwide competitions, as well as a glossary of sophisticated synonyms for those moments when “mustache” simply won’t suffice. With inspirational quotes from mustachioed role models punctuating each smile-worthy paragraph, this paperback is an essential companion for all those dapper dudes in your life, shadow-lipped little brothers, and, of course, your distinctive dad!
