Beard Community and Moustaches
Why do people wear such things on their faces? This lens is committed to raising the issue of the moustache as a window on the soul, and as a device for expressing personal identity.
Since the first humans had a choice between having hair on their upper lip, or cutting their upper lip off with a flint, the way they have worn their 'hair up there' has helped to define who they are. Famous individuals, groups and societies, cultures and social movements have used the moustache to announce their intention to not be ignored, to stand up and say 'Yes, I look silly, but dammit, at least I look silly the way I want to.' They do not allow their detractors to choose a weak point in their physical appearance, they hand it to them on a plate - "I have a ludicrous moustache - please mock me for it". It is only the truly strong of character who can offer such opportunities to their enemies.
