In response to Katie's "cute" picture on her blog, I thought I'd share with you my favorite self-portrait:
No, that's not Tom Selleck (although I do see the resemblance), it's me after an entire week's worth of mustache growth a few months ago. With Katie out of town I decided to grow a mustache and felt really good about the results. I unfortunately have been plagued with a very thin beard (think 13-year-old Chicano), but despite Katie's dry heaves every time she sees these pictures, I think it's obvious that I reach my pinnacle of hotness when I go 'stache.
And in case you were wondering, I didn't do it the weak way (where you lazily grow out all your facial hair for a while, cut off the rest, take a few pictures, and then shave it off before you go to work). No, I did it the old fashioned, manly way, where you shave everything but the 'stache, go to work each day, face the double-takes and unspoken judgements from your co-workers, all in the name of doing with your upper lip what the good Lord intended for it.
I'll close the post with a few of my favorite 'stache poses.
The "Swindler":
And, the "Babysitter":
Yikes.

Oh my gosh. You're hilarious. "The babysitter" caused me to laugh out loud in my cubie.
Poor, sweet Katie.
Wow.
Just let it be known, were I still working at NI my judgments would be o-so-not-unspoken.
Really, really spoken. A lot.
Only one question, when is the "Babysitter" free to watch Isabella?
This one of the best/worst things I've ever seen. I salute you for your courage.
I rocked the 'stache once and my girlfriend at the time gave me the "it's me or the mustache" speech. Gee I'll miss her ...
Just stumbled upon this post.....I know your pain man.
I've been the Dread Pirate Roberts 5 years running for Halloween and end up giving in after 3 weeks of growth and darken it up in w/a dose of Kate's mascara (why am I admitting this?)
For now I've given up the stache and am going for the McSteamy look
(unfortunately it's a 13 yr old Chicano McSteamy)
