Moustaches

Hey...guys, breaking news. Dorchester has posted their Mr. Romance 2008 contest. You have to check this out. Some of them even have facial hair. Oh yeah, I'm thinking good tickles here!

How do you ladies feel about moustaches? No, I’m not talking about on us! That is another subject for a whole new day. I’m talking about on our men.

Do you like ‘em? Love ‘em? Detest ‘em? Do you find them . . . kissable?

Personally, I mean . . . they kind of tickle, and I guess a tickle could be good, or bad, depending on the individual’s feelings on certain types of tickles.

Now I’ll admit, I’ve seen some hot guys with moustaches. I’m thinking Tom Selleck in his younger days. Moustaches that could lead to a kiss-me-now mood and possibly end with very good tickle. Ahh, but I’ve seen other mustaches that look as if someone could hide a small child under all that hair. Moustaches that could lead to a keep-that-thing-away-from-me mood and end with a very bad tickle.

Just out of curiosity, I did a quick Google search on moustaches and found that there was a lot I didn’t know about this hairy little subject.


For example, we have the standard Handlebar moustaches, not to be confused with Walrus moustaches, or the Fu Manchu Moustaches, (Now does that not sound like someone is hiding dinner under their hairy lip?) and then there’s the interesting one called, “Friendly Muttonchops.” I’m really not kidding!

Oh, but I’m just getting started, because I nearly choked on my coffee when I read about the “Pornstache.” Then there’s the “El Bigota.” Is it me, or do those two not sound as if they’re one in the same? I know you think I’m making this crap up, but nope and just to prove it: Pornstache


Now, you might be wondering what brought up this whole subject. I’m very relieved to tell you that it is NOT because hubby is thinking about growing his own Pornstache. Because he really doesn’t have what it takes. (I’m talking facial hair, guys! But you do know my hubby is going to kill me for this one, don’t you?)

Nope, hubby’s not thinking about a moustache. You see, Faye Hughes and I got the cover for our book, The Everything Guide To Writing a Romance Novel, a September 08 release. And much to our surprise, we discovered that Fabio was on the cover and he had grown a moustache.


Okay . . . we may be stretching it just a bit by calling our cover model, Fabio. But, you gotta admit, the similarities are there. Look at the nose. The long flowing hair. The puffy shirt with the lack of buttons. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Fabio wear a shirt with buttons, have you? (Not that I’m complaining!) And finally the . . . the big sword.

Anyway, after careful consideration, we decided he must be Fabio’s long lost cousin – the cousin who didn’t quite have what it took to do the whole modeling career.


So . . . what are your thoughts on moustaches? Kissable, not kissable? Do you know anyone with a Pornstache?
