These Hipster Beards

[Section_31]

[cloggypop]

I've had my beard for the last 6 years- hardly hipster!

All hipsters claim to be first.

All hipsters claim to be first.

 

that's what it's all about.

In the mid 90s I was working in Portsmouth. At lunchtime, mooching around the shops, you'd often see a middle-aged woman, very well dressed, often in a fur coat, with a full and extremely hirsute beard, tottering about. It was actually quite disturbing at first.

Stig has been rumbled.

no way could he grow a beard like that.

Before you asked her for a date? Is this her?

She did have a certain allure...

I had a similar reaction to a woman I knew through work who dressed in a kd laing style. I hadnt seen her for a while and then spotted her in town with very neatly trimmed facial hair. I'm rarely bothered by people's dress but my brain couldnt seem to compute her moustache

What you need is a beard that screams a heady mix of danger, adventure and romance.

What is going on with these 'top-knots' on lads?

 

I hate everyone.

That hairstyle is a disgrace on a man.

[Total Longo]

The whole thing is a disgrace, the top button of the shirt fastened, the ear-ring, the Guy Fawkes-esque 'tache, the "top knot".  

 

But most of all the ridiculous expression on his face.

[Major Tom]

I think everyone should wear and do what they like.

 

I just don't get the fact they just copy everyone else the whole time.

 

Fashion is stupid. And the people who follow it every year are stupider.

[Dr Nowt]

She wanted me to have one of said top knots last year.

 

I gave her a Victorian Dad cuff about the head and cut all my hair off.  It hasn't been mentioned since.

[Total Longo]

I've never quite understood why Liverpudlian girls think that these "Scouse Brows" look good, they don't, they look utterly stupid.

 

A perfect example of sheep like behaviour.

Repped for hating everyone. It's the only sensible solution.

 

Saying that, I don't actually mind the look of that bloke in the photo.

[RedKnight]

I've seen those weird haircuts on some of the lizards in the gym recently. It's an insult to any man that has real long hair and can tie it up like a Samurai warrior or Conte from Gomorra. I tie my hair back when I'm running, hope they feel like right cunts when they see my magnificent mane giving it in the full Conte.

When you say "the look" - do you mean "the look" he is giving to the camera?

[Major Tom]

When you say "the look" - do you mean "the look" he is giving to the camera?

 

I mean the hair and the beard. Not so keen on the earring.

 

The quizzical look at the camera, I can take or leave.

[Total Longo]

I think the quizzical look says it all. It's almost an admission of guilt.

 

Deep down, he knows he looks idiotic. 

[Major Tom]

haha

Regardless of how daft a look may or may not be, I find the idea of wanting to look like lots of other people in the first place baffling. You come out of Camp and Furness after a long shift behind the bar, afix the clothes peg to your head, comb your beard and then meet up with your Airfix kit mates with their clothes peg heads, pointy beards and shit tats. Then you all go to Leaf and enjoy a winter fruits Swedish cider for 8 grand, pulled by a chap with a clothes peg in his head and a shit beard. Nice tats you think to yourself, Green Day lyrics unless you're very much mistaken. Ah, but where are my female friends?

'Twas ever thus.  Except for the alcopop cider.  

[Mook]

I agree with Major Tom that you should let other people wear what they want but anyone who wears a shirt buttoned to the top, outside of work should be thrown out of a moving skyscraper into a tank of killer sharks.

 

Shitehawks.

About on a par with ridiculous pose of the clown in the picture on the mantlepiece
