I Am Fashionista
Last summer my days were spent under the hot sun and hot lights of the "Trannies!" set, the digital feature that I worked on. At the end of the whirlwind shoot was the traditional "Wrap-party" which was deemed a 'stash party, where all male attendees were encouraged to arrive sporting their chosen Mustache style. I was leery at first (at the time my wedding was 6 weeks away and I was worried about my face's ability to recover from a shaving) but caved to the pressure. And I was glad that I did, as it turned out that my 'stache had a distinct advantage as I already had the growth incorporated with my goatee, so it was simply a matter of subtraction. It was pretty surreal partying into the Santa Cruz summer evening with so many people sporting unsightly hair perched on their upper lip. That night we deiced that the mustache was defiantly on its way back in, and soon all the hot social spots on the cusp of fashion would become fun-house mirrors of a past decade. A decade where the 'stash was held in much higher regard. And now it seems that our prediction is coming true. Salon has an article about the resurgence of the mustache among the tragically hip demographic. Yet another reason I fear for my soul after the approaching relocation to TGLAA.
