ideas are like beards; men do not have them until they grow up.

(etsy print sold here)

way back in february i wrote this here post about  my love for bearded men.  well, we're now half way through my favorite month of the year:  novembeard.  the basic idea is to start on nov 1 clean shaven and not touch a razor until the end of november.   check out random dudes' progress on the official novemBEARD website here.

in that spirit, let's have a look at some more of my favorite beards.

bearded bruce.  a way more awesome version of his current self.

i know i write about conan ALL THE TIME.  but i love him and am rooting for him.

this man is gorgeous.  perfectly perfect to the point of butterflies in my tummy.  devendra banhart.

drake bell beard.  cutie pie.

this might be the coolest photo i've ever posted.  those seemed like awesome times.  george harrison.  (also, if you live in a hole, you may not know that the beatles albums are coming to itunes.)

 zach: to me, you are perfect. 

i rarely find a face i like better clean shaven.  but here is one:

jon hamm.  he's so handsome without it, i can't get behind this.

you cannot grow a beard in a moment of passion.

i love beards.  i love a scratchy, dirty, unkempt beard.  it can be short, long, dark, silver... whatever.  just get one.  the print above found at this etsy store, needs to be on my wall, it's already in my heart!

here is a photo collection of some important beards - first up, ryan gosling, duh!

this is him as noah.  eep!

a silver fox:

this next one is fab moretti from the strokes.  i betcha drew barrymore is still kicking herself over this one.  what a babe.

here's jake, take a look at the photo below his of mahmoud ahmadinejad - they're beard brothers! remember "iran so far" the snl digital short? that one always made me get the giggles.

and here's my rad brother dave 'le diamond wolf' (and me!) at christmas:

snowy beard friend who was stolen away by stupid portland:

here's a beard that's not-so-nice:

ick!

ok dudes.  if you don't have a beard, that's cool.  maybe just have this on hand?

ginger too!
