The mustaches of Lake Havasu
July 21, 2008Spent the weekend in Lake Havasu doing, among other things, some portraits of male Riverfolk with mustaches.
The male Riverfolk is an interesting species. In addition to driving absurdly expensive powerboats with names like “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” and thinking that wearing cut-off jeans with fluorescent-green tank-tops looks good, they grow their facial hair in interesting patterns. The mustaches on some males resemble the clean, thick growth of, say, a Tom Selleck or a Gerald McCraney (of “Simon and Simon” fame, aka Mr. Delta Burke).
Some, on the other hand, are thin, wiry and unkempt, similar to a K-Fed or a Kid Rock. They display an attitude that says, “I don’t have quite enough testosterone to grow this thing right, but I’m doing it anyway no matter how lame it looks.”
