The 2007 Marvel Moustache Pageant
2007-10-19 12:05:02

Tom Brevoort
carries the hair torch
all year long

Yes. You read that title correctly. X-Editor Nick Lowe has rallied the Marvel troops into a contest of biblical proportions.

From about the beginning of October until October 25, numerous Marvel staffers have taken the plunge, doing their darndest to grow some wicked facial hair and achieve top honors in the Mustache [Nick's spelling...I prefer Mousatche] Pageant.

What exactly are top honors? Well...I'm not sure yet. But there are three categories:

1.) Best Standard Moustache: "Here we’re looking for the normal Tom Selleck fare. Full, robust, shiny."

2.) Most Creative Moustache: "Here’s where you bring your handlebars, your chops-to-stache, your Chaplin, your Raliegh Fingers, your pencil-thin, etc…"

3.) Worst Moustache: "No explanation needed."

I'll most definitely follow up with some video and photos from Pageant day, but here're a few mid-contest photos of some of the entrants so you can see just how serious (and terrifying) the crew at Marvel take their mustaches.

Gragh! I hate facial hair!!
Because of this stupid pageant, everywhere I look — HAIRY DUDES!!! Eeeewwww!!

It IS pretty funny, though...

wait wait wait
A rockin' stache can not be attached to a beard. That only causes the stache to loose its bravado and "hey look at my sweet stache, ladies"-ishness.

Props to Aubrey for being man enough to stache it, sans beard.

Tom... kinda wins without a contest. At all.

Oh man, I'm going to have to shave my beard... I suppose it'll grow back.

Chaplin? Hmmmm...

Hey, hey, hey-

The contest isn't OVER yet. It ends the 25th. No fat ladies have sung. There is still a chance for people to get in good moustache licks.

Whoops- that Cracksh0t was me. That was my old name. This is my new name.
