If you heart mustaches as much as you heart NY, then the I <3 mustache shirt is for you. It looks like it’s only made for the ladies. Men, of course, can just grow their own.

Available at where-else-but Urban Outfitters.

Somebody has thought of another mundane item which can be shaped into a mustache and be made better. This time it’s mustache crayons. They’re made from real crayons. [Mustache crayons via Boing Boing]

A couple of SNLs ago (sorry, I’m not up to date) Zach Galifianakis shaved his signature beard into mustache, backstage while Vampire Weekend was playing. Later in the show he put on a convincing fake beard to make him look as he did before. I don’t know the current status of his facial hair or if he kept the stache after the show.

I find it incredible he shaved his beard. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for mustaches and everything, but his beard was pretty epic and defining. It’s like Tom Selleck shaving his mustache or Bert shaving his unibrow.

Check the backstage footage of the beard removal on Hulu:

There’s nothing quite like tight gold pants and a black leather shirt to make a mustache look like the ultimate sketchy accessory on top of an already sketchy-to-the-max persona.  The picture to the left, posted on the utterly hilarious and, quite frankly, sad (in terms of how lame some people are) blog failbooking, is about as comfortable as using a cheese grater on your johnson.

Wearing a mustache is unfortunately a right, not a privilege, and sometimes it can be used for purposes other than the greater good.  In this instance, it is used to help compound my nightmares of “Uncle Creepy”.  For any fans out there of the WWF in the 1990s, Uncle Creepy is Gold Dust – athleticism – fake plot + mustache = likely sexual deviant (“NSFW” photo album- though confusing and uncomfortable, likely safe for your work here: Uncle Creepy’s Creepiest Hits).

Reader Damian B. sent us a photo of his mustache while it was on vacation in Hawaii. You can almost feel the wind blowing through the curls of his untamed lip whiskers.

If you need to be told how to grow a mustache, then I’m not too sure you should be growing one in the first place. That said, the Internet is a great resource for all the self-improvement “dummies” out there. You can learn just about anything, however simple, like how to boil an egg.

Search Google for “How to _________” and you will almost always be returned pages from eHow or wikiHow.

Mustaches are apparently difficult enough for some that they warrant several how-to guides. But fret not, the difficulty of such feats have been deemed by their authors as “moderately easy.” Handlebar mustaches, understandably, may require some guidance from a seasoned professional, like this dude here.

Be sure you know what you’re getting into. The author of that last post warns in the last step:

Sport you unique stache around town and don’t be surprised if you get several comments per day.

With the short month of February drawn to a close, that means that Mustache March is now upon us. The movement is nowhere as big as Movember and seems to be somewhat of an imitation: growing mustaches for charity. Nonetheless, I think we should have Mustache January, Mustache February, etc. So I’m all for it. I just look to a day when men don’t need to use charity to get everyone to accept their staches.

You should be clean-shaven on March 1st and you’re allowed to grow out a beard until the 15th, which is known as “shave day,” after which only mustache facial hair is allowed. The event is then celebrated with a chili cookoff.

Awards are given for Best in Show, Most Disturbing, Most Fitting, Dirtlip Award, Preexisting Condition Class Award.

Gentlemen, start your staches!
