I have to admit, when a submitted stache from “Ronnie Moore” popped up in my email, I was extremely excited.  Finally, our first African-American brother in stache!  Ronnie Moore must be 6’3”, 280, with 4 tattoos, a wife beater, gold chain and black jeans, right?  Nope.  Just another white boy with a stache.   Not that that is a bad thing.  We welcome you as one of us, Ronnie.

Ronnie is actually a Stachist star, as his blog My New Mustache chronicles each day of his stache emerging.  I’d imagine logging on each morning would kind of be like having an advent calendar.  Except not really like that at all.

Though you can’t stay black, stay stached Ronnie.

Nigel Barris is a man of his word.  On April 10th, commenting on our brilliant post about DIY Sweatpant Staches, he was so inspired by the pants that he pondered growing a stache in order to submit his to us.  Just over two weeks later, on April 26th, we received the picture to the left.

Nigel has an MTV Stache.   That is, he could easily be a white rapper or skateboarder.  On the wall behind him, drawings of Bob Marley and a seductively posed woman hang.  If you listen closely, you can hear Miike Snow’s newest album in the background.

I want to hang out with Nigel.  But most of all, I want to thank him.  For promising, and delivering, a stache.

What do you get when you combine a newsboy hat, aviator sunglasses and a St. Christopher’s medal perched lovingly atop a hint of the mustache’s neighbor, the chestache?  You get a man who, according to his submission, is named Jer.  What do you get when you add a final accessory, this one below Jer’s nose?

You get a freaking rock star.

With the classic twist that only comes after roughing it through a week’s or even month’s long stage of awkwardness, today’s Submit Your Stache All-Star has reached the holy land of staches that few achieve: the necessity of actually having a favorite mustache wax.
