FROM THE ALOTT5MA STRIKING FACIAL HAIR TRENDS DESK:  Kim and I couldn't quite find the words to describe Adam Lambert's striking new look.  Other than striking.

In other news, do not click on this gallery of examples of the monkey tail beard if you have trouble unseeing bizarre things which hipsters are now doing.  (HT: Glark.)

    I saw that monkey tail beard disaster on Tara Ariano's twitter feed yesterday.  Once you see it, you can't un-see it.

    He's like the Adam Lambert from the Mirror Universe in Star Trek.

    Yes, striking. Much like when a Union is striking, in that they are not working.

    Do the people who sport a monkey-tail beard understand what part of the monkey's anatomy the tail traditionally wraps around? Hint: it ain't the face.

    It's very Captain Jack Sparrow at Disneyland.  In other words, more derivative than he thinks and less effective than he intends.

    Incidentally, re Monkeytail beards, you all are a bunch of philistines.  Aesthetes for centuries have appreciated the beauty and harmony (and, some used to think, magical powers) of the golden mean.  If it was good enough for DaVinci and Mies, I don't see why it's not good enough for you.

    I can't remember... which is the gay monkey tail beard: from the left ear or from the right ear?  Because, man, you'd hate to look foolish!

  10. I just got from a concert David Cook did for charity here in DC, and it was just too good for me to spend much time pondering Adam Lambert's facial hair.

    Disliking that trend.  Yikes.

    (unrelated note: how many people here own Glark shirts?  I have a ton of them, myself!)

    Am I the only one who immediately thought, "Hey, it's the Master from Dr. Who!"?

    (Please feel free to pick apart my punctuation.)

  13. I believe given the preposition "from," it's properly "Dr. Whom."

    Glark FTW!

    70s sci-fi was all about hexagons.
