I've been exposed to some pretty fabulous beards in the past few weeks. A recent trip to the windy city provided at least 3 viable options (if you count a lion as a legitimate contender, and I do). This made the beard of the week selection this time around extremely difficult.
However, in the end I had to go with a truly unique individual and my all-time favorite artist, Vincent Van Gogh. Although it's not his most famous work of art, Van Gogh's self-portrait in the Art Institute of Chicago tells a lot about him, namely that he rocked a pretty sweet ginger beard. And although some fellow bloggers may disagree, I say that gingers need love too. Although it's possible he only painted it in to distract from the hole in his head left by the ear he cut off, in pictures the beard is kind of awesome.
Fun fact:
Stumbled upon the word Pogonophobia in a book the other day. It refers to the fear of beards.
Although at first I thought this was a ridiculous phobia, after doing some research I've got to admit the Pogonophobes have got a point. Key argument: beards are unclean. Just one more reason to keep your beards well-maintained, fellas.
I also found this interesting statistic on a Pogonophobia self-help site:
“In a recent survey, 9 out of 10 women reported preferring clean-shaven men to bearded men.”
Questions? Comments? Concerns?
I may have a slight phobia cause that picture terrified me a bit
ReplyDeleteIf that scares you just wait until you see my next post. It's all about this bearded man I met last night...
ReplyDeleteI used the service of this Hackspy-lord, when I suspected my husband of infidelity and had no proof to confront him, as he does most of his social activities secretly and denied never to have cheated on me. I reached out to a close friend and she introduced me to Hackspy-lord on 'hackingloop6@gmail.com, text or whatsapp him also on +1(484)540 - 0785. He explained how he would grant me access to my husband's phone without any traces. Of course I was skeptical at first but I had to erase the doubts so I went through with the process and he delivered giving me access to old texts and incoming texts on Whatsapp, Facebook, IG. He also got me into his email account and I was able to confirm my suspicion. I made the right call doing this, because of the relief I felt afterwards.
