Hey all,
Since today was such a BEYOND beautiful day in the city of Pittsburgh and the weather made me extremely happy something sad came to mind as well.
I thought I would share with you all and maybe others have some thoughts on this:
Since the weather is getting warmer and more gorgeous, what happens to the beards?! There are definitely a number of guys who keep their beards all year round but some shave the beard as soon as it gets all hot and sweaty out and I don't blame them, because who really wants to see a sweaty, dripping wet beard, right? Well, I certainly don't! I can only imagine the hours of therapy i would need after that horrifying image!
We beard observers, admirers or lovers may very soon have to live in a world where the beard is gone for an extended vacation, we must ask ourselves... Is this a world we want to live in?
Sincerely,
StraightUp

StraightUp's How To's
This week's How To is fitting for those of us who ride the bus regularly or just like to check out a nice beard!
Here are some tips for those of us who feel the need to get our creep on for the cause of a rockin' beard but who do not feel the need to actually be a creep or be caught in an awkward moment in public domains!
How To: Stare at a magnificent beard with out getting caught!
1. Place yourself in a position where they are already in your eyesight- makes creepin' easier and also so you don't strain any neck or eye muscles! Keep it safe peeps!
2. If you are in class with a magnificent beard, situate yourself in class where the beard and your professor are in similar viewing range so it looks like your totally paying attention but really your staring with the best of them! This could be very tricky but the beard might be worth it so work your brainy magic!
3. When checking out a beard that is right in front of you, don't just flat our stare! You gotta have some finesse and just look up periodically. So, pretend your looking at something to the side and then when you turn your head back around, LOOK! (I pulled one of these today, and it was successful! Not to mention, uber classy.)
4. On the other hand though, if the beard you are witnessing is just too damn good to be subtle about, then stare your heart out! But you realize, that if you choose this option, you also have two sub-options because the reality is, is that you may get caught!
Sub-option #1- Stare and own it ya big 'ol beard lova! If you have the cojones (yeah I went there) to outright stare, then you should be prepared for the possible consequences. Like, the beard could call you out and it could be super embarrassing! Such is life my fellow beard admirers.
Sub-option #2- If you get caught staring, then smile (not too creepy though! Damn!) and start gettin' your mack on! Obviously you think this beard is attractive or at least impressive enough to stare at, so why not start giving this beard your old standbys; hair tossing, silly little laugh, crossing your leg next to his, whatever floats your boat.
Well, that's all I got at the moment but I appreciate all other ideas and comments so share! And remember to stare at them beards cause they be sexy!
Sincerely,
StraightUp

Blinded by the Beard
I’ll start by apologizing for a second post about a beard on a bus, but I had a critical experience on my way to class the other day.
It all started as we pulled to a stop and out of the window I spied a beautiful head of shaggy, curly hair. As he ascended the steps I caught a glimpse of a beautiful beard and my heart went pitter-patter. Finally the crucial moment came, we made eye contact as he walked down the aisle towards me…and I realized he wasn’t actually that cute. The hair and beard were on point, but the face was…lacking a certain something.
This brings me to a crucial question: Can a beautiful beard make up for a subpar face? It’s a well-known fact that there are some guys that should always have a beard. But what happens when even a beard doesn’t quite mask an unattractive face? Can we simply look to the beard and mop of curls and call a man attractive? Or are there some things that even a beard can't fix?

Beard(s) of the Week
They're the beards everyone is talking about. In the past few months they've had a number 1 song on the Billboard Alternative chart, been nominated for two Grammys, and performed alongside the legendary Bob Dylan on the Grammy stage. They may not have won the "Best New Artist" award last night, but hey, neither did Justin Bieber. This week's Beard of the Week goes out to Mumford and Sons. With facial hair as captivating as their music, these boys are taking America by storm.
