Do you think that goatees are hot? Well many women do, as do the countless men who sport them. Even on the popular fashion blog and website, StyleList, they tagged a recent Getty photo of superstar A-lister, Brad Pitt, sporting his own brand of a goatee. But they were not so nice about what they had to say. And I quote, “While Brad’s skin still looks youthful and supple (and kissable, of course), the gray in his goatee ages his considerably. No skincare product is going to fix that.” (Here’s a link to this tidbit so you can see for yourself.)
Now on to my two cents here!
Okay first off, you don’t use skin care products to get rid of grey in a beard! How moronic is that notion? In fact, the last time I checked, hair dyes were classified as ‘hair care products.’ Also, have you considered that perhaps he does not mind the grey in his goatee? I think he looks refined, aged and sexy, and there is, I can guarantee you with all my pennies, no girl (just about) in the entire world that would ever disagree with me here! So my two cents for you Style List is twofold. One: don’t talk trash about Brad Pitt – he rocks! Two: get your facts straight, don’t mix up hair care and skin care and then expect fashion protagonists such as myself not to call you out and lambast you for it!
If he (Brad Pitt) wanted a dark goatee, he could easily call up one of his plethora of superstar stylists and have it dyed USING HAIR CARE PRODUCTS; NOT SKIN CARE PRODUCTS; as you so coyly suggest. This bantering—which I felt to be absolutely necessary here on so MANY levels—leads me to the point at hand: Goatees are sexy on most men, no matter their age, or if they have some grey in them (HINT-HINT!), and they can really augment and outline your facial features.
I have been rocking a goatee for more than a decade now, and I have always gotten compliments on it! So if you think that goatees are out, think again! Not only that, there is another added perk to these scruffy chin adages: You really cut down on shaving time. For me, I loathe the shaving process, so it’s already win-win over here!

On Saturday, August 7th, gallery admission is free for everyone. Families can enjoy live performances, gallery adventures, a drop-in drawing club, scavenger hunt, and hands-on art-making activities in the Walker and Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
Part skill-sharing workshop and part community festival, Open Field has transformed the green space just adjacent to the Walker into a cultural commons where visitors can enjoy a variety of family events, community-led discussions, art-making activities, and artist projects. There is a “tool shed” lending summer sports and recreation items, free Wi-Fi access on the green, and a tree-lined lounge and beer garden for social gatherings.
Thank you again for your wonderful support of the Walker! We hope that you take advantage of this offer as we invite you to “Spend the Summer in our Backyard”!

Living in the great ‘Wild West’ state of Arizona, there are so many fashion faux paws that I see on a regular and daily basis that bewildered is a vast understatement of my perception of this hair style dilemma that most people here face. What I am talking about is the existence of the most trashiest of all hair styles ever to be fathomed, one that had to be brewed in the vats of a moonshine, rusted-out bathtub somewhere far out in the desert—in a trailer park nonetheless—where some dude, somewhere, on some sunny day decided that a mullet was the way to go.
Boy I bet those swanky trailer ladies were all over him! (NOT!) And still, I see a rather startling and alarming abundance of this hideous hair style on many men that inhabit this western state. If you are a guy that is currently sporting a mullet, I am talking about you.
That’s right! Feel free to leave your comments, because in my opinion a mullet is the scalp equivalent to having a rat infestation in your house. It’s just plain awful-looking, and if you think that mullets are super-cool, you are on the wrong website my friends; the site you are looking for is Walmart’s website, where you can happily browse online with fellow mullet enthusiasts.
All that being said, I think here are some top reasons as to why this abomination of a hair style (which really is not a hair style if you ask me) is somehow still around today. Keep in mind this is mostly just for the sake of humor. So if you are unable to handle a good laugh, then you may as well move to France.
Top Eight Reasons Why I Can Derive That the Mullet is Still Around
