Same photo, different chops:

Berlin 2005 Brighton 2007

MULLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello ladies

Finally, after years of hassling, Alex mulleted his hair, specially for brighton- all i can ask is why the wait?

Bogan-chic*, it's the new black


*for the americans in the audience (and possibly also for that crazy french dude that sometimes pops by) a bogan is the australian variation of a redneck - just without the gun

yeah yeah we know

that we said we would put up more photos from the competition and we are also well aware that we have not done it yet

here are two more photos as a teaserthe final steps on the road to brighton

seriously, look at those chops

A Preview

Kate is attending a conference on the Italian coast this week (which apparently also involves some beach reclining), so we won't get around to assembling a complete collection of Beard and Moustache Championship pictures for a couple more days. Here's a little teaser though, taken by a professional photographer in Brighton. The rest of his photos can be found here

and should include pictures of most of the contestants.

Woo hoo!

Pbbbbbbbbbt!

Yes, we have been very lazy about updating our blog lately. As you'll read below, things have become increasingly hectic as the Beard and Moustache Championship approaches. Dry cleaning needed to be picked up. Buttons had to be sewn. The proper headband/shirt combo had to be found. And it's not like we live in France where you only need to work four hours a day. So yes, things have been busy. But we're back again. And many more photos will magically appear after we return from Brighton.

Gold medal here I come!

Well, the beard and moustache championship is almost upon us and preparations have hit a fever pitch. After a two hour salon session today, I think the beard is looking in top form. Now all that's left are a couple of critical decisions. For example: Do I wear a head band?



or funny glasses?



And perhaps more importantly, what will I eat first when arriving in England? Curry? Fish n' chips? or bangers?

As always, opinions should be left in the comment section.

Brother Birthday Blogging

An oldie but a goodie. It's Kevin's birthday today, so I wanted to take the opportunity to post up an embarrassing picture of him. Taken almost 15 years to the day. I'm on the left, cutting a dashing pose in my tie-die. In the middle is arne, my first ever German exchange student. And on the right is my scrawny-looking little brother. Possibly drunk on German beer. Happy birthday!
